• Node.js

Run the build script (compiles all simulators, and configures web application):

Start the backend server:

$ cd server
$ node app.js

Start the frontend application:

$ cd web
$ gatsby develop

Open a Web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000

Running with Docker

$ cd eduwrench
$ docker-compose build --no-cache
$ docker-compose up -d

Enabling SSL deployment

By default, eduWRENCH is configured to run in SSL disabled mode. SSL support can be enabled by editing the .env file. The following variables need to be defined to enable SSL support:

# Port number for Gatsby application (frontend)
EDUWRENCH_GATSBY_PORT=443
# Enable SSL connection (true|false)
EDUWRENCH_ENABLE_SSL=true
# Folder where certificates are stored in the local system
EDUWRENCH_SSL_CERTS_DIR=./ssl
# Name of the certificate file
EDUWRENCH_SSL_CERTIFICATE=cert.pem
# Name of the private key file
EDUWRENCH_SSL_PRIVATE_KEY=key.pem

If running the Local installation, the environment should be set by running the following command: $ source .env. If running with Docker no additional steps are required, since the .env file is automatically read by the docker-compose command.
