Framadate/Technical documentation

Pagina legata al server ⚙️ intreccio

Brief documentation for system administrators of the Framadate instance in Wikimedia Italia.

Access

This is the public frontend access:

• https://framadate.wikimedia.it/

At the moment everyone is able to use the service without limitations, at its best effort.

Admin

This is the private backend admin panel:

• https://framadate.wikimedia.it/admin/

Credentials

The admin credentials are stored in this file:

cat /var/www/framadate/secret/htpasswd.cleartext

Change password

The admin credentials can be changed with this command:

htpasswd -c /var/www/framadate/secret/htpasswd admin

Operations

From the admin panel you can:

• list polls
• purge data
• migrate
• install check

Server access

Authorized people can access with SSH keys to the server ⚙️ intreccio:

ssh intreccio.wikimedia.it

To request access:

• Infrastruttura

Filesystem

The whole application is in read-only (writable only by root). It seems that only the tpl_c/ directory needs to be writable.

Update

Before any update always backup #Database and #Filesystem.

To update Framadate, see the official documentation:

https://framagit.org/framasoft/framadate/framadate/-/wikis/Maintenance/Updating

In short, download Framadate and make sure you have a directory like:

/var/www/framadate/framadate-$YOURVERSION/

Then update the configuration:

ln --symbolic /var/www/framadate/config/config.php /var/www/framadate/framadate-$YOURVERSION/app/inc/config.php

Then, make it online in production:

ln --force --symbolic /var/www/framadate/framadate-$YOURVERSION/ /var/www/framadate/production

Then run #Hardening.

Then visit:

https://framadate.wikimedia.it/admin/migration.php

See #Admin to access to the above page.

Eventually see #Customize the homepage.

If something does not work see #Log. Eventually see #Rollback.

Rollback

If you have any problem, you can revert your #Database from your backups.

You can also hot-change the production version to any previous version:

ln --force --symbolic /var/www/framadate/framadate-$YOURVERSION/ /var/www/framadate/production

Customize the homepage

To add a privacy policy in the homepage you can edit this file:

./tpl/index.tpl

For example adding these lines somewhere:

  <ul>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikimedia.it/privacy/">https://www.wikimedia.it/privacy/</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikimedia.it/cookie-policy/">https://www.wikimedia.it/cookie-policy/</a></li>
  </ul>

And then clean the cache with:

rm ./tpl/*index.*
