Students.

The task.

The task has two parts:

First part:
Create a good design with a strong validation for the fields below. Also, add a JS mask to the date of birth and phone number.

Required Fields:

First Name, [minimum three characters]
Last Name, [minimum three characters]
Date of Birth, [ format 01/01/2000 ]
Email Address,
Phone Number [ format (999) 999-9999]
Favorite sports [checkbox]

Second part:
Using any programming language [PHP preferable ] build a simple web-application that save information into the database and then manage it. Create pages to show:

Add Page -> To add a student record to the database.
View Page -> To Show all the records.
Managing Page -> To Show all records, edit and/or delete records.

Make sure to add validation to the all input fields. After you are done, please email us the zip containing all files and the dump of the database.

Steps

Set up a server with Docker and MySQL (Ansible, GitHub Actions);
Create frontend app (Vue 3, JavaScript);
Create backend app (FastAPI, Python, Swagger, Alembic);
Create database (MySQL 8.0);
Create pipeline ( GitHub -> GitHub Actions -> Docker).

How to run locally

(Requirements: Python >= 3.9, npm >= 8.11)

Install and run MySQL 8.0 server on your computer.
In MySQL 8.0 create database "students" and create user "teacher" with password and all privileges.
Add environment variables:

TEST_SERVER_DB_PASSWORD - add database user's password
TEST_SERVER_HOST - 127.0.0.1

Download project to your computer.
Open project folder "backend" in terminal and run next commands:

pip install -r requirements.txt
alembic upgrade head
uvicorn main:app --reload

Use suggested link to use the backend part with nested Swagger documentation(e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs).
Open project folder "frontend" in terminal and run next commands:

npm install
npm run serve

Use suggested link to use the backend part with nested Swagger documentation(e.g. http://localhost:8080/).

How to run globally (VDS, Cloud).

(Requirements: CPU 1 x 3.3GHz, RAM 1GB, HDD > 10GB, Ubuntu 20.04)

Run a server with a root login and password.
Create a GITHUB personal access token (https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token).
Generate on your local machine SSH key pair.
Fork GITHUB repository - https://github.com/KhitrovMaksim/students
In your nearly created repository add secrets (Settings -> Secrets -> Actions secrets).

TEST_SERVER_HOST (ip address only. E.g. 87.249.54.26)
TEST_SERVER_LOGIN (root, early created on step 1)
TEST_SERVER_PASSWORD (early created on step 1)
TEST_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY (early created on step 3)
TEST_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY (early created on step 3)
TEST_SERVER_DB_PASSWORD (think up a password)

Run workflows in GitHub Actions:

"Settings up the server"
"Start application"

Open browser and go to your ip address (E.g. 87.249.54.26 - for frontend, E.g. 87.249.54.26:8080 for Swagger documentation).

About.

Frontend.

Vue 3 (JavaScript, Options API) with bootstrap, vue cli, router, vuex, axios ... On local machine you may use "npm run serve" command to run or build Docker Multi-Stage Image.

In GitHub Actions you may use workflow - Auto deploy frontend - for automatic deployment on push. Or you can run this workflow manually.

Backend.

FastAPI (Python 3.9) with Swagger documentation, SQLAlchemy, Alembic (migrations)... On local machine you may use "uvicorn main:app --reload" command to run or build Docker Image.

In GitHub Actions you may use workflow - Auto deploy backend - for automatic deployment on push. Or you can run this workflow manually.

CI/CD.

GitHub Actions - Setting up the server.

Ansible installs (by roles) on your server:

Docker.
MySQL 8.0 (configuring, with adding database "students" and user "teacher").
SSH (this role performs some basic security configuration:

Install software to monitor bad SSH access (fail2ban).
Configure SSH to be more secure (disabling root login, requiring key-based authentication, and allowing a custom SSH port to be set).
Set up automatic updates.

GitHub Actions - Start / Stop application.

Start - To start your application by Build and Push images in GitHub container registry, and then run it on your server. Stop - To stop your application by stopping running containers and deleting images.

GitHub Actions - Auto deploy frontend / backend.

Automatically triggered workflows "on push" in folders "frontend" or "backend".

GitHub Actions - MySQL dump.

Run workflow manually to create dump file (dump.sql).
