Rundown of creating a core developer environment.

(fork arches repo and clone your fork locally)

$ cd arches
$ cp docker-compose.yml docker-compose-local.py

(edit it in the manner described at the bottom of https://github.com/archesproject/arches/blob/master/docker/Readme.md#arches-core-development)

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-local.yml run --entrypoint /bin/bash arches

(It will pull images and build the arches image, and then put you into a bash shell on the arches container)

# cd ..
# source ENV/bin/activate
(ENV) # pip install arches --no-binary :all:

(pip install runs)

(ENV) # arches-project create -d /web_root/PROJECTNAME PROJECTNAME

(Some stuff, including a yarn install)

(ENV) # exit

(back on local)

(Edit settings_local.py:
  update the Postgres host, project, username and password to reflect docker-compose settings (db, PROJECTNAME, postgres, postgres)
  update elasticsearch hosts to be the host in docker-compose (elasticsearch)
  STATIC_ROOT = "/static_root" # so that nginx can find the files in the shared volume, but this is what I am struggling with.
  
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-local.yml up -d

(PROJECTNAME files are all accessible in ../PROJECTNAME and to run any commands in a shell, make sure the stack is running:)

$ docker exec -it arches

# source ../ENV/bin/activate
(ENV) # cd ../PROJECTNAME
(ENV) # python manage.py ....
