The chkconfig command is only needed on CentOS 6, which isn't really
a supported multimedia platform. CentOS 7 and Fedora 21+
wouldn't require this command.
Also made the "exit" command (used after setting up the postgres
mediagoblin account and database) more explicit. This will help prevent
user errors for users who may skim through the documentation.
Some scripts on the internet have referenced paste_local.ini, so
it is safer to have a copy on the filesystem by default, even if
the user doesn't need to change any of the values for a regular
setup.
Previous media type docs referenced gstreamer0.10, but we've updated
to gstreamer1.0.
Also, Debian ships libav instead of ffmpeg now. Updated docs
accordingly
Finally, simplified the install instructions to two commands instead
of four commands.
Because of gstreamer-1.0 we need to migrate from old format of storing
metadata to new one. It seems that there are cases when original
metadata is empty for some reason.
The patch adds an earlier check that original metadata exists, skipping
everything is it doesn't.
Closes bug 5071
If we don't speficify a version for 'requests', Debian installs
v2.4.x, but there is an issue with urllib3 and pyopenssl in versions
prior to 2.6.0. This issue caused our installs to fail.
Updating our requirement to 2.6.0 or greater resolves this issue
and allows our installation processes to proceed normally.
`
- Use sudo instead of root user but give info on how to configure sudo.
- Changed docs to reference Jessie as the stable version of Debian
- Corrected the command to create the 'mediagoblin' system account
- Fixes https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/5083
There was a note informing the user that they should be aware that we
encourage them to install from the *master* branch, but we no longer
do that. If they follow our deployment docs, they will pull in &
use the *stable* branch.
Also clarified some root / non-root system usage by either specifying
a leading *hash* symbol to indicate a root-based command, or a
dollar sign to indicate a non-root command.
Added information about needed packages for RPM-based systems,
and simplified instructions to rely on the root account rather than
sudo-based instructions.
If a user has sudo access, they can easily add "sudo" to the needed
commands.
Also added information about enabling postgres to start on boot
and how to start it for the current session.
'adduser' is installed on Debian-based systems by default, but is
not installed by default on Fedora-based systems. 'useradd' is
installed by default on Debian-based systems, as well. The
'useradd'-based command provides the same functionality as
'adduser' in this case, though setting up a 'system' user with
no password.
Per bug 886, I've added the '--user-group' flag, which creates a
mediagoblin group, and assigns the mediagoblin user to this
group, too.
The function to retrieve tags was used incorrectly in skip_transcode,
assuming that str will be returned.
Now the code is aware of the return format of the function.
Closes bug 5065
The Goblin image URL was hardcoded in the frontpage welcome
template. Now it correctly uses the static directory settings.
