Agile Board Project for CSE412

Setup (for local use)

1. Install docker
2. Install Python.
3. Install pip (might just come with Python nowadays, run pip --version to check)
4. Install postgres on your machine.
5. pip install psycopg2 for ability to use Python-Postgres interface
6. Clone this git repository to somewhere on your machine git clone https://github.com/spencerbyw/AgileBoardProject.git
7. Make sure docker is running. Fire off the following commands:

• docker pull postgres get the postgres image
• docker run -d -p 5432:5432 postgres starts a postgres process in the background, exposing port 5432 so we can use it

8. Inside the git repository, run the following commands:

• make from_scratch This will load the database in the docker container with test data

9. You now have a the database working locally.

Usage

To Use psql

To use psql, the command line interface for Postgres, do the following:

• docker ps -a and copy the name of the running container (should be some weird name like "ecstatic_hugle")
• docker run -it --rm --link <NAME_THAT_YOU_COPIED>:postgres postgres psql -h postgres -U postgres This will give you access to psql command line interface. You can now run commands here.
• Useful commands:
  • \q Use this to quit psql
  • \dt List all tables
  • Run whatever SQL query you want, like select * from card;
