README
# DigiVol [](https://travis-ci.org/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/volunteer-portal)
The [Atlas of Living Australia], in collaboration with the [Australian Museum], developed [DigiVol]
to harness the power of online volunteers (also known as crowdsourcing) to digitise biodiversity data that is locked
up in biodiversity collections, field notebooks and survey sheets.
## Running
The ansible inventories are currently out of date. You can run DigiVol manually by using gradle to build:
```bash
./gradlew assemble
java -jar build/libs/volunteer-portal-*.war
open http://devt.ala.org.au:8080/
```
~~To run up a vagrant instance of DigiVol you can use the volunteer_portal_instance ansible playbook from the
[AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install] repository. This will deploy a pre-compiled version from the ALA Maven repository.~~
~~*NOTE: Both [vagrant] and [ansible] must be installed first.*~~
~~Then setup the VM and run the playbook:~~
```bash
git clone https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-install.git
cd ala-install/vagrant/ubuntu-trusty
vagrant up
cd ../../ansible
ansible-playbook -i inventories/vagrant --user vagrant --private-key ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key --sudo volunteer-portal.yml
```
~~Deploying to a server can be done similarly, though you will need to define an ansible inventory first.~~
## Contributing
DigiVol is a [Grails] v5.3 based web application. It requires [PostgreSQL] v15 for data storage. Development follows the
[git flow] workflow.
For git flow operations you may like to use the `git-flow` command line tools. Either install [Atlassian SourceTree]
which bundles its own version or install them via:
```bash
# OS X
brew install git-flow
# Ubuntu
apt-get install git-flow
```
