First milestone today: the production setup can (nearly) be replicated in a testing environment built in a fully automated way by Vagrant + postinst script with interactive input. That is, despite warnings and missing CSS at the moment, the crunching + crunching_e and manage_crunching + manage_e pages now work as they should, rather than spitting fatal errors about missing files, DB access errors and whatnot
The management pages are behind user+password authentication, with 17 accounts corresponding to the new admin, the 4 (AFAIK) existing managers, those who have post-processed numbers for NFS@Home in the past few months and/or provide numbers. When the RBAC system is done, these users will be used for testing the four aforementioned roles.
