+h2(#install_workbench). Install Workbench and dependencies
Workbench doesn't need its own database, so it does not need to have PostgreSQL installed.
-On older distributions, you may need to use a backports repository to satisfy these requirements. For example, on older Red Hat-based systems, consider using the "nginx16":https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/nginx16/ Software Collection.
+{% assign rh_version = "6" %}
+{% include 'note_python_sc' %}
On a Debian-based system, install the following packages:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install bison build-essential graphviz git nginx python-arvados-python-client arvados-workbench</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install bison build-essential graphviz git python-arvados-python-client arvados-workbench</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
On a Red Hat-based system, install the following packages:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install bison make automake gcc gcc-c++ graphviz git nginx python27-python-arvados-python-client arvados-workbench</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install bison make automake gcc gcc-c++ graphviz git python-arvados-python-client arvados-workbench</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-{% include 'notebox_begin' %}
-
-If you intend to use specific versions of these packages from Software Collections, you may have to adapt some of the package names to match; e.g., @nginx16@.
-
-{% include 'notebox_end' %}
-
-{% include 'note_python27_sc' %}

-h2. Set up configuration files
+h2(#configure). Configure Workbench
-The Workbench server package uses configuration files that you write to @/etc/arvados/workbench@ and ensures they're consistently deployed. Create this directory and copy the example configuration files to it:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo mkdir -p /etc/arvados/workbench</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo chmod 700 /etc/arvados/workbench</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo cp /var/www/arvados-workbench/current/config/application.yml.example /etc/arvados/workbench/application.yml</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-h2. Configure Workbench
-
-Edit @/etc/arvados/workbench/application.yml@ following the instructions below. The deployment script will consistently deploy this to Workbench's configuration directory. Workbench reads both @application.yml@ and its own @config/application.defaults.yml@ file. Values in @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 Workbench 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 @/etc/arvados/workbench/application.yml@—never edit @config/application.default.yml@.
In @/var/www/arvados-workbench/current/config@, copy @piwik.yml.example@ to @piwik.yml@ and edit to suit.
+h2. Set up Web server
+
+For best performance, we recommend you use Nginx as your Web server front-end, with a Passenger backend to serve Workbench. To do that:
+

+<ol>
+<li><a href="https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/ownserver/nginx/oss/install_passenger_main.html">Install Nginx and Phusion Passenger</a>.</li>
+
+<li><p>Edit the http section of your Nginx configuration to run the Passenger server, and act as a front-end for it. You might add a block like the following, adding SSL and logging parameters to taste:</p>
+
+<pre><code>server {
+ listen 127.0.0.1:9000;
+ server_name localhost-workbench;
+
+ root /var/www/arvados-workbench/current/public;
+ index index.html index.htm index.php;
+
+ 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 server's Nginx configuration.
+ client_max_body_size 128m;
+}
+
+upstream workbench {
+ server 127.0.0.1:9000 fail_timeout=10s;
+}
+
+proxy_http_version 1.1;
+
+server {
+ listen <span class="userinput">[your public IP address]</span>:443 ssl;
+ server_name workbench.<span class="userinput">uuid-prefix.your.domain</span>;
+

+ ssl_certificate <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.pem</span>;
+ ssl_certificate_key <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.key</span>;
+
+ index index.html index.htm index.php;
+ # `client_max_body_size` should match the corresponding setting in
+ # the API server's Nginx configuration.
+ client_max_body_size 128m;
+
+ location / {
+ proxy_pass http://workbench;
+ proxy_redirect off;
+ proxy_connect_timeout 90s;
+ proxy_read_timeout 300s;
+
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
+ proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+ proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+ }
+}

h2. Prepare the Workbench deployment
-Now that all your configuration is in place, run @/usr/local/bin/arvados-workbench-upgrade.sh@. This will install and check your configuration, and install necessary gems.
+{% assign railspkg = "arvados-workbench" %}
+{% include 'install_rails_reconfigure' %}
{% include 'notebox_begin' %}
-You can safely ignore the following error message you may see when installing gems:

<pre><code>themes_for_rails at /usr/local/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.
</notextile>
{% include 'notebox_end' %}
-This command aborts when it encounters an error. It's safe to rerun multiple times, so if there's a problem with your configuration, you can fix that and try again.

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.)
-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:
