bencomp / ehri-frontend

The EHRI project's portal interface.

Front-end for the EHRI REST web service.

This app has a few depependencies in addition to the backend:

• A PostgreSQL 9.5+ database
• Solr, running configurated as per the config in EHRI Search Tools

The setup docs to get these dependencies up and running ended up horribly out-of-date, so rather than actively mislead people they've been temporarily removed pending the completion of some Docker -based dev setup instructions. In the meantime, here's how they'll start:

• Set up the search engine on port 8983:

  sudo docker run --publish 8983:8983 -it ehri/ehri-search-tools

• Set up the backend web service on port 7474:

  sudo docker run --publish 7474:7474 -it ehri/ehri-rest

• Set up PostgreSQL (Dockerised) with the right schema:

  sudo docker run -v $(pwd)/conf/schema:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d -e POSTGRES_USER=docview -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=changeme --publish 5432:5432 postgres

• install sbt

• sbt run

• go to localhost:9000

• create an account at http://localhost:9000/login

• get your new account id (probably user000001)

• run curl -X POST http://localhost:7474/ehri/group/admin/{userId} to make dev admin

Testing

Running integration tests requires an instance of the backend service running locally on port 7575. This can be done with a single Docker command:

sudo docker run --publish 7575:7474 -it ehri/ehri-rest
