installing booktype on cent os 6.7 with postgresql
Hi Aneesh, Glad to hear you fixed your server! On CentOS the default should be Python 2.6, as that is what the system needs to run. The trick here is to use two versions of Python in parallel, so that installed programs like Booktype can use 2.7. I…

installing booktype on cent os 6.7 with postgresql
Hi Aneesh, I'm sorry that you're having trouble. Your CentOS system relies on Python 2.6 to perform basic functions, including yum. Please show the output of: ls -l /usr/bin/python I'm guessing that by removing the python2.6 binar…

installing booktype on cent os 6.7 with postgresql
Hi Aneesh, Booktype requires Python 2.7 or above. Please see the tutorial at https://www.atlantic.net/community/howto/install-python-2-7-centos-anaconda/ If you're not comfortable with upgrading your Python version, I'd recommend conside…

Cover image prints twice?
Hi Quinn, Unless you have the cover image also in Chapter 1, it sounds like there is some duplication in your screen PDF converter script or CSS. Have you made any modifications there? Are you using the Academic theme or custom styles? The PDF doe…

installing booktype on cent os 6.7 with postgresql
Hi Aneesh, If you don't have argparse as standard, I'm wondering if you are running something older than Python 2.7. Please post the output of the command: python --versionCheers! Daniel

installing booktype on cent os 6.7 with postgresql
Hi Aneesh, Make sure you're in the directory containing the scripts, for example /usr/local/src/booktype/scripts/if you are following the instructions in the user manual, linked above. Otherwise you will have to call the script from a relativ…

installing booktype on cent os 6.7 with postgresql
Hi Aneesh, Debian and Ubuntu package names are shown, but the rest of the instructions are generic for GNU/Linux. What happens when you enter the commands as shown in my post above? By the way, if you want to install a production server, you can u…

Hi Aneesh, That wiki page is out of date, sorry. Please follow the official manual chapter http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-20-for-authors-and-publishers/installation-on-gnulinux/ If you look in the Booktype/requirements directory, you wi…

Uninstall booktype and re-install
Hi Joern, It sounds like you have used the .deb package installation. Rather than re-install, let's try to find out what is wrong first. Do you have a file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/booktype-instance1.conf ? If so, please post the contents h…

Debian Package does not exist?
Hi Andy, the Debian/Ubuntu package is available now, I have added screenshots to the chapter linked above. For development, you are better off using git and the manual installation method, as it is easier to contribute back improvements that way, i…

Deploying booktype as docker container
That's right, we don't document the sqlite installation as it is not useful for production installs. There are enough installation options already! The data directory for each instance is created by default under the instance path, for ex…

Why not iframe in Booktype 2.0?
Hi, Booktype does not explicitly support content loaded from third party sites, because we don't know if an e-reader device is online or not when it is viewing the content (an EPUB, for example). There is also the issue that a third-party site …

Deploying booktype as docker container
Hi Olaf, Nice work! The first observation I would make is that you don't need to install sqlite3 in https://github.com/OlafRadicke/booktype_with_docker/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile if you are initialising a Booktype instance with postgres. T…

Booktype 2.0 -- can't export...problem with the json data?
Have you looked in the web server error log for any tell-tale lines at the same time as the export, for example under /var/log/apache2/ ? Please paste any relevant lines here.

Hi Quinn, I have not personally experienced this error and I don't recall it being reported either. We'll do our best to get it figured out!

Current version in github
Hi James, the -6 part refers to the increment of the Debian packaging, the upstream version is 2.5.1 which corresponds to the 2.5.x branch on GitHub as you suggest, but an older tag. As I recall, it was https://github.com/sourcefabric/airtime/releas…

Debian 8
Hi Nolan, Once you have 2.5.2.1 manually installed and the services have started up, you should experience fewer bugs relative to 2.5.1, as there have been many fixes in the meantime. If you aren't sure about the migration, I would recommend t…

Sorry, I've not used Echoprint personally, only read about it. For an annotation interface, you might like to start with the existing waveform cuepoint editor.

Airtime Eh (Canadian Version) High Level Overview
Hi Dominique, for the CDJ and vinyl DJs, a certain amount of manual annotation is going to be inevitable, even if only to correct the data returned by Echoprint etc. We have talked about making that easier by having a cue point marker button that th…

Airtime Eh (Canadian Version) High Level Overview
Hi Dominique, The approach of using one file and multiple sets of cue points in Airtime is the alternative I had in mind, please let us know how that goes. The limitation of splitting files on cue points is that if your DJs do any mixing or talking…

Airtime Eh (Canadian Version) High Level Overview
Hi Dominique, thanks for sharing that document. There is no really clean way to unmix compiled tracks automatically, so if you want split tracks you will either have to leave some silence between tracks or have the DJ build the show in Airtime from …

Streaming statistics dashboard for Icecast
Hi James, once you have the raw log imported into Piwik it should be possible to display that data any way you want, with a little programming. See http://piwik.org/blog/2014/09/create-widget-introducing-piwik-platform/ for the basics of dashboard w…

Streaming statistics dashboard for Icecast
Hi James, for this to work, you need to import the raw Icecast log into Piwik. This is not connected to any web page logging. See 'Importing an Icecast log file' on http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/icecast-stati…
