[ckan-discuss] Help to set up CKAN on CentOS

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi Iain,

Great to hear that you are starting to explore CKAN.

There are further community resources regarding installation on CentOS
on the GitHub wiki that might be useful:

https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/_pages

You might want to consider an automated deployment package to help you
run all the commands and manage tasks like the passwords you mention.

The CKAN team uses Ansible [1] internally, but other users from the
community have used Chef [2] and Puppet [3]. Search the mailing list
for examples of those.

Best,

Adrià
