CodeForAfrica/openAFRICA

openAFRICA aims to be largest independent repository of open data on the African continent. This repo contains the primary deployment scripts and files. Accessible at open.africa # openAFRICA *The continent's largest volunteer-driven open data portal.* This repo seeks to streamline deployment of the openAFRICA platform by pulling together the different components used for openAFRICA and deploy using dokku. ## CKAN CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals.

The ckan extensions we are using include: - ckanext-openafrica - github.com - ckanext-datarequests - github.com - ckanext-harvester - github.com - ckanext-s3filestore - github.com - ckanext-showcase - github.com - ckanext-googleanalytics - github.com - ckanext-issues - github.com - ckanext-gdoc - github.com - ckanext-envvars - github.com --- ## Development To set up your development environment: ```sh $ git clone github.com $ cd openAFRICA ``` Run this command (found on the docker-compose.yml): ```sh docker-compose build && docker-compose up ``` ### Updating CKAN Docker Image To update the `openafrica/ckan:latest` Docker image, edit `Makefile` and then run: ```sh make ckan ``` ### Tests ? --- ## Deployment We use dokku for deployment so you'd need to install and set it up first; ``` # for debian systems, installs dokku via apt-get $ wget raw.githubusercontent.com $ sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.11. …
