Merge from the diet branch.

  * refactored ./bin/genenetwork2 and /etc/default_settings
    - better detection of Guix
    - removed unused parameters, such as GEMMA_RESULT_PATH and TEMP_TRAITS
    - removing some default settings, such as PYLMM_COMMAND
    - rename some settings, such as SQL_URI and LOG_SQL_ALCHEMY
    - added GUIX_JS_PATH for JS modules
  * Added documentation on installing binary GN2
  * Updated Twitter board to latest version in Guix - it had broken
  * Updated many tools in the latest Guix profile

 * Introduction
 
 Large system deployments tend to get very complex. In this document we
 explain the GeneNetwork deployment system which is based on GNU Guix
-(see Pjotr's [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/README.md][Guix-notes]]).
+(see Pjotr's [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/README.md][Guix-notes]] and the main [[README.org]] doc).
 
-* Binary deployment
+* Binary deployment through GNU Guix
+** Quick installation recipe
 
-NYA (will go to README)
+This is a recipe for quick and dirty installation of GN2. For
+convenience everything is installed as root, though in reality only
+GNU Guix has to be installed as root. I tested this recipe on a fresh
+install of Debian 8.3.0 (in KVM) though it should work on any modern
+Linux distribution (including CentOS).
+
+
+Note that GN2 consists of an approx. 5 GB installation including
+database. If you use a virtual machine we recommend to use at least
+double.
+
+** Step 1: Install GNU Guix
+
+Fetch the GNU Guix binary from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/][here]] (middle panel) and follow
+[[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html][instructions]]. Essentially, download and unpack the tar ball (which
+creates directories in /gnu and /var/guix), add build users and group
+(Guix builds software as unpriviliged users) and run the Guix daemon
+after fixing the paths (also known as the 'profile').
+
+Once you have succeeded, you have to [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#set-the-key][set the key]] (getting permission
+to download binaries from the GNU server) and you should be able to
+install the hello package using binary packages (no building)
+
+#+begin_src bash
+export PATH=~/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH
+guix pull
+guix package -i hello --dry-run
+#+end_src
+
+Which should show something like
+
+: The following files would be downloaded:
+:   /gnu/store/zby49aqfbd9w9br4l52mvb3y6f9vfv22-hello-2.10
+:   ...
+#+end_src
+
+means binary installs.  The actual installation command of 'hello' is
+
+#+begin_src bash
+guix package -i hello
+hello
+  Hello, world!
+#+end_src
+
+If you actually see things building it means that Guix is not yet
+properly installed and up-to-date, i.e., the key is missing or you
+need to do a 'guix pull'. Press Ctrl-C to interrupt.
+
+If you need more help we have another writeup in [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#binary-installation][guix-notes]]. To get
+rid of the locale warning see [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#set-locale][set-locale]].
+
+** Step 2: Checkout the GN2 git repositories
+
