Install OnDemand From Source

OnDemand is in a Github repository located at https://github.com/osc/ondemand, and it is installed to /opt/ood.

cd /opt/ood
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/osc/ondemand
git pull origin master

Warning

We need to perform the git init and pull instead of a clone because /opt/ood already exists because it is created by one of the other RPMs that we have installed, and git will refuse to clone into an existing directory with contents. These directories are added:

Table 2.1 OnDemand

Directory	Description
mod_ood_proxy	Apache OnDemand Lua module
nginx_stage	scripts to manage Per User NGINX processes
ood_auth_map	mapping script to map authenticated user to system user
ood-portal-generator	scripts for generating OnDemand Apache config from configuration file
apps	directory containing all the core OnDemand apps

• Other directories such as ‘packaging’ are not relevant.

Now copy the apps to the deployment location:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/ood/apps/sys
sudo cp -r /opt/ood/apps/* /var/www/ood/apps/sys

Finally install each app’s npm or gem dependencies and build static assets. In each app directory:

cd /var/www/ood/apps/sys/$APP

# We have both Node and Rails applications, let's cover both in a single command
sudo NODE_ENV=production RAILS_ENV=production scl enable ondemand -- bin/setup

If on an operating system without Software Collections, ensure the correct versions of NodeJS and Ruby are set in the environment when executing sudo and omit scl enable ondemand --:

cd /var/www/ood/apps/sys/$APP

# We have both Node and Rails applications, let's cover both in a single command
sudo NODE_ENV=production RAILS_ENV=production bin/setup

Or force install the Ruby dependencies in each app directory instead of centrally with the Ruby install:

cd /var/www/ood/apps/sys/$APP

# We have both Node and Rails applications, let's cover both in a single command
sudo NODE_ENV=production RAILS_ENV=production BUNDLE_PATH=vendor/bundle bin/setup
