Local development

For local development against locally running services:

1. Set up Postgres
2. Set up Keycloak
3. Start the app.

For local development against cloud services:

1. Start the app.

Postgres

If you want to set up a locally running Postgres to connect to.

Install

Install postgres (on Ubuntu, sudo apt get install postgresql)

On MacOS, if you get an error, you may need to create or modify your /etc/sysctl.conf file and allow more "shared memory". An explanation can be found in this article.

Database setup

Create a database

createdb <DATABASE-NAME>

Create a superuser with permissions on the database

CREATE USER <USER-GOES-HERE> WITH PASSWORD <PASSWORD-GOES-HERE>;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SCHEMA PUBLIC TO <USER-GOES-HERE>;

Postgres notes

On Linux, if you just installed postgresql, you may need to change some permissions to be able to log on as a superuser to create a db or new user

First edit pg_hba.conf and modify to "trust".

Then you should be able to restart postgres and login.

service postgres stop
service postgres start
sudo su - postgres

Connect to DB

Set environment variables to allow you to connect to the database. An example configuration is below

ANDREWSLAI_DB_HOST=localhost
ANDREWSLAI_DB_USER=andrewslai
ANDREWSLAI_DB_PASSWORD=andrewslai
ANDREWSLAI_DB_NAME=andrewslai
ANDREWSLAI_DB_PORT=5432

Locally running app connected to locally running services

Setup steps
Create an uberjar and build the docker container. Start keycloak

lein do clean, uberjar
docker build -t andrewslai .
docker run --network host \
            -e DB_USER=keycloak  \
            -e DB_PASSWORD=keycloak \
            -e DB_DATABASE=keycloak \
            -e DB_VENDOR=POSTGRES \
            -e DB_ADDR=""  \
            jboss/keycloak -Djgroups.bind_addr=127.0.0.1

Startup
Edit the .env.local file to provide env vars.

docker run -d --rm --network host --env-file=.env.local -p 5000:5000 andrewslai

There is a template for what the .env.local in env.local.example

ANDREWSLAI_AUTH_TYPE=none ANDREWSLAI_DB_TYPE=embedded-h2 ANDREWSLAI_STATIC_CONTENT_TYPE=local ANDREWSLAI_STATIC_CONTENT_FOLDER='../andrewslai-frontend/resources/public' lein run

Locally running app connected to cloud services

Setup steps
Create an uberjar and build the docker container.

lein do clean, uberjar
docker build -t andrewslai .

Startup
Edit the .env.aws file to provide the correct environment variables.

docker run -d --rm --env-file=.env.aws -p 5000:5000 andrewslai
