Creating the database
On coffee, login as the postgres
user, run psql
, then run the following:
CREATE USER greenlight WITH PASSWORD 'replace_this_password';
CREATE DATABASE greenlight;
ALTER DATABASE greenlight OWNER TO greenlight;
Running the playbook
Just the usual:
ansible-playbook playbook.yml
Once the playbook has finished, open /root/bbb/env
and set the
value of DB_PASSWORD
.
Also, place copies of csclub-wildcard-chain.crt
and csclub-wildcard.key
(the wildcard CSC SSL certificate and key, respectively) in the directory
/etc/nginx/ssl
. The key file must have permissions 0600.
Then, restart BBB:
bbb-conf --restart
Installing Greenlight
See here for instructions.
Important: Add 'PORT=5000' to the top of your env file for Greenlight. Otherwise it will listen on port 80, which NGINX is already listening on.
Creating an administrator account
Theoretically, there is a bundle command which should be able to create an administrator account. However, when I did this, I found that I was unable to login using the new admin credentials. Might be because of LDAP. Here's my workaround:
- Login once using your CSC credentials.
- Log out.
- On coffee, login as
postgres
, runpsql
, and run the following:
\c greenlight
UPDATE users SET role_id = 2 WHERE username = 'my_csc_username';
When you log back in, you should now be an admin.
Editing the env file
Whenever you edit /root/bbb/env, make sure to restart the greenlight container
on xylitol with e.g. systemct restart container-greenlight
and then run
podman exec greenlight bin/rake db:migrate
.
Greenlight customization
To ensure that future sysadmins automatically become Greenlight admins, create a new role called "sysadmin" from the org settings in Greenlight.
To set a custom logo in the top left corner, go to 'Site Settings', and replace the branding image URL. I'm using a small CSC logo hosted on our git server in the csc-propaganda repo.
