  • web-interface.py: the flask application
  • api.py: script with all the functions that are used by the flask application

To run wiki-to-print in the background

$ sudo service wiki2print status
$ sudo service wiki2print start
$ sudo service wiki2print stop
$ sudo service wiki2print restart

The service is configured at: /etc/systemd/system/wiki2print.service

For debugging (on the server)

You can find the files of wiki-to-print here:

$ cd /var/www/wiki2print/web-interface/

You can run the flask application directly (instead of running it as a systemd service):

$ make server

If you add prints statements in the python files you can see the result in the terminal.

For debugging (through a local installation)

$ git clone ssh://gitea@vvvvvvaria.org:12345/varia/wiki-to-print.git
$ cd wiki-to-print/wiki-to-print/web-interface/
$ make setup
$ make local

jobrunner

There is a script called jobrunner.sh in /var/www/html/wiki/ that is based on: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue#Continuous_service

It runs the MediaWiki jobs every minute.

It is installed on CC and runs in the background as a system-d service, called "jobrunner", which can be used with:

$ sudo service jobrunner status
$ sudo service jobrunner start
$ sudo service jobrunner stop
$ sudo service jobrunner reload

The service is configured at: /etc/systemd/system/jobrunner.service
