The purpose of the script is to install KoBoToolbox in minutes without messing with configuration files.
It prompts the user to answer some questions to create configuration files automatically and to start docker containers based on kobo-docker.

Warning

If you have already installed KoBoToolbox with kobo-docker prior March 2019, databases are not compatible and and docker images (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) are not the same.
KoBoInstall won't be able to start the app.

Usage

$kobo-install> python run.py

First time the command is executed, setup will be launched.
Subsequent executions will launch docker containers directly.

Rebuild configuration:
$kobo-install> python run.py --setup

Get info:
$kobo-install> python run.py --info

Get docker logs:
$kobo-install> python run.py --logs

Upgrade KoBoToolbox:
$kobo-install> python run.py --upgrade

Stop KoBoToolbox:
$kobo-install> python run.py --stop

Get help:
$kobo-install> python run.py --help

Get version:
$kobo-install> python run.py --version

Build kpi and kobocat (dev mode):
$kobo-install> python run.py --build

Be aware, this utility is a beta release and may still have bugs.

User can choose between 2 types of installations:

• Workstation: KoBoToolbox doesn't need to be accessible from anywhere except the computer where it's installed. No DNS needed

¹⁾ HTTPS certificates must be installed on a Reverse Proxy. KoBoInstall can install one and use Let's Encrypt to generate certificates thanks to nginx-certbot project

²⁾ Custom settings are provided by PostgreSQL Configuration Tool API

ℹ Intercom App ID must now be configured through "Per user settings" in the Django admin interface of KPI.
