Tatami

Presentation

Tatami is an Open Source enterprise social network.

A publicly installed version of Tatami is provided by Ippon Technologies at : https://tatami.ippon.fr

Tatami is made with the following technologies :

HTML5, Backbone.js and Twitter Bootstrap
The Spring Framework
Apache Cassandra
Elastic Search

Tatami is developped by Ippon Technologies

Current build status:

Installation for developpers

5 minutes installation

Clone, fork or download the source code from this Github page
Install Maven 3
Run Cassandra from Maven : mvn cassandra:run
Run Jetty from Maven : mvn jetty:run
Connect to the application at http://127.0.0.1:8080

To create users, use the registration form. As we have not configured a SMTP server (you can configure it in src/main/resources/META-INF/tatami/tatami.properties - see below "installation for production use" for more options), the validation URL as well as the password will not be e-mailed to you, but you can see them in the log (look at the Jetty console output).

Using Tomcat instead of Jetty

If you want to use Tomcat instead of Jetty (which works better in development mode on Windows), just use :

Run Tomcat from Maven : mvn tomcat7:run

Maven tuning and troubleshooting

If you run into some Permgen or OutOfMemory errors, you can configure your Maven settings accordingly :

export MAVEN_OPTS="-XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m"

If you want to debug remotely the application with your IDE, set up your MAVEN_OPTS :

export MAVEN_OPTS="$MAVEN_OPTS -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n"

Cassandra troubleshooting

On Mac OS X, you should use JDK 6 and not JDK 7, see issue #281.

Installation for production use

Cassandra installation

Download Apache Cassandra
Install Cassandra : the application will work fine with just one node, but ideally you should have a cluster with at least 3 or 5 nodes
Cassandra is configured with its cassandra.yaml file : don't forget to backup your "data" and "commitlog" directories

Tatami installation

In order to use a stable version, use one of the available tags.

Tatami can be configured with the src/main/resources/META-INF/tatami/tatami.properties file. You can configure this file in 2 ways :

Edit the file in your own Tatami fork
Properties in this file are replaced at build time by Maven : you can set up your own Maven profile with your specific properties

Once Tatami is started, you will be able to check your properties at runtime in the Administration page.

To deploy Tatami :

Create the Tatami WAR file : mvn package
The WAR file will be called "root.war", as Tatami should be run as the root application (on the "/" Web context)
Deploy the WAR file on your favorite Java EE server
The WAR has been tested on Jetty 8 and Tomcat 7, and should work fine on all Java EE servers

Upgrading from a previous version

Upgrading is normally just a matter of using a newer version of the application.

Sometimes, you will need to update the Cassandra keyspace: upgrade scripts are available in the src/main/cql/upgrade directory.

Launching stress tests

Stress tests are done with Apache JMeter.

Launch Cassandra
Run Tatami from Maven with the stress-tests profile : mvn jetty:run -Pstress-tests
Launch JMeter
Run the src/test/jmeter/tatami-create-users.jmx script : it will create 200 normal users, which each has 200 follower users
Run the stress test : src/test/jmeter/tatami-stress-test.jmx

Launching functional tests

Functional tests are a work in progress, you do not have to run them in order to use the application.

Requirement : all components must run on localhost :

for LDAP authentication, the tests starts the LDAP server that the Tatami server will use
for fixture setup and assertions, the test connects directly to the local cassandra

Launching UI Tests from maven :

add this profile on your settings.xml :

<profile>
  <id>tatami</id>
  <activation>
    <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
  </activation>
  <properties>
    <webdriver.chrome.driver>C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe</webdriver.chrome.driver><!--optional-->
    <google.password>xxxx</google.password>
    <google.email>[email protected]</google.email>
  </properties>
</profile>

Run Maven with this command : mvn clean verify -Puitest

Launching UI Tests from maven with Chrome :

install ChromeDriver in your system
configure the property "webdriver.chrome.driver" in your settings pointing to your chrome driver install directory
add -Dgeb.env=chrome to the maven command above

Launching UI Tests from your IDE :

Enable a groovy plugin on your IDE
Activate maven profile "uitest" or add src/integration/* in your classpath
Run Tatami with Maven : mvn cassandra:delete cassandra:start jetty:run -Djetty.scanIntervalSeconds=0 -Puitest
Run Specs (in src\integration\java\fr\ippon\tatami\uitest) as Junit Tests from your IDE => you have to set adequate system properties to your running configurations (the same as those that are necessary in setting.xml for maven : see above)
