Installation and Execution

Project Automation via Docker

The project contains a docker image for each component, and a docker-compose file that orchestrates these images to be run as services. The configuration creates three services: backend, fronted and nginx (a reverse proxy that redirects to the backend and frontend components), a persistent volume for the backend where the database is stored. This deployment is a production deployment, which means that all components run in release mode.

Prerequisites

# install docker (or replacement) and docker-compose

# using official docker convinience script
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sh get-docker.sh

# using official docker-compose way of installation ()
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.4.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# Alternatively, on Fedora
# Installing podman as a drop in replacement for docker; and installing docker-compose from official repositories.
sudo dnf install podman docker-compose

Deployment

git clone https://github.com/omariosc/inertia
docker-compose up

Development Mode Components

Development Prerequisites

The project requires the following software packages in order to be built:

• dotnet sdk
• nodejs
• npm
• (optionally) doxygen for documentation generation
• (optionally) python3 for running backend tests

The following commands show how these packages can be acquired on Fedora Linux (34, 35):

sudo dnf install dotnet npm nodejs python3 python3-pip doxygen

Backend

Running the backend in development mode can be done like so:

# assuming the current working directory is: inertia/backend
dotnet restore inertia.csproj
dotnet run
# the backend server will run automatically on the URL: https://localhost:7220

Running the tests

# assuming the current working directory is: inertia/backend-testing
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py https://localhost:7220

Building documentation

# assuming the current working directory is: inertia/backend
doxygen .doxygen

Frontend

Before running the frontend component, the file frontend/src/host.js must be modified to contain:

// Backend host IP address.
let host = "https://localhost:7220";
export default host;

This will ensure that the frontend will connect to the backend that is running in the development mode.

# assuming the current working directory is: inertia/frontend
npm install
npm start
