h2. Install prerequisites
Workbench doesn't need its own database, so it does not need to have PostgreSQL installed.
-{% include 'note_python27_sc' %}
+{% assign rh_version = "7" %}
+{% include 'note_python_sc' %}
On a Debian-based system, install the following packages:
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 python27-python-arvados-python-client arvados-workbench</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-h2. Set up configuration files
-
-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>
+<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>
h2(#configure). 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.
+Edit @/etc/arvados/config.yml@ to set the keys below. Only the most important configuration options are listed here. The full set of configuration options are in the "Workbench section of config.yml":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config.html
-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@.

-h3. secret_token
+h3. Workbench.SecretKeyBase
This application needs a secret token. Generate a new secret:
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-Then put that value in the @secret_token@ field.
+Then put that value in the @Workbench.SecretKeyBase@ field.
+
+<notextile>

+ SecretKeyBase: <span class="userinput">aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
-h3. arvados_login_base and arvados_v1_base
+h3. Services.Controller.ExternalURL
-Point @arvados_login_base@ and @arvados_v1_base@ at your "API server":install-api-server.html. For example like this:
+Ensure that @Services.Controller.ExternalURL@ is configured for "Arvados Controller":install-controller.html . For example like this:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>arvados_login_base: https://prefix_uuid.your.domain/login
-arvados_v1_base: https://prefix_uuid.your.domain/arvados/v1
+<pre><code>Cluster:
+ zzzzz:
+ Services:
+ Controller:
+ ExternalURL: <span class="userinput">https://prefix_uuid.your.domain</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h3. site_name
+h3. Workbench.SiteName
-@site_name@ can be set to any arbitrary string. It is used to identify this Workbench to people visiting it.
+@Workbench.SiteName@ 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@.
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>Cluster:
+ zzzzz:
+ Workbench:
+ SiteName: <span class="userinput">My Arvados</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+h3. TLS.Insecure
-h3. Other options
+For testing only. Allows use of self-signed certificates. If true, workbench will not verify the TLS certificate of Arvados Controller.
-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@.

+<pre><code>Cluster:
+ zzzzz:

-h2. Configure Piwik
+h2. Configure Piwik (optional)
-In @/var/www/arvados-workbench/current/config@, copy @piwik.yml.example@ to @piwik.yml@ and edit to suit.
+Piwik can be used to gather usage analytics. In @/var/www/arvados-workbench/current/config@, copy @piwik.yml.example@ to @piwik.yml@ and edit to suit.
h2. Set up Web server
<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>If you're deploying on an older Red Hat-based distribution and installed Pythyon 2.7 from Software Collections, configure Nginx to use it:
-
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo usermod --shell /bin/bash nginx</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo -u nginx sh -c 'echo "[[ -z \$PS1 && -e /opt/rh/python27/enable ]] && source /opt/rh/python27/enable" >>~/.bash_profile'</span>
-</code></pre>
-
-</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 {
#passenger_ruby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/default/ruby;
# `client_max_body_size` should match the corresponding setting in
- # the API server's Nginx configuration.
+ # the API.MaxRequestSize and Controller's server's Nginx configuration.
client_max_body_size 128m;
}
index index.html index.htm index.php;
# `client_max_body_size` should match the corresponding setting in
- # the API server's Nginx configuration.
+ # the API.MaxRequestSize and Controller's server's Nginx configuration.
client_max_body_size 128m;

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:
+You can safely ignore the following error message you may see when Ruby Gems are installed:
<notextile>
<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.)
