-
-Also make sure you have "Ruby and bundler":install-manual-prerequisites-ruby.html installed.
-
-Workbench doesn't need its own database, so it does not need to have PostgreSQL installed.

-h2. Download the source tree
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">cd $HOME</span> # (or wherever you want to install)
-~$ <span class="userinput">git clone https://github.com/curoverse/arvados.git</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
+h2(#dependencies). Install dependencies
-See also: "Downloading the source code":https://arvados.org/projects/arvados/wiki/Download on the Arvados wiki.
+# "Install Ruby and Bundler":ruby.html
+# "Install nginx":nginx.html
+# "Install Phusion Passenger":https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/ownserver/nginx/oss/install_passenger_main.html
-The Workbench application is in @apps/workbench@ in the source tree.
+h2(#configure). Update config.yml
-h2. Install gem dependencies
+Edit @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
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">cd arvados/apps/workbench</span>
-~/arvados/apps/workbench$ <span class="userinput">bundle install</span>
+<pre><code> Services:
+ Workbench1:
+ ExternalURL: <span class="userinput">"https://workbench.ClusterID.example.com"</span>
+ Workbench:
+ SecretKeyBase: <span class="userinput">aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</span>
+ Users:
+ AutoAdminFirstUser: true
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-Alternatively, if you don't have sudo/root privileges on the host, install the gems in your own directory instead of installing them system-wide:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">cd arvados/apps/workbench</span>
-~/arvados/apps/workbench$ <span class="userinput">bundle install --path=vendor/bundle</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
-
-The @bundle install@ command might produce a warning about the themes_for_rails gem. This is OK:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>themes_for_rails at /home/<b>you</b>/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1/bundler/gems/themes_for_rails-1fd2d7897d75 did not have a valid gemspec.
-This prevents bundler from installing bins or native extensions, but that may not affect its functionality.
-The validation message from Rubygems was:
- duplicate dependency on rails (= 3.0.11, development), (>= 3.0.0) use:
- add_runtime_dependency 'rails', '= 3.0.11', '>= 3.0.0'
-Using themes_for_rails (0.5.1) from https://github.com/holtkampw/themes_for_rails (at 1fd2d78)

-h2. Choose your environment
-
-The Workbench application can be run in @development@ or in @production@ mode. Unless this installation is going to be used for development on the Workbench applicatoin itself, you should run it in @production@ mode.
-
-Copy the example environment file for your environment. For example, if you choose @production@:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/arvados/apps/workbench$ <span class="userinput">cp -i config/environments/production.rb.example config/environments/production.rb</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
-
-h2. Configure the Workbench application
-
-First, copy the example configuration file:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/arvados/apps/workbench$ <span class="userinput">cp -i config/application.yml.example config/application.yml</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
-
-The Workbench application reads the @config/application.yml@ file, as well as the @config/application.defaults.yml@ file. Values in @config/application.yml@ take precedence over the defaults that are defined in @config/application.defaults.yml@. The @config/application.yml.example@ file is not read by the Workbench application and is provided for installation convenience, only.
-
-Consult @config/application.default.yml@ for a full list of configuration options. Always put your local configuration in @config/application.yml@, never edit @config/application.default.yml@.
-
-h3. secret_token
-
This application needs a secret token. Generate a new secret:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/arvados/apps/workbench$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**400).to_s(36)'</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**400).to_s(36)'</span>
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-Then put that value in the @secret_token@ field.
+Then put that value in the @Workbench.SecretKeyBase@ field.
+
+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.
-h3. arvados_login_base and arvados_v1_base
+h2(#update-nginx). Update nginx configuration
-Point @arvados_login_base@ and @arvados_v1_base@ at your "API server":install-api-server.html. For example like this:
+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 in <span class="userinput">red</span>.
<notextile>
-<pre><code>arvados_login_base: https://prefix_uuid.your.domain/login
-arvados_v1_base: https://prefix_uuid.your.domain/arvados/v1
+<pre><code>server {
+ listen 80;
+ server_name workbench.<span class="userinput">ClusterID.example.com</span>;
+ return 301 https://workbench.<span class="userinput">ClusterID.example.com</span>$request_uri;
+}
+
+server {
+ listen 443 ssl;
+ server_name workbench.<span class="userinput">ClusterID.example.com</span>;
+
+ ssl_certificate <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.pem</span>;
+ ssl_certificate_key <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.key</span>;
+
+ root /var/www/arvados-workbench/current/public;
+ index index.html;
+
+ passenger_enabled on;
+ # If you're using RVM, uncomment the line below.
