HasGeek is a business, and like any business has trade secrets, intellectual property and competition. Hasjob's code is not intended to be used to setup rival job boards.

Hasjob can be used with Docker (recommended) or the harder way with a manual setup.

With Docker

Install and run with Docker

• Install Docker and Compose

• Next, rename the instance/development.docker.py to instance/development.py

• Build the images

  $ docker-compose build
  

• Initialize the database

  $ docker-compose run web sh
      web$ python manage.py db create
      web$ exit
  

• Start the server

  $ docker-compose up
  

• You can edit the server name and Lastuser settings in docker-compose.yml

Without Docker

Hasjob without Docker requires manual installation of all dependencies.

Postgres and Redis

Hasjob requires Postgres >= 9.4 and Redis. To set up a Postgres DB:

On OS X using the Postgres App:

$ # Add Postgres app to the path if it's not already in there
$ export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"
$ # Make the user and database
$ createuser -d hasjob
$ createdb -O hasjob -W hasjob

On any Linux distribution:

$ sudo -u postgres createuser -d hasgeek
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O hasgeek hasjob

Edit instance/development.py to set the variable SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI to postgres://hasjob:YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE@localhost:5432/hasjob.

Redis does not require special configuration, but must listen on localhost and port 6379 (default).

Local URLs

Hasjob makes use of subdomains to serve different sub-boards for jobs. To set it up:

• Edit /etc/hosts and add these entries:

  127.0.0.1    hasjob.dev
  127.0.0.1    static.hasjob.dev
  127.0.0.1    subboard.hasjob.dev
  

• Edit instance/development.py and change SERVER_NAME to 'hasjob.dev:5000'

Install dependencies

Hasjob runs on Python with the Flask microframework.

Virutalenv + pip/easy_install

If you are going to use a computer on which you would work on multiple Python based projects, Virtualenv is strongly recommended to ensure Hasjob's elaborate and sometimes version-specific requirements doesn't clash with anything else.

You will need to install all the requirements listed in requirements.txt using easy_install or pip:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

If you get an error, try running:

$ easy_install -U setuptools

Finish configuration with:

$ python manage.py db create

Before you run the server in development mode, make sure you have Postgres server and Redis server running as well. To start Hasjob:

$ python runserver.py

Other notes

If you encounter a problem setting up, please look at existing issue reports on GitHub before filing a new issue. This code is the same version used in production so there is a very good chance you did something wrong and there is no actual problem in the code. Issues you encounter after setup could be real bugs.

WSGI is recommended for production. For Apache: enable mod_wsgi and make a VirtualHost with:

WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/hasjob/git/repo/folder/website.py

For Nginx, run website.py under uWSGI and proxy to it:

location / {
    include uwsgi_params; # Include common uWSGI settings here
    uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8093;  # Use the port number uWSGI is running on
    uwsgi_param UWSGI_CHDIR /path/to/hasjob/git/repo/folder;
    uwsgi_param UWSGI_MODULE website;
}