+To fixate the software dependency graph GN2 uses git repositories of
+Guix packages. First install git if it is missing
+
+#+begin_src bash
+guix package -i git
+export GIT_SSL_CAINFO=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
+#+end_src
+
+check out the git repositories (gn-deploy branch)
+
+#+begin_src bash
+cd ~
+mkdir genenetwork
+cd genenetwork
+git clone --branch gn-deploy https://github.com/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics
+git clone --branch gn-deploy --recursive https://github.com/genenetwork/guix guix-gn-deploy
+cd guix-gn-deploy
+#+end_src bash
+
+To test whether this is working try:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+#+end_src bash
+
+** Step 3: Authorize the GN Guix server
+
+GN2 has its own GNU Guix binary distribution server. To trust it you have
+to add the following key
+
+#+begin_src scheme
+(public-key
+ (ecc
+  (curve Ed25519)
+  (q #11217788B41ADC8D5B8E71BD87EF699C65312EC387752899FE9C888856F5C769#)
+ )
+)
+#+end_src
+
+by pasting it into the command
+
+#+begin_src bash
+guix archive --authorize
+#+end_src
+
+and hit Ctrl-D.
+
+Now you can use the substitute server to install GN2 binaries.
+
+** Step 4: Install and run GN2
+
+Since this is a quick and dirty install we are going to override the
+GNU Guix package path by pointing the package path to our repository:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+rm /root/.config/guix/latest
+ln -s ~/genenetwork/guix-gn-deploy/ /root/.config/guix/latest
+#+end_src
+
+Now check whether you can find the GN2 package with
+
+#+begin_src bash
+env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics/ guix package -A genenetwork2
+  genenetwork2    2.0-a8fcff4     out     gn/packages/genenetwork.scm:144:2
+#+end_src
+
+(ignore the source file newer then ... messages, this is caused by the
+/root/.config/guix/latest override).
+
+And install with
+
+#+begin_src bash
+env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics/ \
+  guix package -i genenetwork2 \
+  --substitute-urls="http://guix.genenetwork.org"
+#+end_src
+
+Note: the order of the substitute url's may make a difference in speed
+(put the one first that is fastest for your location and time of day).
+
+Note: if your system starts building or gives an error it may well be
+Step 3 did not succeed. The installation should actually be smooth at
+this point and only do binary installs (no compiling).
+
+After installation you should be able to run genenetwork2 after updating
+the Guix suggested environment vars. Check the output of
+
+#+begin_src bash
+guix package --search-paths
+export PYTHONPATH="/root/.guix-profile/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
+export R_LIBS_SITE="/root/.guix-profile/site-library/"
+#+end_src
+
+and copy-paste the listed exports into the terminal before running:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+genenetwork2
+#+end_src
+
+It will complain that the database is missing. See the next section on
+running MySQL server for downloading and installing a MySQL GN2
+database. After installing the database restart genenetwork2 and point
+your browser at [[http://localhost:5003/]].
+
+End of the GN2 installation recipe!

