Coughvid

Simple web application for the collection of sound records of cough from patients with Covid-19.

This website has been created with hugo+syna. The source project for the static part of the web is the syna-epfl folder. Once compiled, this is the "public" folder, that has been updated in the following way:

• Add the cgi-bin folder for the ubuntu script.
• Add the js folder and the app, jquery and progressbar sources.
• Add the server SSL keys: key.pem and cert.pem
• Modify index.html to assign an id to the Record button, add the #progressBar and #thanks components, and the corresponding minor CSS tweaks. Also, include the required js files.

Deployment instructions on coughvid.epfl.ch

• All files and folders in the repository have to be copied to /var/www/html/ (except .git, of course).
• The upload.py cgi script has to be copied to /var/www/cgi-bin/, with execution permissions.
• Update upload.py to set DB_PATH = '/data/coughvid_records', and remove cgitb.
• The problems we found with SELinux so far were:
  • Permission for running CGI scripts. Make sure that there is the appropriate rule in SELinux for the /var/www/cgi-bin/ folder, with the command: $ semanage fcontext --list | grep cgi-bin
    • /var/www/cgi-bin(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0
  • If still not working, $ restorecon -Rv /var/www/**cgi**-bin/.
  • Add a rule in SELinux to give write permissions in the database folder:
    • $ semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/data/coughvid_records(/.*)?"
    • $ restorecon -Rv /data/coughvid_records/
