Managing Environment

An environment is a Decidim infrastructure, hosted on Jelastic. Our model is basically:

• An environment model has all the data related to infrastructure
• An instance model has all the data related to decidim configurations

Parked environments

A parked environment is an environment that has been mounted, and is attached to no instance. You can filter in your strapi administration the parked environments with the following filters:

• instance is null
• mounted is true

Park a new environment

To park new environment, you can click on the “Create new entry” under the Environment model. You don’t need to change anything, just save a new empty environment.

Fast and slow installation

Our installation should go fast when an environment is available, and slow when none is available. To reproduce bugs on fast or slow installation, you need to administrate the environments:

• for slow installation: you can delete all the parked environments in the strapi interface, the jelastic infrastructure will delete also the environment.
• for fast installation: you can create a few new empty environment and wait them to update to “parked”. The park process can take up to 1h.