+
+
+* Source deployment
+
+This section gives a more elaborate instruction for installing GN2
+from source.
+
+First execute above 4 steps:
+
+   - [[#step-1-install-gnu-guix][Step 1: Install GNU Guix]]
+   - [[#step-2-checkout-the-gn2-git-repositories][Step 2: Checkout the GN2 git repositories]]
+   - [[#step-3-authorize-the-gn-guix-server][Step 3: Authorize the GN Guix server]]
+   - [[#step-4-install-and-run-gn2-][Step 4: Install and run GN2 ]]
+
+
+** Run your own copy of GN2
+
+At some point you may want to fix the source code. Assuming you have
+Guix and Genenetwork2 installed (as described above) clone the GN2
+repository from https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2.
+
+Copy-paste the paths into your terminal (mainly so PYTHON_PATH and
+R_LIBS_SITE are set) from the information given by guix:
+
+: guix package --search-paths
+
+Inside the repository:
+
+: cd genenetwork2
+: ./bin/genenetwork2
+
+Will fire up your local repo http://localhost:5003/ using the
+settings in ./etc/default_settings.py. These settings may
+not reflect your system. To override settings create your own from a copy of
+default_settings.py and pass it into GN2 with
+
+: ./bin/genenetwork2 $HOME/my_settings.py
+
+and everything *should* work (note the full path to the settings
+file). This way we develop against the exact same dependency graph of
+software.
+
+If something is not working, take a hint from the settings file
+that comes in the Guix installation. It sits in something like
+
+: cat ~/.guix-profile/lib/python2.7/site-packages/genenetwork2-2.0-py2.7.egg/etc/default_settings.py
+
+** Set up nginx port forwarding
+
+nginx can be used as a reverse proxy for GN2. For example, we want to
+expose GN2 on port 80 while it is running on port 5003. Essentially
+the configuration looks like
+
+#+begin_src js
+    server {
+        listen 80;
+        server_name test-gn2.genenetwork.org;
+        access_log  logs/test-gn2.access.log;
+
+        proxy_connect_timeout       3000;
+        proxy_send_timeout          3000;
+        proxy_read_timeout          3000;
+        send_timeout                3000;
+
+        location / {
+            proxy_set_header   Host      $http_host;
+            proxy_set_header   Connection keep-alive;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
+            proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:5003;
+        }
+}
+#+end_src js
+
+Install the nginx webserver (as root)
+
+: guix package -i nginx
+
+The nginx example configuration examples can be found in the Guix
+store through
+
+: ls -l /root/.guix-profile/sbin/nginx
+: lrwxrwxrwx 3 root guixbuild 66 Dec 31  1969 /root/.guix-profile/sbin/nginx -> /gnu/store/g0wrcl5z27rmk5b52rldzvk1bzzbnz2l-nginx-1.8.1/sbin/nginx
+
+Use that path
+
+: ls /gnu/store/g0wrcl5z27rmk5b52rldzvk1bzzbnz2l-nginx-1.8.1/share/nginx/conf/
+:   fastcgi.conf            koi-win             scgi_params
+:   fastcgi.conf.default    mime.types          scgi_params.default
+:   fastcgi_params          mime.types.default  uwsgi_params
+:   fastcgi_params.default  nginx.conf          uwsgi_params.default
+:   koi-utf                 nginx.conf.default  win-utf
+
+And copy any relevant files to /etc/nginx.  A configuration file for
+GeneNetwork (reverse proxy) port forwarding can be found in the source
+repository under ./etc/nginx-genenetwork.conf. Copy this file to /etc
+(still as root)
+: cp ./etc/nginx-genenetwork.conf /etc/nginx/
+
+Make dirs
+
+: mkdir -p /var/spool/nginx/logs
+
+Add users
+
+: adduser nobody ; addgroup nobody
+
+Run nginx
+
+: /root/.guix-profile/sbin/nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx-genenetwork.conf -p /var/spool/nginx
+
+* Source deployment and other information on reproducibility
+
+See the document [[GUIX-Reproducible-from-source.org]].
+
+** Update to recent guix
+
+We now compile Guix from scratch.
+
+Create, install and run a recent version of the guix-daemon by
+compiling the guix repository you have installed with git in
+step 2. Follow [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#building-gnu-guix-from-source-using-guix][these]] steps carefully after
+
+: cd ~/genenetwork/guix-gn-deploy
+
+Make sure to restart the guix daemon and run guix client from this
+directory.
+
+** Install GN2
+
+Reinstall genenetwork2 using the new tree
+
+#+begin_src bash
+env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics/ ./pre-inst-env guix package -i genenetwork2 --substitute-urls="http://guix.genenetwork.org https://mirror.guixsd.org"
+#+end_src bash
+
+Note the use of ./pre-inst-env here!
+
+Actually, it should be the same installation as in step 4, so nothing
+gets downloaded.
+
+** Run GN2
+
+Make a note of the paths with
+
+#+begin_src bash
+./pre-inst-env guix package --search-paths
+#+end_src bash
+
+or this should also work if guix is installed
+
+#+begin_src bash
+guix package --search-paths
+#+end_src bash
+
+After setting the paths for the server
+
+#+begin_src bash
+export PATH=~/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH
+export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
+export R_LIBS_SITE="$HOME/.guix-profile/site-library/"
+export GUIX_GTK3_PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-3.0"
+export GI_TYPELIB_PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/girepository-1.0"
+export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$HOME/.guix-profile/share"
+export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gio/modules"
+#+end_src bash
+
+run the main script (in ~/.guix-profile/bin)
+
+#+begin_src bash
+genenetwork2
+#+end_src bash
+
+will start the default server which listens on port 5003, i.e.,
+http://localhost:5003/.
+
+OK, we are where we were before with step 4. Only difference is that we
+used our own compiled guix server.

