We need to put a try/except around saving the org and then return sensible error messages in JSON format.

Example of an error we need to catch and report:

IntegrityError at /api/organizations/
duplicate key value violates unique constraint "data_organization_name_key"
DETAIL:  Key (name)=(test org 2) already exists.
Request Method:	POST
Request URL:	http://localhost:8888/api/organizations/
Django Version:	3.1.8
Exception Type:	IntegrityError
Exception Value:	
duplicate key value violates unique constraint "data_organization_name_key"
DETAIL:  Key (name)=(test org 2) already exists.

Samples:

• hack-for-la , hackforla , hack4la, hack-4-la
• code-for-america , codeforamerica , code-4-america , code4america
• civictechindex , civic-tech-index

Fix:

Export environment variable pointing to settings file. It seems that for cti-website-backend_web container configuration is located in /CTI-website-backend/config/settings.py file

Overview

Hello there!

The Ops team is changing the way we deploy applications in Incubator, and we need the help of someone on this project to accomplish that. Thanks in advance!

There was a project.hcl file created and edited by a member of this project at one point - they'll need to be the one to participate.

Action Items

There's an epic issue that describes the overall process: hackforla/incubator#20

Please follow the guide there to effect the Terraform migration of this project's deployment!

Resources/Instructions

The Issue above has all the details you should need. We're using it as a central clearinghouse, so we'll updating it with any new information or clarifications so that we can help everybody.

Please reach out to @nyarly (@judson on slack) or @JasonEb (same handle) with any questions.

Overview

We have some work to do deploying the site to H4LA's new incubator infrastructure (AWS, terraform, terragrunt). We need to do some GitHub Actions work to automate deploying there. And there are a couple of scripts that need writing to fill in data from GitHub APIs; it's probably most convenient to do those in Python so we can use the Django ORM to put things into the database.

We should not be using DEBUG=True in our containers on AWS. But if we turn that to False with our current set up, we don't get any of the static files served. Install nginx in the container and serve static files from that and the dynamic stuff by proxying to gunicorn.

Overview

We need to create an API for Index Contributors filter so it can be used on the Organizations page.

Action Items

• Create an API that will filter the organizations that have already tagged their repositories with civictechindex