+ #passenger_ruby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/default/ruby;
+
+ # `client_max_body_size` should match the corresponding setting in
+ # the API.MaxRequestSize and Controller's server's Nginx configuration.
+ client_max_body_size 128m;
+}
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h3. site_name
-
-@site_name@ can be set to any arbitrary string. It is used to identify this Workbench to people visiting it.
-
-h3. arvados_insecure_https
-
-If the SSL certificate you use for your API server isn't an official certificate signed by a CA, make sure @arvados_insecure_https@ is @true@.
-
-h3. other options
-
-Consult @application.default.yml@ for a full list of configuration options. Always put your local configuration in @application.yml@ instead of editing @application.default.yml@.
-
-Copy @config/piwik.yml.example@ to @config/piwik.yml@ and edit to suit.
-
-h2. Start the Workbench application
-
-h3. Development environment
+h2(#trusted_client). Trusted client flag
-If you plan to run in development mode, you can now run the development server this way:
+In the <strong>API server</strong> project root, start the Rails console. {% include 'install_rails_command' %}
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/arvados/apps/workbench$ <span class="userinput">bundle exec rails server --port=3031</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
-
-h3. Production environment
-
-We recommend "Passenger":https://www.phusionpassenger.com/ to run the API server in production.
-
-Point it to the apps/workbench directory in the source tree.
-
-h2. Trusted client setting
-
-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.)
+Create an ApiClient record for your Workbench installation with the @is_trusted@ flag set.
-In the <strong>API server</strong> project root, start the rails console. 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:
-
-<notextile><pre><code>~/arvados/services/api$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console</span>
-irb(main):001:0> <span class="userinput">wb = ApiClient.all.last; [wb.url_prefix, wb.created_at]</span>
-=> ["https://workbench.example.com/", Sat, 19 Apr 2014 03:35:12 UTC +00:00]
-irb(main):002:0> <span class="userinput">include CurrentApiClient</span>
-=> true
-irb(main):003:0> <span class="userinput">act_as_system_user do wb.update_attributes!(is_trusted: true) end</span>
+<notextile><pre><code>irb(main):001:0> <span class="userinput">include CurrentApiClient</span>
=> true
+irb(main):002:0> <span class="userinput">act_as_system_user do ApiClient.create!(url_prefix: "https://workbench.ClusterID.example.com/", is_trusted: true) end</span>
+=> #<ApiClient id: 2, uuid: "...", owner_uuid: "...", modified_by_client_uuid: nil, modified_by_user_uuid: "...", modified_at: "2019-12-16 14:19:10", name: nil, url_prefix: "https://workbench.ClusterID.example.com/", created_at: "2019-12-16 14:19:10", updated_at: "2019-12-16 14:19:10", is_trusted: true>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h2(#admin-user). Add an admin user
+{% assign arvados_component = 'arvados-workbench' %}
-Next, we're going to use the rails console on the <strong>API server</strong> to activate our own account and give yourself admin privileges:
+{% include 'install_packages' %}
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/arvados/services/api$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console</span>
-irb(main):001:0> <span class="userinput">Thread.current[:user] = User.all.select(&:identity_url).last</span>
-irb(main):002:0> <span class="userinput">Thread.current[:user].is_admin = true</span>
-irb(main):003:0> <span class="userinput">Thread.current[:user].update_attributes is_admin: true, is_active: true</span>
-irb(main):004:0> <span class="userinput">User.where(is_admin: true).collect &:email</span>
-=> ["root", "<b>your_address@example.com</b>"]
-</code></pre></notextile>
-
-At this point, you should have a working Workbench login with administrator privileges. Revisit your Workbench URL in a browser and reload the page to access it.
+{% include 'restart_api' %}
+
+h2(#confirm-working). Confirm working installation
+
+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.
