insapp-server

Insapp architecture

Related repositories: API, web, Android, iOS version.

Server Setup

This currently doesn't work on Windows because the Mongo image can't read bind mounts from NTFS volumes. This could probably be fixed by using volumes.

Clone this repository and its submodules:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/thomas-bouvier/insapp-server.git

Customize the server by running the install.sh script:

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

You can now build and run the Docker instance with:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

You're all set!

CLI

The api contains a CLI:

docker-compose exec api ./insapp-cli

Create your first association

To create your first association (a master association) that can create other associations from the web interface, use:

docker-compose exec api ./insapp-cli association create --name MyFirstAssociation --email [email protected]

Pull updates

To pull last updates, simply run the pull_changes.sh script:

chmod +x pull_changes.sh
./pull_changes.sh

Database

Folder ./insapp-db is bound to /data/db in db container.

docker-compose exec db mongo -u insapp-admin -p <password>

Database Dump

To create a binary export of the MongoDB database, use the following command:

docker-compose exec db mongodump -u insapp-admin -p <password> --authenticationDatabase admin --out /data/db/backups/`date +%Y-%m-%d` --db insapp

You can configure automatic backups to Dropbox by running the enable_backups.sh script. You should edit it beforehand to configure the name of the Docker instance running MongoDB.

Database Restoration

Place a dump in ./insapp-db/current-backup/, then run:

docker-compose exec db mongorestore -u insapp-admin -p <password> -d insapp --authenticationDatabase admin /data/db/current-backup/insapp

Manual configuration

If you want to manually customize the server, you should edit the following configuration files:

• docker-compose.yml
• traefik.toml
• insapp-go/Dockerfile
• insapp-go/config.json
• insapp-web/app/src/js/config/app.config.js
