This is a direct appeal to everyone for working installation instructions
for Commcare. I have tried all methods (manual, docker and ansible) and
none is working. The docker was the closest that works however, there is no
data in reports.
I am a developer with over 10 years experience and contributed code to
DHIS, apache and other projects so I have the technical background to do
this however, the instructions are either dangerously incomplete or out of
date.
I have studied the source code however, there is a limit to what I can do
with limited time or lack of documentation.
The reports work off Elasticsearch. In order to get data into ES you need
to run a background service called 'pillowtop'. The steps for doing this
are in the readme but I'll copy them here for your convenience:
run the Django server
$ ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Keeps elasticsearch index in sync
$ ./manage.py run_ptop --all
Please feel free to contribute any changes or additions to the
documentation via a pull request on GitHub.
