DIAS meteor database website

Front-end website for viewing meteor images, filtering with searches and labeling the images.

Looks for RMS-style image files from AllSky/RaspberryPi, parses the camera name and event timestamp, and adds the entry to a MySQL database.

• First, git clone https://github.com/pesvut/meteor-website.git
• Install packages: npm install
• Add MySQL credentials to /credentials/mysql.json in this format:

{
  "host": "",
  "user": "",
  "password": "",  
  "database": "",
  "port": 3306
}

• create a .env file and add PORT=8080 (or if using systemd add Environment=PORT=8080), but replace 8080 with whatever port you would like to host on
• (optional) add .env variable SERVE_IMAGES=1 if using the built in images server (it is reccomended to use the standalone one unless testing)
• edit the src/config.json and change below to match server configuration:

  "imageDomain": "https://meteor-data.ap.dias.ie/",
  "imagePath": "/meteors-data/",

• build the server using npm run build
• (optional) change root homepage path from /meteors to something else: change in /package.json "homepage": "/meteors" and /src/config.json "homapage": "/meteors"
• run the process with either node server.js (or create a systemd process with /usr/bin/node etc...)

• run the following command to update:

git pull && \
npm install && \
npm audit fix && \
npm run build

• start the server again node server.js

Create a system file in /lib/systemd/system/, change /path/to/meteor-website/ to wherever the directory is located, and optionally uncomment #User=pi to change to whatever you user you want it to be run by.
