sharee.bike copri is a apache2 mod-perl postgresql based webapplication

You must be familiar with linux debian, apache webserver, postgres DBMS and in web programming.

On installation you have to be root. The postgres DBMS have to be installed with de-DE.utf-8 localization, because date style default is done in german way.
On debian based Linux systems you have to install following packages

apache2
postgresql
libapache2-mod-perl2 
libapache2-reload-perl 
libdbd-pg-perl 
libcalendar-simple-perl 
libdate-calc-perl 
libdbd-csv-perl 
libspreadsheet-writeexcel-perl 
libtext-csv-xs-perl 
libjson-perl 
libxrender1 
liburi-encode-perl 
libxml-simple-perl 
libio-all-perl 
libdatetime-format-pg-perl 
libcgi-pm-perl 
libfile-copy-recursive-perl 
libscalar-util-numeric-perl 
libauthen-pam-perl 
libnet-smtps-perl 
libconfig-general-perl 
libdigest-sha-perl
wkhtmltopdf

Webserver apache2 needs some modules loaded

a2enmod perl
a2enmod cgi
a2enmod rewrite
a2dismod mpm_event
a2enmod mpm_prefork
a2enmod headers
a2enmod ssl
a2enmod proxy
a2enmod proxy_http

service apache2 restart

The copri operator-instance installation is done by

mkdir /exports && cd /exports
git clone https://gitlab.com/t6353/sharee.bike.git
mv sharee.bike gitlab
cd /var/www && ln -s ../../exports/gitlab/copri4
mkdir /var/log/copri4 && chown www-data /var/log/copri4

Mainly for the frontend user-interface we use some external open-source icons and javascript - css libraries that can be included via the respective CDN or by download via the "copri4external" path. In the configuration file "global.cfg" there are some variables named bootstrap and jquery whose values have to be adjusted according to the library versions.

mkdir /var/www/copri4external && cd /var/www/copri4external

In this directory we will keep some external ressources. Some have to be unzipped.

1. Download the latest stable bootstrap version for example from https://getbootstrap.com.
2. Download bootstrap-icons from https://icons.getbootstrap.com.
3. Download the latest stable jquery library from https://jquery.com.
4. Download the latest stable jquery-ui library from https://jqueryui.com.

The library path and filenames must be configured in global.cfg, more about this below.

cd /var/www/copri4/main
ln -s /var/www/copri4external external
chgrp -R www-data external/*

For the creation of PDF files we use the program "wkhtmltopdf".

cd /var/www/copri4/main/src
ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf wkhtmltopdf-amd64

Setup the base copri database. You have to configure postgres to get just access by localhost. Set your postgres access rights.

su - postgres
createdb sharee_operator
exit
cd /exports/gitlab/copri4/shareeconf
gunzip -c examples/sharee_operator.sql.gz | psql -U your_psql_user sharee_operator

The installation has some configuration defaults and examples. You have to edit to fit your web-reachable DNS registered sharee servers.

• Operator-Instance DMS hostname is identified by "shareedms-operator.example.tld" and the helper hostname "shareedms-operator1.example.tld"
• Operator-Instance App API hostname is identified by "shareeapp-operator.example.tld" and the helper hostname "shareeapp-operator1.example.tld".
• Web-Project hostname is identified by "shareeweb-operator.example.tld" and the helper hostname "shareeweb-project1.example.tld".

There is until now a restriction in the naming of the server hostnames, because to differ the kind of copri application and take the right configuration. Please keep the first part hostname, so "shareedms-" and "shareeapp-" and "shareeweb-" have to be kept.

cd /exports/gitlab/copri4
edit shareeapp-operator/apache/shareeapp-operator.conf
edit shareedms-operator/apache/shareedms-operator.conf
edit shareeweb-project/apache/shareeweb-operator.conf

The global.cfg configuration is divided into sharp-cliped values.

• The <operator> block describes your operator-instance by operator-dbname <sharee_operator>.
• The <project> block describes your optional web-project by <shareeweb-project>.
• The <merchant_ids> block will indicate your block configuration on client request.

cd /exports/gitlab/copri4/shareeconf
rm *.cfg
cp examples/apikeys.cfg .
cp examples/mailx.cfg .
cp examples/global.cfg .

After setup all ressources make and check some file access rights by

cd /var/www/copri4 && ./mkaccess.sh

After configure your sharee apache confs, DNS, got SSLCertificate and set also the values in global.cfg. At last you have to softlink the sharee apache conf with:

cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
ln -s /var/www/copri4/shareeapp-operator/apache/shareeapp-operator.conf
ln -s /var/www/copri4/shareedms-operator/apache/shareedms-operator.conf
ln -s /var/www/copri4/shareeweb-project/apache/shareeweb-operator.conf
service apache2 restart

You should reach three webservers

1. For the bike sharing management

https://shareedms-operator.example.tld

2. To get access by the shareetool web-App and also by the sharee.bike bike booking App or your self-developed App. See also the API documentation

https://shareeapp-operator.example.tld

3. Is the optional webhost for iframe website integration. It implements station-map, user registration formular and contact menue.

https://shareeweb-project.example.tld 

Pre-configured operator admin account for first simple start. Please change login and password after setup!

Login: admin@example.tld
PW: Please_Change4
