Requirements

The following must be available on your server:

• pymongo
• httpie
• jsonref
• jsonschema
• Node.js and npm
• docker

Installation of APIs

Setting config parameters

After cloning this repo, you will need to set the paramters given in api/conf/config.json and app/conf/config.json

Step-1: Creating and starting docker container for mongodb

From the "api" subdirectory, run the python script given to build and start a mongodb container:

python3 create_mongodb_container.py -s $SER
docker ps --all 

The last command should list docker all containers and you should see the container you created running_argosdb_mongo_$SER. To start this container, the best way is to create a service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-argosdb-mongo-$SER.service), and place the following content in it.

[Unit]
Description=Glyds MONGODB Container
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a running_argosdb_mongo_$SER
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 running_argosdb_mongo_$SER

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

This will allow you to start/stop the container with the following commands, and ensure that the container will start on server reboot.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload 
$ sudo systemctl enable docker-argosdb-mongo-$SER.service
$ sudo systemctl start docker-argosdb-mongo-$SER.service
$ sudo systemctl stop docker-argosdb-mongo-$SER.service

Step-2: Initialize and populate your mongodb database

To init your mongodb, go to the "api" subdirectory and run (this should be done only one time):

python3 init_mongodb.py -s $SER

You can load data from the most recent release you have downloaded using the following command:

cd api
python3 load_current_release.py -s $SER -v $VER -m full

To load data from downloaded legacy releases:

cd api
python3 load_legacy_release.py -s $SER -v $VER -m full

Step-3: Creating docker container for the APIs

From the "api" subdirectory, run the python script given to build and start container:

python3 create_api_container.py -s $SER
docker ps --all

The last command should list docker all containers and you should see the container you created running_argosdb_api_$SER. To start this container, the best way is to create a service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-argosdb-api-$SER.service), and place the following content in it.

[Unit]
Description=Glyds API Container
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a running_argosdb_api_$SER
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 running_argosdb_api_$SER

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

This will allow you to start/stop the container with the following commands, and ensure that the container will start on server reboot.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload 
$ sudo systemctl enable docker-argosdb-api-$SER.service
$ sudo systemctl start docker-argosdb-api-$SER.service
$ sudo systemctl stop docker-argosdb-api-$SER.service

Step-4: Testing the APIs

From the "api" subdirectory, run the following to test the APIs

http POST http://localhost:$API_PORT/misc/info
http POST http://localhost:$API_PORT/dataset/search < queries/dataset_search.json
http POST http://localhost:$API_PORT/dataset/detail < queries/dataset_detail.json
http POST http://localhost:$API_PORT/dataset/historylist < queries/dataset_historylist.json
http POST http://localhost:$API_PORT/dataset/historydetail < queries/dataset_historydetail.json

where $API_PORT the API port specified in the api/conf/config.json file.

Installation of APP

Setting config parameters

After cloning this repo, you will need to set the paramters given in conf/config.json. The "app_port" is the port in the host that should map to docker container for the app.

Creating and starting docker container for the APP

From the "app" subdirectory, run the python script given to build and start container:

python3 create_app_container.py -s $SER
docker ps --all

The last command should list docker all containers and you should see the container you created running_argosdb_app_$SER. To start this container, the best way is to create a service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-argosdb-app-$SER.service), and place the following content in it.

[Unit]
Description=Glyds APP Container
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a running_argosdb_app_$SER
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 running_argosdb_app_$SER

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

This will allow you to start/stop the container with the following commands, and ensure that the container will start on server reboot.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload 
$ sudo systemctl enable docker-argosdb-app-$SER.service
$ sudo systemctl start docker-argosdb-app-$SER.service
$ sudo systemctl stop docker-argosdb-app-$SER.service

Mapping APP and API containers to public domains

To map the APP and API containers to public domains (e.g. www.argosdb.org and api.argosdb.org), add apache VirtualHost directives. This VirtualHost directive can be in a new f ile (e.g. /etc/httpd/conf.d/argosdb.conf).

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName www.argosdb.org
  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:$APP_PORT/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:$APP_PORT/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName api.argosdb.org
  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:$API_PORT/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:$API_PORT/
</VirtualHost>

where $APP_PORT and $API_PORT are your port for the APP and API ports in conf/config.json file. You need to restart apache after this changes using the following command:

$ sudo apachectl restart
