The following must be available on your server:
- Node.js and npm
- docker
After cloning this repo, you will need to set the paramters given in conf/config.json. The "server" paramater can be "tst" or "prd" for test or production server respectively. The "app_port" is the port in the host that should map to docker container for the app.
From the "app" subdirectory, run the python script given to build and start container:
python3 create_app_container.py -s {DEP}
docker ps --all
The last command should list docker all containers and you should see the container you created "running_hivelab_app_{DEP}". To start this container, the best way is to create a service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-hivelab-app-{DEP}.service), and place the following content in it.
[Unit]
Description=Glyds APP Container
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service
[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a running_hivelab_app_{DEP}
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 running_hivelab_app_{DEP}
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
This will allow you to start/stop the container with the following commands, and ensure that the container will start on server reboot.
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable docker-hivelab-app-{DEP}.service
$ sudo systemctl start docker-hivelab-app-{DEP}.service
$ sudo systemctl stop docker-hivelab-app-{DEP}.service
To map the APP and API containers to public domains (e.g. www.hivelab.org and api.hivelab.org), add apache VirtualHost directives. This VirtualHost directive can be in a new f ile (e.g. /etc/httpd/conf.d/hivelab.conf).
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.hivelab.org
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:{APP_PORT}/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:{APP_PORT}/
</VirtualHost>
where {APP_PORT} and {API_PORT} are your port for the APP and API ports in conf/config.json file. You need to restart apache after this changes using the following command:
$ sudo apachectl restart
