Remote managed mode

Remote managed mode

Hi,

I'm interested in setting up the remote managed mode, a "Hosted Toaster".

I followed the instructions on
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_production_instance_of_Toaster
for setting up a production instance in interactive mode.
There were a couple of typo's in the wiki
In section 4

CREATE DATABASE toaster;

I think should be

CREATE DATABASE toaster_data;

and in section 6.

<Location />
    WSGIProcessGroup toastern_wsgi
</Location>

doesn't work for me but removing the n to give

WSGIProcessGroup toaster_wsgi

gets me to the point where I can navigate to the main web page.

As it's interactive mode it's expecting a build.  How do I start the
web server up so it's in managed mode?

Cheers,

Martin.

Thanks for pointing those out, I've fixed them in the wiki.

The instructions for managed mode (aka build mode) for 1.8 are here:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/toaster-manual/toaster-manual.html#setting-up-a-hosted-service-and-running-in-build-mode

Note that we've recently changed how this works in master, so we now have a
BUILD_MODE variable (for the moment, at least) to turn build mode on. The
updated docs explaining that are in progress.

Cheers,
Elliot

Hi Elliot,

Thanks for the swift reply.  I'll try the instructions from the Manual on
the real server.
Should I use master or will the Jethro branch be more advisable.
If master where do I set BUILD_MODE and what shall I set it to?

Cheers,
Martin.

Yes though bitbake/bin/toaster script is only for the 'localhost' setup, 
not for remote/hosted managed mode.

If you're using master or jethro/2.0 I think what is missing in the wiki 
instructions is setting the BUILD_MODE = true in
bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py

see latest docs here 
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/toaster-manual/toaster-manual.html#setting-up-a-hosted-service-and-running-in-build-mode

The wiki page was just meant to be a staging place for documentation 
before it's official which might be a bit confusing now that I think 
about it, I'll put a warning/link at the top to the main documentation.

Thanks
