Usage

To generate your configuration:

1. Create an auth.yaml and a config.yaml

You can find examples in src/test/resources/taiga-test in this repository. Please check the def auth? and def config? definitions in src/main/cljc/dda/c4k_taiga/taiga.cljc for required and optional values. When you plan to use the dda_backup solution, you also need the keys:

• aws-access-key-id: "AWS_KEY_ID"
• aws-secret-access-key: "AWS_KEY_SECRET"
• restic-password: ""

in your auth.yaml

and

• restic-repository: "repo-path"

in your config.yaml.

2. install jarwrapper

sudo apt install jarwrapper # on debian derivatives

3. execute the c4k-taiga-standalone.jar

java -jar c4k-taiga-standalone.jar config.yaml auth.yaml

To set up you need:

• A working DNS route to the FQDN of your taiga installation
• A kubernetes cluster provisioned by provs
• The .yaml file generated by c4k-taiga-standalone.jar

Apply this file on your cluster with kubectl apply -f application.yaml.
Done.

Setup

python manage.py createsuperuser --noinput

Administration

You can access the administration of the taiga installation via: your.taiga.url/admin/

In order to login, you first have to create a superuser.

1. Connect to taiga-back pod: kubectl exec -it taiga-back-deployment-... -- bash
2. source /opt/venv/bin/activate && python manage.py createsuperuser --noinput

Backup

You need some form of cloud storage like AWS buckets and the respective access credentials to make the backups work correctly.

For a working backup you need to save Taiga DB & Taiga Media as described here: https://docs.taiga.io/backup-and-restore.html

For further instruction please refer to BackupAndRestore.md in doc/ in this repository.
