A web frontend to Gmsh

Goatee

Goatee is a web interface to Gmsh.

Deployment

1. Sign up for Amazon EC2.

2. Start an Ubuntu 12.04 instance with the following User Data:

   #!/bin/bash
   set -ex
   
   function first-setup() {
     apt-get update
     apt-get install --yes git npm rubygems gmsh
     gem install foreman
     npm install -g coffee-script
   
     cd /home/ubuntu
     sudo -u ubuntu git clone --bare \
       git://github.com/ariofrio/goatee.git
   }
   
   function start() {
     cd /home/ubuntu/goatee.git
     sudo -u ubuntu wget -O hooks/post-receive \
       https://raw.github.com/gist/3178891/post-receive
     chmod +x hooks/post-receive
     sudo -Hu ubuntu hooks/post-receive
   }
   
   if [ ! -d /home/ubuntu/goatee.git ]; then
     first-setup &>> /var/log/goatee-setup.log
   fi
   start &>> /var/log/goatee-setup.log
   

   

   If you haven't yet, create a new Key Pair and download it. You will need it to access the instance if it fails, and to update its software.

   Finally, if you haven't yet, you'll need to create a new Security Group: add an SSH rule and an HTTP rule.

   

   After 5 minutes, open the app by visiting the Public DNS or a Public IP.

Debugging

The setup script logs to /var/log/goatee-setup.log. The app logs to /tmp/goatee-PORT-XXXXXX.log.
