26 h2(#configure). Update config.yml
27
28 Edit @/etc/arvados/config.yml@ to set the keys below.  The full set of configuration options are in the "Workbench section of config.yml":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config.html

31 <pre><code>    Services:
32       Workbench:
33         ExternalURL: <span class="userinput">"https://workbench.ClustedID.example.com"</span>
34     Workbench:
35       SecretKeyBase: <span class="userinput">aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</span>
36     Users:
37       AutoAdminFirstUser: true
38 </code></pre>
39 </notextile>
40
41 This application needs a secret token. Generate a new secret:
42
43 <notextile>
44 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**400).to_s(36)'</span>
45 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
46 </code></pre>
47 </notextile>
48
49 Then put that value in the @Workbench.SecretKeyBase@ field.
50
51 You probably want to enable @Users.AutoAdminFirstUser@ .  The first user to log in when no other admin user exists will automatically be made an admin.
52
53 h2(#update-nginx). Update nginx configuration
54
55 Use a text editor to create a new file @/etc/nginx/conf.d/arvados-workbench.conf@ with the following configuration.  Options that need attention are marked with "TODO".

58 <pre><code>server {
59   listen       *:443 ssl;
60   server_name  workbench.<span class="userinput">ClusterID.example.com</span>;
61
62   ssl on;
63   ssl_certificate     <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.pem</span>;
64   ssl_certificate_key <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.key</span>;

71   #passenger_ruby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/default/ruby;
72
73   # `client_max_body_size` should match the corresponding setting in
74   # the API.MaxRequestSize and Controller's server's Nginx configuration.
75   client_max_body_size 128m;

85
86 h2(#confirm-working). Confirm working installation
87
88 Visit @https://workbench.ClusterID.example.com@ in a browser.  You should be able to log in using the login method you configured in the previous step.  If @Users.AutoAdminFirstUser@ is true, you will be an admin user.
89
90 h2(#trusted_client). Trusted client flag
91
92 Log in to Workbench once to ensure that the Arvados API server has a record of the Workbench client. (It's OK if Workbench says your account hasn't been activated yet. We'll deal with that next.)
93
94 In the <strong>API server</strong> project root, start the Rails console.  {% include 'install_rails_command' %}
95
96 At the console, enter the following commands to locate the ApiClient record for your Workbench installation (typically, while you're setting this up, the @last@ one in the database is the one you want), then set the @is_trusted@ flag for the appropriate client record:
97
98 <notextile><pre><code>irb(main):001:0&gt; <span class="userinput">wb = ApiClient.all.last; [wb.url_prefix, wb.created_at]</span>
