Web Techno : Social Interests

This depo contains the code for a Web Technology project : Social Interests.

Description

This project consists of a web application that allows users to create a profile and share their interests. In order to deploy the application, you have two options :

• Using Docker.
• Locally using npm.

Docker

To deploy the application on Docker, you have to install Docker and Docker Compose on your computer. Then :

• Configure nginx to serve the application. A sample config file is provided in ./frontend/nginx/conf/frontend.conf.
• Modify the config.js in ./frontend/src/ to match your needs.
• Modify the environment variables in docker-compose.yml to match your needs.
• Launch docker-compose up to start the application.

The frontend is then served via nginx, using certbot to generate a letsencrypt certificate. The api is also served via nginx, using the same certificate, using a reverse proxy.

Local

To deploy the application locally (for development, for example), you have to do the following

Database

Install MongoDB on your computer, then run the following command to start the database.

systemctl enable mongodb
systemctl start mongodb
mongorestore dump/

Backend

• Modify the config.js in ./backend/ to match your needs.

cd backend
npm install
npm start

The backend will run on the port that you configured. Make sure to configure the right port for the frontend.

Frontend

• Modify the config.js in ./frontend/src/ to match your needs.

cd frontend
npm install
npm start

By default, the frontend will run on port 3000.
