Dependencies

Setup

  1. Create Docker swarm

The generated computational workload is handled by a Docker swarm. A swarm is a group of machines that are running Docker and joined into a cluster. It consists out of two different kinds of members, managers and workers. Currently it is not possible to specify a dedicated Docker host, instead Opaque expects the executing system to be a swarm manager of a swarm with at least one dedicated worker machine. The swarm setup process is described best in the Docker documentation.

  1. Create shared network storage

  2. Get the source code and navigate into the code directory

git clone https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb1288inf/opaque.git
cd opaque

2.1 Create a configuration file

touch .env
# Account information of a mail account for sending emails to opaque users.
echo "MAIL_USERNAME=opaque@example.com" >> .env
echo "MAIL_PASSWORD=password" >> .env
echo "MAIL_SERVER=smtp.example.com" >> .env
echo "MAIL_PORT=587" >> .env
echo "MAIL_USE_TLS=true" >> .env
# A user registering with this email address will automatically promoted as an admin.
echo "OPAQUE_ADMIN=admin.opaque@example.com" >> .env
# Absolut path to an existing directory to save all opaque files.
echo "OPAQUE_STORAGE=/opaque/storage" >> .env

2.2

Create Python virtual environment, activate it and install the required python packages.

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
