BornHack Media Archive

What

The BornHack Media Archive is a site for sharing pictures and video from BornHack events. It uses the BornHack website oauth2 provider for login.

How

Note! The server is using database functions not compatible with sqlite. Use postgresql instead.

• BMA uses BornHack OIDC for auth. Start by creating an oauth app on the BornHack instance you wish to use as auth server. This can be bornhack.dk or a local dev instance:

  • login to the BornHack instance and go to the url /o/applications.
  • register a new app.
  • client type public
  • grant type authorization code
  • redirect uri's BMA_BASEURL/accounts/oidc/bornhack/login/callback/ eg. http://127.0.0.1:8001/accounts/oidc/bornhack/login/callback/.
  • Algorithm RSA with SHA-2 256

• Then copy bma/environment_settings.py.dist to bma/environment_settings.py and either edit it directly, or use .env file or environment variables to configure.

• Run manage.py migrate

  • If you get a database error about missing 'gist', you need to run create extension btree_gist; on your postgresql instance.

• Run manage.py createsuperuser to create a local database-based superuser in the BMA instance

It should now be possible to login to BMA using a BornHack account.

To use the CLI app for uploading or BMA workers make sure the url of the autocreated oauth application for the user matches the BMA instance (for localhost dev change https to http).
