Dear all,
This is my 5th attempt to setup commcare on a local server and no success.
I am
following https://github.com/dimagi/commcare-hq/blob/master/PRODUCTION-INSTALL.md
for this attempt.
I have eddited fabfile.py with the task and when I run fab, I receive this
error:
File "/home/user/commcare-hq/fabfile.py", line 10, in
from fab.fabfile import *
ImportError: No module named fab.fabfile
Are more up to date instructions available anywhere? Please help. thanks.
Euc.
Hi Eucalyptus,
You can try installing CommCareHQ with Docker. The instructions for that
can be found here: commcare-hq/docker at master · dimagi/commcare-hq · GitHub.
Our Docker setup is maintained and used daily by our developers and
continuous integration.

remove fabric from your system with sudo apt-get remove fabric
Thanks Ben, this is helpful.
My concern was the caveats:
This gives the impression that the docker setup is intended for
demonstration purposes and not for more stable production runs.
Is there a tutorial to improve this setup? thanks for your help.
Euc.
Correct, this isn't used in a production environment, so I can't guarantee
it'll work perfectly in that situation. We use ansible to deploy our stack
to our different environments: GitHub - dimagi/commcare-cloud: Tools for standing up and managing a CommCare HQ server environment.
It's complex and there are a fair number of moving parts, but it may be of
some use for you. Unfortunately, the documentation for it isn't the best.
I'm not sure the requirements of your setup, but you could use docker and
then setup Cloudcare and celery independently.
Alternatively, you can always use our hosted version
https://www.commcarehq.org/. The most basic plan is free. We also offer
support and setup for environments that need to be hosted elsewhere.
Ben
Thanks Ben, this is helpful.
My concern was the caveats:
- CloudCare is not currently part of this set up. It should probably
be another docker image, different from CommCareHQ.- Celery, rabbitmq and other components not strictly necessary for a
laptop install are not part of this setup.This gives the impression that the docker setup is intended for
demonstration purposes and not for more stable production runs.Is there a tutorial to improve this setup? thanks for your help.

Thanks Ben, I will try the docker and ansible procedure and share feedback.
Dear Ben,
Thanks for your guidance. I am now using docker and its running mostly
well. Some issues came up:
Kindly assist. regards.

Hi Euc,
I'm not exactly sure why your tabs are missing without inspecting your
setup, but I suspect it may be a permissions issue. Check
commcare-hq/corehq/tabs/tabclasses.py at master · dimagi/commcare-hq · GitHub
file and check out the _is_viewable function to see the conditions for
why certain tabs are available.
Great question, if I totally knew the answer than our website would be a
lot faster! There are many places where the slow down can happen,
especially in development. I would try excluding any unnecessary apps (such
as djangoextensions). You also may want to try reworking the way
staticfiles are parsed, you can read more about that here:
GitHub - dimagi/commcare-hq: CommCareHQ is the server backend for CommCare, the world's largest platform for designing, managing, and deploying robust, offline-first, mobile applications to frontline workers worldwide.
Otherwise I'm not sure if there's any magic bullet. You can always try
profiling the app to see where the slowdowns are.

Dear Ben,
Thanks for your guidance. I am now using docker and its running mostly
well. Some issues came up:
- User menu has disappeared so I can't add more users. How do I restore
it? Please see attached a screengrab. The menu was previously complete.
Also, I created a new project and it has complete menu.- The web pages load slowly. How do I improve the response time? I am
running the docker image on 4 processor/64Gb RAM VM yet web pages take
significant time to render.Kindly assist. regards.

Hi Euc,
To add to what Ben said, if you are trying to run this as a production
environment, you should set the DEBUG flags to False in your
localsettings.py. Depending on how your static files are set up, you might
want to follow the instructions to pre-compress and serve your static files
here
https://github.com/dimagi/commcare-hq#option-3-compress-offline-just-like-production.
The users menu disappearing might be due to not having the proper web user
roles on your web user. You can see here
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCareHQ+Web+Users
for more information on user roles. For other questions about how CommCare
works, that wiki is a good source of knowledge.
Hope that helps,
Farid

Thanks Ben and Farid, Its weird but the admin role is displayed as unknown
(screenshot attached). This is the default account in docker setup and I
did not change anything. I appreciate your assistance on this. regards.
