Installing pagure's EventSource server

Eventsource or Server Sent Events are messages sent from a server to a web browser. It allows one to refresh a page "live", ie, without the need to reload it entirely.

Configure your system

The eventsource server is easy to set-up.

  • Install the required dependencies
python-redis
python-trollius
python-trollius-redis

Note

We ship a systemd unit file for pagure_milter but we welcome patches for scripts for other init systems.

  • Install the files of the SSE server as follow:
<colgroup> </colgroup>
Source Destination
pagure-ev/pagure_stream_server.py /usr/libexec/pagure-ev/pagure_stream_server.py
pagure-ev/pagure_ev.service /etc/systemd/system/pagure_ev.service

The first file is the script of the SSE server itself.

The second file is the systemd service file.

  • Finally, activate the service and ensure it's started upon boot:
systemctl enable redis
systemctl start redis
systemctl enable pagure_ev
systemctl start pagure_ev
