Database
Put /server/awfy-server.config in /etc, and edit it to point at your
database. Afterwards just run php migrate.php to create the tables and run
the migrations. (Note: sometimes the database layout changes a bit. After
pulling it is recommanded to run php migrate.php again. That will incremental
adjust the database to the new layout, transforming existing entries.)
Data Collector
Drop website/UPDATE.PHP and website/internals.php somewhere, and rename
UPDATE.PHP to something secret. Make sure you don't have directory listings
enabled.

Data Processor
Put awfy-server.config in /etc, and edit it to point at your database and
website/data folder. Then put update.py in a cronjob. It will dump files
where appropriate. AWFY.com does this every 15min. It is not safe to run two
instance at once. A sample wrapper script is provided as run-update.sh.
update.py generates various JSON files:
- "raw" and "metadata" files cache database queries from run to run, so we don't have to make expensive database queries.
- "aggregate" files are used for the front page.
- "condensed" files are used for one level of zooming, so users don't have to download the raw data set right away.
The metadata and raw JSON files are updated as needed. The aggregate and condensed files are always regenerated from the raw data.
There is also a monitor.py script provided in the server folder. You can run
this regularly to send e-mails for benchmarking machines that haven't sent
results in a certain amount of time (this time is specified in
awfy-server.config). It will send e-mail through the local SMTP server, using
the "contact" field for each machine in the database. This field should be a
comma-delimited list of e-mail addresses (i.e. "egg@yam.com,bob@egg.com").
Website
Put the files somewhere. Currently php is needed for data.php, which pulls the
data from the correct location. You just need to update config file
(/etc/awfy-server.config) to refer the 'data' folder that contains the
json/js files dumped by update.py.
Don't forget to replace the default machine number in website/awfy.js, which is the one that will show up in the first place. Note that AWFY's flot is slightly modified, so it might not work to just replace it with upstream flot.
