Prepared Adventurer

Project for Praktikum 1 at Universität of Wien.

The project considers in doing a Monolith application at first, and then splitting intro micro-services

Requirements

To run the application, 3 things will be needed:

• Gradle, to run the backend.
• Node and npm, to run the frontend
• Docker and Docker Compose to run the container running the database.

Preparation

To install all the dependencies:

• Gradle will automatically pick up the dependencies before running, so there is no preparation step needed.
• To install the dependencies for the frontend, it's needed to run, in the root of the project, the command $ npm install
• For the database, the container will be fetched when running, so there is no prerequisite step.

Execution

To run the application:

• The first step would be running the container for the database:
  • Navigate to src/main/docker
  • Run the command $ (sudo) docker-compose up -d. 'Sudo' might be needed depending on the Docker installation. This will fetch the image for the container and run it on the background.
• To run the backend, on the root of the project, run $ ./gradlew -Pprod
• To run the frontend, it's needed to run $ npm start

The order is key, since the backend needs the database running.
