basic steps performed:

• create a new VM with Ubuntu 12.04 - with openssh and mail installed
• remove the cl locale of /etc/apt/sources.list
• update and upgrade => important because of hardbleed bug
• shutdown + remove the iso from the VM
• copied the VM => basicUbuntu1204.zip

setting up GeoNode

• a listing of necessary packages is here: http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/tutorials/admin/install/custom_install.html#custom-install
• so we need to install
  • (i) apache2,
  • (ii) Java + Tomcat7,
  • (iii) postgresql (postgis only if we want to store the geodata locally),
  • (iv) python stuff for django
• install apache2 sudo apt-get install apache2
• install tomcat7 sudo apt-get install tomcat7
• install python sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
• to install postgresql is not really necessary, as postgres 9.1 will be also installed by geonode, and I am using for my data an external postgresql-postgis db. However, I want 9.3 so:

  see here about adding the repo: http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 pgadmin3 postgresql-contrib

  for doc see also: http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/tutorials/admin/install/install_postgresql.html#install-postgresql

• install GeoNode:

  add the geonode repo key: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geonode/release

  update the package list: sudo apt-get update

  install geonode:sudo apt-get install genode NB:this wil also install postgres9.1!

  sudo geonode-updateip 127.0.0.1

  geonode createsuperuser

  modify setting in /etc/geonode/local_settings.py and restart apache

  => now the geonode webpage should be running!

==>>> ToDo: check to what DB are user and dataset metadata added? => requires to modify hba_conf settings

• modify GeoNode styling:
  • change webpage colors and add cedeus logo

    create folders /etc/geonode/media/geonode/img/ and /etc/geonode/media/geonode/css/

    copy cedeus logo.png and cedeus base.css into its corresponding folder (may require chmod 777)

    perform sudo geonode collectstatic -v0

  • change welcome text for es/en/de

    blabla
