OpenMoves

An open source alternative to Movescount.

Key features

• Free and open-source software
• OpenStreetMap integration
• Plots with curve smoothing

Requirements

• Python 2.7, 3.3 or 3.4
• virtualenv
• pip (package manager)

Setup

# cp openmoves.cfg.default openmoves.cfg
# virtualenv virtualenv
# source virtualenv/bin/activate
# pip install -r requirements.txt
# ./openmoves.py add-user -u <your_username> [-p <your_password]

Configuration

Options and parameters of openmoves.cfg:

• BING_MAPS_API_KEY Bing maps API key. If not configured the Bing maps layers are disabled. Get your own key at https://www.bingmapsportal.com
• SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI Database URL to be used

Running

# ./openmoves.py runserver
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your browser.

Testing

We use py.test to test server side code. Tests are executed with the following command given that your virtualenv is activated:

# py.test

If a test fails it might help to run in verbose mode and stop on the first failure:

# py.test -vsx

Note that the majority of unit tests write the latest HTML response to a local tempfile in /tmp/pytest-<your-username>/response.html using py.test's tmpdir mechansism.

JavaScript unit tests are written with QUnit and are not yet automated in the build and need to be run in a browser by browsing to:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/_tests

Hints or pull requests how to automate the qunit tests are welcome.

Deployment

We ship the openmoves.wsgi script to deploy OpenMoves in a Apache HTTP server with mod_wsgi.

PostgreSQL

While OpenMoves uses an on-disk SQLite database by default, we recommend to deploy OpenMoves on a proper database such as PostgreSQL.

First create a database and login role. Then overwrite the openmoves default database url in the openmoves.cfg file:

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://<user>:<password>@localhost:5432/<database>'

Then create/upgrade the database schema with:

# ./openmoves.py db upgrade

Create an initial user:

# ./openmoves.py add-user -u <your_username>
