Cannot install Graphite 1.1.5 in virtualenv

[pszafer]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Graphite on Alpine Linux in Virtualenv, tried to follow dockerfile, documentation but always end up with same error...

This is current Ansible code of installation which I try:

---

- name: Install deps
  apk:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    state: latest
    update_cache: yes
  loop:
    - nginx
    - cairo
    - librrd
    - memcached
    - nodejs
    - npm
    - py3-pyldap
    - runit
    - sqlite
    - expect
    - alpine-sdk
    - git
    - libffi-dev
    - pkgconfig
    - py3-cairo
    - py3-pip
    - py3-pyldap
    - py3-virtualenv
    - py-rrd
    - python3-dev
    - rrdtool-dev
    - wget
  when: ansible_distribution == 'Alpine'

- name: Upgrade PIP
  pip:
    name: pip
    state: latest

- name: Is /opt/graphite exists
  stat:
    path: /opt/graphite
  register: virtualenvexists
- name: Manually create the initial virtualenv
  command: python3 -m venv /opt/graphite
  when: not virtualenvexists.stat.exists

- name: Install graphite deps
  pip:
    virtualenv: /opt/graphite
    name: "{{ item }}"
    state: latest
  loop:
    - django==1.11.15
    - django-statsd-mozilla
    - fadvise
    - gunicorn
    - msgpack-python
    - redis
    - rrdtool
    - https://github.com/graphite-project/whisper/tarball/1.1.5
    - https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon/tarball/1.1.5
    - http://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web/tarball/1.1.5

and then I try to run (tried to make config, without configs etc.)

PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/webapp /opt/graphite/bin/django-admin.py collectstatic --noinput --settings=graphite.settings

and it throw error:

Could not import graphite.local_settings, using defaults!

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/graphite/lib/python3.6/storage/log/webapp/info.log'

I made symlink to storage in lib/python3.6, but then it is lookiing for webapp in lib/python3.6/site-packages. Where am I making a mistake?
Tried to installed already with pip 19.0.1 and pip 10.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/graphite/lib/python3.6/storage/log/webapp/info.log'

have you tried creating that directory? That should fix it.

That said, your GRAPHITE_ROOT seems a bit strange, just set it to /opt/graphite in local_settings.py

Don't know what was wrong then. I rewrote my role and it is working now.
If you want you can copy it to your docs, maybe it will help somebody to have graphite working in a few minutes.
