External JS/CSS libs via CDNs where possible #231
Description
GHC uses several common external JS/CSS libs like Leaflet. These libs are downloaded and assembled during build time via paver setup. For several reasons it is more optimal to use hosted CDN-versions of these libs:
- in general faster loading (optimized CDNs, multiple origins)
- less complex build, also in case of partial failures
- easier to move to PyPi
- no silent failures in Docker builds
For the latter it appeared today some libs (select2 and Leaflet) were missing in the Docker image running https://demo.geohealthcheck.org. Inspecting the Build on Docker Hub revealed:
---> pavement.setup
mkdir path('/GeoHealthCheck/instance')
mkdir path('/GeoHealthCheck/instance/data')
copy path('/GeoHealthCheck/GeoHealthCheck/config_main.py') path('/GeoHealthCheck/instance/config_site.py')
pip install -r requirements.txt
move path('/GeoHealthCheck/GeoHealthCheck/static/lib/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2-3.3.7-1/dist') path('/GeoHealthCheck/GeoHealthCheck/static/lib/dist')
move path('/GeoHealthCheck/GeoHealthCheck/static/lib/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2-3.3.7-1/vendor') path('/GeoHealthCheck/GeoHealthCheck/static/lib/vendor')

This may be due to some temporary failure on either Docker Hub or else. Triggering a new build with same GH version on DockerHub rendered success.
Also JQueryUI is currently part of GHC in GitHub and needs to be moved as well to a CDN version.
