UNESCO-CMS

Requirements

Name	Recommended version	Reference for ubuntu xenial 16.04
Apache2	---	Installing Apache2
Nginx (for deployment)	1.15	Installing nginx
PHP	7.0 or higher	Installing PHP
MongoDB	3.2 or higher	Installing mongoDB
Nodejs	v10	Installing Nodejs
Supervisor (for deployment)	3.2	Installing supervisor

Set up

This current deployment is not possible to run locally. See deployment to run the current CMS on a server. It's possible to set up cockpit itself using docker, but that would run on sqlite and you would need to create all of the components and fields in them, in the same way that its done in one other UNESCO CMS instances.

Deployment

• Set up nginx for your instance. And start the nginx service.
• Set up supervisor for your instance. And start the supervisor service.
• Start your mongoDB service: sudo service mongod start
• Set up apache for your instance. And start the apache service.
• Some more specific information on cockpit cms set up:

  1. Unesco production server holds Cockpit CMS files (they were simply downloaded using wget). This CMS is written in PHP (Unesco production uses PHP v. 7.) and for the database it uses Mongodb (v. 3.2.20). CMS settings (like which database to use and etc.) can be configured in config/config.yaml file.

  2. To restart PHP (f. ex. after modifying something in the PHP files themselves), execute "sudo systemctl restart php7.1-fpm.service".

  3. For Mongodb docs (f. ex. how to use Mongo db shell or insert records manually, make / load db dumps), refer to https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.2/

  4. Cockpit CMS docs are here, but at the point of making this doc they really lack information. F. ex. for forgotten admin password, this needs to be done: agentejo/cockpit#109 (comment)

Below you'll find the original cockpit documentation