 * Introduction
 
-If you want to understand the architecture of GN2 read
-[[Architecture.org]].  The rest of this document is mostly on deployment
-of GN2.
-
 Large system deployments can get very [[http://biogems.info/contrib/genenetwork/gn2.svg ][complex]]. In this document we
 explain the GeneNetwork version 2 (GN2) reproducible deployment system
 which is based on GNU Guix (see also [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/README.md][Guix-notes]]). The Guix

 For a full view of runtime dependencies as defined by GNU Guix, see
-the [[#gn2-dependency-graph][GN2 Dependency Graph]].
-
-* Quick installation recipe
-
-This is a recipe for quick and dirty installation of GN2. For
-convenience everything is installed as root, though in reality only
-GNU Guix has to be installed as root. I tested this recipe on a fresh
-install of Debian 8.3.0 (in KVM) though it should work on any modern
-Linux distribution (including CentOS). For more elaborate installation
-instructions see [[#source-deployment][Source deployment]].
-
-Note that GN2 consists of an approx. 5 GB installation including
-database. If you use a virtual machine we recommend to use at least
-double.
-
-** Step 1: Install GNU Guix
-
-Fetch the GNU Guix binary from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/][here]] (middle panel) and follow
-[[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html][instructions]]. Essentially, download and unpack the tar ball (which
-creates directories in /gnu and /var/guix), add build users and group
-(Guix builds software as unpriviliged users) and run the Guix daemon
-after fixing the paths (also known as the 'profile').
-
-Once you have succeeded, you have to [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#set-the-key][set the key]] (getting permission
-to download binaries from the GNU server) and you should be able to
-install the hello package using binary packages (no building)
-
-#+begin_src bash
-export PATH=~/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH
-guix pull
-guix package -i hello --dry-run
-#+end_src
-
-Which should show something like
-
-: The following files would be downloaded:
-:   /gnu/store/zby49aqfbd9w9br4l52mvb3y6f9vfv22-hello-2.10
-:   ...
-#+end_src
-
-means binary installs.  The actual installation command of 'hello' is
-
-#+begin_src bash
-guix package -i hello
-hello
-  Hello, world!
-#+end_src
-
-If you actually see things building it means that Guix is not yet
-properly installed and up-to-date, i.e., the key is missing or you
-need to do a 'guix pull'. Press Ctrl-C to interrupt.
-
-If you need more help we have another writeup in [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#binary-installation][guix-notes]]. To get
-rid of the locale warning see [[https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#set-locale][set-locale]].
-
-** Step 2: Checkout the GN2 git repositories
+an example of the [[#gn2-dependency-graph][GN2 Dependency Graph]].
 
-To fixate the software dependency graph GN2 uses git repositories of
-Guix packages. First install git if it is missing
+* Install
 
-#+begin_src bash
-guix package -i git
-export GIT_SSL_CAINFO=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
-#+end_src
+The quickest way to install GN2 is by using a binary installation
+(tarball or Docker image).  These installations are bundled by GNU
+Guix and include all dependencies. You can install GeneNetwork on most
+Linux distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and CentOS,
+provided you have administrator privileges (root). The alternative is
+a Docker installation.
 
-check out the git repositories (gn-deploy branch)
+** Tarball
 
-#+begin_src bash
-cd ~
-mkdir genenetwork
-cd genenetwork
-git clone --branch gn-deploy https://github.com/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics
-git clone --branch gn-deploy --recursive https://github.com/genenetwork/guix guix-gn-deploy
-cd guix-gn-deploy
-#+end_src bash
+Download the ~800Mb tarball from
+[[http://files.genenetwork.org/software/binary_tarball/]]. Validate the checksum and
+unpack to root, for example
 
-To test whether this is working try:
+: tar xvzf genenetwork2-2.10rc3-1538ffd-tarball-pack.tar.gz
+: mv /gnu /
+: mv /opt/genenetwork2 /opt/
 
