[Arches] Re: Signing in

[Pat Lurcock]

Hi,

After half a lifetime working as a government administrator in South 
Georgia in the south atlantic, where I slowly developed a strong interest 
in the cultural heritage (whaling, sealing, military, cemeteries) I am now 
back in the UK and want to develop an online register of the Island's 
Cultural Heritage sites as a public resource. Arches looks like the perfect 
tool for the job. It covers all the angles that I have learned are 
important for data management, is spatial, and free.

My background is quite IT strongish - I developed a lot of fishery and 
harbour management databases, learning by reverse-engineering Access and 
then MySQL databases to improve them. So I have set up MySQL servers, 
apache, Access, MySQL (with Access front end). Also self-taught web 
programming to develop my website documenting the island's cemeteries 
(http://www.cems.wildisland.gs)  first with a text editor then learning to 
use a CMS (Joomla). More recently I have started learning GIS stuff using 
QGIS, providing mapping and GPS support for a six-month rodent monitoring 
project on South Georgia.

So now I am learning again. Virtual machine on my windows laptop running 
Ubuntu - the Xenial version for Arches specifically. That was an uphill 
struggle but I think I am there now.

Now I am installing Arches. The first try failed and I am hoping some 
patient guru(s) might kindly guide me when I hit problems that I cannot 
easily solve. I am dealing with a whole raft of new (to me) technologies so 
there will be some very basic stuff that will have you rolling your eyes 
skywards.

It seems the install script is not quite perfect and I'd like to contribute 
by tweaking it in the light of my experience so that it will be a smoother 
job for the next person.

My aim is to have a working installation on the laptop by the end of the 
month. Then I can develop the actual application over the next few months 
when I will be at sea without Internet. Then next year I want to put it 
online, probably using AWS. More learning.

Out of the window? The south Devon coast. On a good day, the heritage coast 
of Dorset glows red in the distance. And just over the sea wall is a post 
that used to stretch a chain to keep the U-Boats out of Teignmouth.

Cheers all,
Pat

Left comments in both tickets.  I like these guides overall, my few comments 
notwithstanding -- you asked for feedback, not praise, so I focused on feedback 
:-).

Thanks, Adam!

Best regards,

[Arches] Re: Arches Repository Contribution Guidelines

[Vincent Meijer]

Looks good. If I had to comment, maybe these minor points:

- Creating a PR is easiest when you just go to your repository home page on 
Github after you pushed your branch and it will display a 'Create Pull 
Request' button for that specific branch. Easy!
- Explain the [ci skip] command in commit messages a bit more (Commit 
Message Format chapter)

Best,
Vincent

Re: [Arches] Re: Hosting Arches on Azure as a Web App for Containers

[Vincent Meijer]

Sounds familiar, the loading of static files took a long time. Once they 
are cached everything is fine, but an initial page load of 2 minutes was a 
bit much in my opinion :)
Azure CDN might help with that.

Anyway, good luck and keep us posted!
