Notes

PIL dependency

On ubuntu 11.10/64bit:

pip doesn't install PIL properly under 64bit ubuntu - it misses zlib, libjpeg and libfreetype.

Cheesy hack workaround is to install ubuntu PIL package then copy the files into the virtualenv manually:

$ sudo apt-get install python-imaging
$ cp -r /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL {{VIRTUALENV}}/lib/python2.7/site-packages

On Amazon EC2 Linux AMI:

pip compiles PIL from source, so make sure all the image format libraries are installed before installing PIL - the missing ones won't be installed and you'll end up with annoying IOError: decoder jpeg not available kinds of errors.

$ sudo yum install libjpeg libjpeg-devel

Alternate setup (debian/ubuntu):

$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
$ sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libgif-dev libjpeg-dev libmysqlclient-dev

(assumes you've got mysql etc already installed)

$ mkdir unsourced.org
$ cd unsourced.org
$ git clone https://github.com/bcampbell/unsourced
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages pyenv
$ . pyenv/bin/activate
$ pip install --upgrade distribute
$ pip install -r unsourced/requirements.txt

$ git clone https://github.com/bcampbell/decruft.git
$ git clone https://github.com/bcampbell/metareadability.git
$ ln -s $PWD/decruft/decruft unsourced/scrapeomat/
$ ln -s $PWD/metareadability/metareadability unsourced/scrapeomat/

$ mkdir uploads

then:

make sure uploads dir is writable by server mysqladmin create customise config.py and alembic.ini

 python unsourced/app.py
 python unsourced/scrapomat.py

Production site runs behind Nginx, and uses supervisord to manage processes. See sample config files in config/

The Debian Squeeze packages for nginx are a bit stale. Nginx.org has more recent packages available.