-#+begin_src bash
-#+end_src bash
+Now you shoud be able to start the server with
 
+: /opt/genenetwork2/bin/genenetwork2
 
-** Step 3: Authorize the GN Guix server
+When the server stops with a MySQL error [[#run-mysql-server][Run MySQL server]]
+and set SQL_URI to point at it. For example:
 
-GN2 has its own GNU Guix binary distribution server. To trust it you have
-to add the following key
+: export SQL_URI=mysql://gn2:mysql_password@127.0.0.1/db_webqtl_s
 
-#+begin_src scheme
-(public-key
- (ecc
-  (curve Ed25519)
-  (q #11217788B41ADC8D5B8E71BD87EF699C65312EC387752899FE9C888856F5C769#)
- )
-)
-#+end_src
+See also [[#mysql-cant-connect-server-through-socket-error][Mysql can't connect server through socket ERROR]].
 
-by pasting it into the command
+** Docker
 
-#+begin_src bash
-guix archive --authorize
-#+end_src
+Docker images are also available through
+[[http://files.genenetwork.org/software/]]. Validate the checksum and run
+with [[https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/load/][Docker load]].
 
-and hit Ctrl-D.
+** With source
 
-Now you can use the substitute server to install GN2 binaries.
+For more elaborate installation instructions on deploying GeneNetwork from
+source see [[#source-deployment][Source deployment]].
 
-** Step 4: Install and run GN2
+* Running GN2
 
-Since this is a quick and dirty install we are going to override the
-GNU Guix package path by pointing the package path to our repository:
+Default settings for GN2 are listed in a file called
+[[../etc/default_settings.py][default_settings.py]]. You can copy this file and pass it as a new
+parameter to the genenetwork2 command, e.g.
 
-#+begin_src bash
-rm /root/.config/guix/latest
-ln -s ~/genenetwork/guix-gn-deploy/ /root/.config/guix/latest
-#+end_src
+: genenetwork2 mysettings.py
 
-Now check whether you can find the GN2 package with
+or you can set environment variables to override individual parameters, e.g.
 
-#+begin_src bash
-env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics/ guix package -A genenetwork2
-  genenetwork2    2.0-a8fcff4     out     gn/packages/genenetwork.scm:144:2
-#+end_src
-
-(ignore the source file newer then ... messages, this is caused by the
-/root/.config/guix/latest override).
+: env SERVER_PORT=5004 SQL_URI=mysql://user:pwd@dbhostname/db_webqtl genenetwork2
 
-And install with
+the debug and logging switches can be particularly useful when
+developing GN2.
 
-#+begin_src bash
-env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics/ \
-  guix package -i genenetwork2 \
-  --substitute-urls="http://guix.genenetwork.org"
-#+end_src
-
-Note: the order of the substitute url's may make a difference in speed
-(put the one first that is fastest for your location and time of day).
-
-Note: if your system starts building or gives an error it may well be
-Step 3 did not succeed. The installation should actually be smooth at
-this point and only do binary installs (no compiling).
-
-After installation you should be able to run genenetwork2 after updating
-the Guix suggested environment vars. Check the output of
-
-#+begin_src bash
-guix package --search-paths
-export PYTHONPATH="/root/.guix-profile/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
-export R_LIBS_SITE="/root/.guix-profile/site-library/"

-** Run your own copy of GN2
-
-At some point you may want to fix the source code. Assuming you have
-Guix and Genenetwork2 installed (as described above) clone the GN2
-repository from https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2.
-
-Copy-paste the paths into your terminal (mainly so PYTHON_PATH and
-R_LIBS_SITE are set) from the information given by guix:

-: guix package --search-paths
-
-Inside the repository:

-
-: ./bin/genenetwork2 $HOME/my_settings.py
-
-and everything *should* work (note the full path to the settings
