DEPLOYMENT.md

How to Deploy

Consider these instructions temporary or as a template for creating a Travis or other CI script. Ultimately, when the repo is tagged for a release steps like these should execute the CI steps to deploy a new version of the app.

1. Create an api key in your IN THE ACCOUNT THAT IS HOSTING THE APP, not your personal account UNLESS you are the owner and save it somewhere as json

   {
     "name": "some-name",
     "description": "some description",
     "createdAt": "2020-07-10T22:54+0000",
     "apikey": "-LYxYYxxYYxxYxxx9xxY9x9xY9xxYYY9xxYY_xYxYxxL"
   }

2. Install ibmcloud cli https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-getting-started
3. Install cloud foundry plugin ibmcloud cf install
4. Update plugins ibmcloud plugin update
5. Login to ibmcloud ibmcloud login --apikey @~/projects/ibmcloud-apikey.json
6. ibmcloud target -g cfc-team-fivefifths -o cfc-team-external-apps -s cfc-fivefifths-space --cf-api https://api.us-south.cf.cloud.ibm.com
7. cd services
8. yarn deploy
9. cd ../ui
10. yarn deploy

Set Current Election

The current election for use with the Google Civic API is set as an environment variable on the services layer. Set the deployed app runtime for the current value.

NODE_CIVIC_ELECTION_ID=7000

User provided services.

It does not appear that user provided services can be edited in the cloud website UI. The user services are created like this:

ibmcloud cf cups five-fifths-twitter -p '{"apikey": "xyz123", "secretkey": "abc123", "access_token": "ABC999", "access_token_secret": "QWE888" }'
ibmcloud cf cups "Five Fifths Google Civic API" -p '{"apikey": "xyz123" }'

They can be edited from the command line with the ibmcloud cf uups command this this

ibmcloud cf uups "Five Fifths Google Civic API" -p '{"apikey": "bbb000" }'
ic cf restart fivefifthsvoter-services

The google map API key is set at build time so there is not a user provide service yet for this. This key should be added to a CI workflow to automatically build the app.
