Run dengue-backend OUTSIDE Docker Container

Setup Backend

• Install Backend Packages

pipenv install

• Setup environment variables

export DENGUE_SECRET_KEY="some hard to guess value"
export DENGUE_DB_NAME="database name for postgis"
export DENGUE_DB_USER="user name for postgis"
export DENGUE_DB_PASSWORD="user password for postgis"
export DENGUE_DB_HOST="host for postgis"
export DENGUE_DB_PORT="port for postgis"
export DENGUE_CACHE_LOCATION="redis uri"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY="AWS access key"
export AWS_SECRET_KEY="AWS secret key"
export GOOGLE_MAP_API_KEY="Google Map API key"

Setup Postgis

• Create user

$ createuser -P -e dengue_user

Enter password for new role: dengue
Enter it again: dengue
CREATE ROLE dengue_user PASSWORD ...

• Create database

createdb dengue_db

• Start Postgres server

pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start

• Create postgis extension

$ psql

postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE dengue_db TO dengue_user;
postgres=# \c dengue_db;
dengue_db=# CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION

• Initial Database
  • Different can be configed in dengue/dengue/settings

pipenv run python dengue/manage.py migrate --settings=dengue.settings.<ENV>

• Create Superuser
  • Different can be configed in dengue/dengue/settings

$ pipenv run python dengue/manage.py createsuperuser --settings=dengue.settings.<ENV>

Username: admin
Email address: [email protected]
Password: some-secret
Password: (again): some-secret
Superuser created successfully.

• Initialize Data
  • Different can be configed in dengue/dengue/settings

# Insert Substitute
pipenv run python dengue/manage.py init_taiwan_data --settings=dengue.settings.<ENV>

# Insert Hospitial
pipenv run python dengue/manage.py init_hospital_data --settings=dengue.settings.<ENV>

Setup Redis

• Start

redis-server

Setup Frontend

cd dengue/static/
npm install
npm run typings install
npx tsc

Start Backend Server

• Start a local server
  • Different can be configed in dengue/dengue/settings

pipenv run python dengue/manage.py runserver --settings=dengue.settings.<ENV>

• Start production server

cd dengue/
sudo uwsgi --ini dengue.ini

• Stop production server

sudo killall -s INT uwsgi

Run dengue-backend INSIDE Docker Container

• Setup environement variables by creating env.cfg at the root directory (Use env-template.cfg as the template for env.cfg)
  • Note that the following key pairs should have the same value
    • POSTGRES_DBNAME, DENGUE_DB_NAME
    • DENGUE_DB_USER, POSTGRES_USER
    • DENGUE_DB_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_PASS
  • INIT_DB should be true and GOOGLE_MAP_API_KEY should be proper API key only when the database is first created and used to initial data
  • The hostname and other nginx configuration can be configured in. docker/nginx.

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

Migrate Database Manually

It's possible that the "web" container runs before "postgis" contain is ready and thus cannot migrate database in time.
If this happens, you will get a 502 response when you enter http://127.0.0.1.
In such case, you should manually migrate the database.

Use docker ps command to find the container ID of "dengue-backend_web" and execute the following command to migrate the database.

docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID>  python3 dengue/manage.py migrate --settings=dengue.settings.production

Create Super User

docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID>  python3 dengue/manage.py createsuperuser --settings=dengue.settings.production

Clean Up Docker Image and Volumes (Use with Cautious)

Note that this command will clean up all the data.

docker-compose down -v --rmi local
