Platform Team/Server Kit/sugar-server

Summary

The core Sugar Server Kit component.

The singular program requires only Python, and obvious dependencies like coreutils, to allow all its services to function properly. It provides basic sugar related services, and uses one CLI tool to manage all its functionality.

Services

• Required services:
  • Student identification
• Optional services:
  • XO anti-thief support
  • Entire Journal backup/restore

Requires

• bios-crypto
  bios-crypto client utilities are being used in anti-thief support and should be installed only if sign service is being used.
• python-mysql
  If the rest of school server applications use MySql, it might be useful to keep sugar-server data in MySql as well. Otherwise plain text file will be used.
