Final Project

The website is developed using React.js and Node.js. Host by Nginx server on EC2: https://cnfinal.stadium.rdto.io

All requirements are satisfied including SSL issuance

Getting Started

Currently run on node.js v14.17.3. nvm is recommended to manage node versions. All dependencies are specified in the package.json file.

Installation and Setup Instructions

1. Install dependencies: npm install.

2. Use certbox to issue SSL certificate (optional):

   https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=other&os=ubuntufocal

3. You can also setup Nginx as a reverse proxy (optional):

   See the config file cnfinal.stadium.rdto.io

4. For the message board service, run the json-server database:

   npm install -g json-server
   json-server --watch db.json --port 3001 --host 0.0.0.0
   #set --host so the service can be accessed from everywhere instead of only 127.0.0.1 when running on EC2

   The database is now running on http://localhost:3001.

5. For the audio/video streaming service, run the server:

   node ./src/stream/server.js

   The server is now running on http://localhost:8000.

6. Run the app either in

   development mode:

   PORT=5173 npm start

   or

   ($env:PORT = "5173"); npm start

   production mode:

   npm run build

   and serve the build folder using Nginx.

   Now the webapp can be accessed in http://localhost:5173
