Change to BIM - Environment variable missing

Added by darcy yeoman almost 3 years ago

Hello, What is the edition name for OpenProject with BIM?

Specifically, what is the environment variable OPENPROJECT_EDITION for choosing BIM? The default value is OPENPROJECT_EDITION: "standard"

The documentation on environment variables is poor, listing only the default but no mention of the other supported variables.  Please see the support page here.  The page regarding changing to BIM edition does not list the edition name of BIM. 

I am running a dockerized version of OpenProject (fresh install) and want to convert to BIM from standard. The instructions say that I can choose edition by modifying the environment variable. I cannot find the name of the variable. I have tried "bim" but I received errors when setting the variable.

I cannot find a full list of environment variables, google can't find a full list of environment variables. Only the page linked above and only the 'default' values are found. 

Where can I find a full list of variables???

I'm sorry, I am frustrated by the lack of proper documentation.

Thank you kindly for your assistance,

Darcy.

Dear darcy yeoman, thank you for your feedback. It's true, we didn't yet publicly document how to setup OpenProject BIM on Docker.

I just created a ticket to improve our documentation on how to setup the BIM Edition with Docker. The goal is to improve our documentation with the missing bits. The ticket already has some very basic instructions. I hope they help you in the mean time. If you continue running into issues please comment directly on the ticket.

Based on your report here I created another ticket to improve the documentation for environment variables.

Thank you!

Best regards

Wieland Lindenthal (CTO BIM Edition)

Thank you Weiland! 

Our CEO would like to test OpenProject with BIM for our project management needs before we engage with Enterprise support for our users. 

I look forward to viewing the updated resources. :)

warm regards,

Darcy.

My apologies, I have found the tickets that you mentioned only by looking at your activity stream. I get a 404 when I try to view 41132, 41133. Are these tickets public?  I don't see them in the recent activity list either. 

Thank you again,

Darcy.

Sorry Darcy

The description content of the tickets 41132, 41133 was posted here, the tickets were moved to the Documentation project which is at the moment private.

As soon as the documentation is online, I will update this post.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have a nice weekend to all of you.

RE: Change to BIM - Environment variable missing - Added by Wieland Lindenthal almost 3 years ago

Hi darcy yeoman,

Sorry for all the confusion here. I corrected my original reply to your question. It now contains the links again. And the work packages are now public.

To solve your issue, please follow the instructions I sketched here. Please let me know in case the instructions don't work for you. Also, please share your feedback with us, once you tried the BIM edition. By the way, we are currently developing an integration with the document management system Nextcloud, which is something like Dropbox or Google Drive but open source, just as OpenProject. We believe that this will cover so many needs a typical AEC/BIM company has, such as "Where are all the files for that task?".

Kind regards,

Wieland

@Wieland Lindenthal, @Adam Szabo

Please, no apologies are necessary. I appreciate your efforts! Thank you both so very much! :)

The instructions you posted has enabled me to spin up a fresh container with OpenProject with BIM.  And it has the correct sample data!

I'm quite happy!!

I've got one issue (with notifications (503 error)). Compose_web_1 is stuck in 'starting' mode (in Portainer).

I modified my listen port to 8083 in the docker-compose.yml but puma appears to still be listening on 8080. I think I need to modify the postgresql.conf  but I'm troubleshooting this while I explore the OpenProject and it's features.

If worse comes to worst, I'll move the service currently on 8080 to a different port and create a fresh container.

I am excited about document management integration! It has piqued the interest of some of my cohorts. :)

Off to testing with this initial install! :) If I cannot solve the issue with notifications I may ask for some guidance (if that is ok).

Thank you again and I hope you both have a great weekend!

warm regards,

Darcy.

Hey darcy yeoman,

I am glad that the instruction for setting up the BIM edition have worked.

Regarding the other issues that you have reported: I didn't yet understand the issue you are facing. We need a more complete bug report, with steps that help us to reproduce the issue. So if you observe a bug with our latest docker-compose (you find it here) file please feel free to open a bug report here in our "Docker" project.

Regards,

Wieland
