Stork Installation Instructions

NOTE: This page is being migrated to Stork ARM and is outdated. See Stork ARM at readthedocs for the up to date information.

Below are some system specific notes.

Ubuntu (docker)

On Ubuntu 20, you need to install couple packages first:

$ sudo apt install rake docker docker-compose python3-sphinx-rtd-theme openjdk-11-jre-headless

Get the stork sources, then:

$ rake docker_up

This is by far the simplest method. However, it requires the docker environment and Java to be up and running.

Ubuntu (native)

Make sure that postgresql is installed:

$ sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-client
$ sudo systemctl start postgresql

You may need to modify pg_hba.conf in /etc/postgresql (may be in 10/main subdir) and tweak the access rights, so the the unix account running Stork code will be able to connect as stork user in postgres.

local   all             all                                     password
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            password
host    all             all             ::1/128                 password

Create the database, stork user and assign necessary permissions:

# su - postgres
postgres@ubuntu:~$ psql postgres
psql (10.10 (Ubuntu 10.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# CREATE USER stork WITH PASSWORD 'stork';
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE stork;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE stork TO stork;
GRANT
postgres=# \c stork
postgres=# CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto;
CREATE EXTENSION
postgres=# \q

Install Rake: sudo apt install rake
Build the code:

rake build_agent build_backend build_migrations build_server build_ui

Initialize the db:

$ backend/cmd/stork-db-migrate/stork-db-migrate init
$ backend/cmd/stork-db-migrate/stork-db-migrate up

Run server in one console: rake run_server
Run the UI in another console: rake serve_ui
Run the agent in the third console: rake run_agent

You can now connect to http://localhost:4200, log in and connect your machine available at localhost:8888.

MacOS

MacOS is not officially supported. Here are some instructions for developers to run Stork.

NOTE: As of Nov 16, this requires changes from 87-macos. See !26.

Install postgresql: brew install postgresql
Make sure the service is started: brew services list and brew services start postgresql
Open psql postgres and create the user and database:

$ psql postgres
psql (11.5)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# CREATE USER stork WITH PASSWORD 'stork';
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE stork;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE stork TO stork;
GRANT
postgres=# \c stork
You are now connected to database "stork" as user "thomson".
stork=# create extension pgcrypto;
CREATE EXTENSION

(optional) Temporarily store the password in STORK_DATABASE_PASSWORD. Otherwise many of the following steps will ask about it: export STORK_DATABASE_PASSWORD=stork
Initialize the DB:

$ backend/cmd/stork-db-migrate/stork-db-migrate init

Upgrade the database:

$ backend/cmd/stork-db-migrate/stork-db-migrate up

Run the server: rake run_server
(in another console) Run the UI frontend: rake serve_ui
(in another console) Run the agent: rake run_agent
Click add new machine, use localhost:8888. This will at the agent you ran in the step 9 above.
