Beacon verifier v2

This repository contains the new Beacon verifier v2.0, a software created with the main goal of validating beacon responses against the official GA4GH Beacon v2 specifications for its debugging and testing. The outcome of executing this tool will be a dateiled response with all the validations for each of your beacon endpoints explaining the possible errors encountered, if any.

Installation guide with docker

First of all, clone or download the repository to your computer:

git clone https://github.com/EGA-archive/beacon-verifier-v2.git

Add an .env file inside the folder verifierweb, with the next variables:

SECRET_KEY="your_django_secret_key"
OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID='your_client_id'
OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET='your_client_secret'

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND to modify the variable SECRET_KEY. To generate a safe Django SECRET_KEY and copy it to .env file, you can install python django package with pip install Django and generate yours with a script like this:

from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key  
get_random_secret_key()

To light up the container with beacon verifier v2, execute the next command inside the root folder (where docker-compose is located at):

docker-compose up -d --build

Once the container is up and running you can start using beacon verifier v2, congratulations!
