🛠️ Deployment

⚙️ Backend

1. Open cmd.
2. Type in the command:

pip install virtualenv

3. Go to the backend folder:

cd path/to/folder

4. Create a virtual environment:

virtualenv venv

5. Activate the virtual environment:

Windows:

call venv/Scripts/activate

Linux:

source venv/bin/activate

6. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

7. Replace the host, port, and origin fields with your own in the file backend/src/misc.py.
8. Start the server with the command:

Windows:

set PYTHONPATH=path/to/varus/project && python path/to/app.py

Linux:

PYTHONPATH=path/to/varus/project python path/to/app.py

👁️ Frontend

1. Open cmd.
2. Go to the frontend folder:

cd path/to/folder

3. Install the modules:

npm install
npm install --global serve

4. Replace the backend url field in the file frontend/src/globals.js.
5. Create an application build:

npm run build

6. Start the application:

serve -s path/to/frontend/folder/dist -l 5000

💻 Service creation

To avoid starting the application manually after every server reboot, you can create services.

1. Open cmd.
2. Go to the system folder:

cd /etc/systemd/system/

3. Create a backend service file:

nano varus.backend.service

4. Paste the service code and replace the paths in it:

[Unit]
Description=Varus backend service
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/root/varus
Environment="PATH=/root/varus/backend/venv/bin"
Environment="PYTHONPATH=/root/varus"
ExecStart=/root/varus/backend/venv/bin/python /root/varus/backend/src/app.py

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

5. Save all and close the file.
6. Create a frontend service file:

nano varus.frontend.service

7. Paste the service code and replace the paths in it:

[Unit]
Description=Varus frontend service
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/root/varus/frontend/dist
ExecStart=/usr/bin/serve -s /root/varus/frontend/dist -l 80

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

8. Save all and close the file.
9. Reload daemon:

systemctl daemon-reload

10. Enable services:

systemctl enable varus.backend.service

systemctl enable varus.frontend.service

11. Start services:

systemctl start varus.backend.service

systemctl start varus.frontend.service

12. Check if services are running:

systemctl status varus.backend.service

systemctl status varus.frontend.service
