Instructions to Run Locally

You need to modify some things in the docs\script.js file first, since this repository is set up so that the backend is hosted on a Google VM. If you are using a Unix system (Linux or Mac), type the following: export PORT=8080 and if you are using a Windows operating system, type the following: set PORT=8080.

In docs\script.js, uncomment line 11: plot.src = 'http://0.0.0.0:8080/data.png?t=' + Date.now(); and comment out line 12: plot.src = 'http://117.9.121.34.bc.googleusercontent.com/data.png?t=' + Date.now();. Also, uncomment line 20: let result = await fetch("http://0.0.0.0:8080") and comment out line 19: let result = await fetch("http://117.9.121.34.bc.googleusercontent.com/");.

Now, do the following:

  1. In the command line, run main.py.
  2. In your web browser, go to http://localhost:8080/
  3. Open index.html in your web browser.

Instructions to run on a Google VM

Whenever you change main.py, you need to re-build the Docker file. These are the steps to do so:

  1. sudo docker build --tag webdev/vaccine-tracker .

You will see the following output near the end: Successfully built <container id>, where <container-id> is the ID of the container. You will then want to use nohup to run this process in the background with the following command:

  1. nohup sudo docker run -p 80:56666 <container id> > output.txt&

You can view the output in output.txt.
