DEVELOPMENT SETUP

To ease the development the project provides a docker setup that includes all the necessary components in order to quickly have a running development environment. Follow the next steps to properly setup your ComTrack environment

1. Install the necessary dependencies (git, docker and docker-compose)

2. Use git to clone this repo

3. Navigate into the docker folder and issue the following commands:

   • docker-compose build mariadb
   • docker-compose build apache
   • docker-compose up -d mariadb apache scheduler mailhog

4. Install php dependencies in the apache container

   • docker exec -it ooc-server bash
   • cd /var/www/html/backoffice
   • php composer.phar install
   • exit

5. Edit your hosts file (in linux this file is /etc/hosts) and add the apache container ip (you can get this ip by analysing the output of: docker network inspect docker_ooc). As an example, this file should look like the following:

       192.168.1.5 ooc-backoffice.com
       192.168.1.5 ooc-datahub.com

6. You will most probably need to adjust the permissions (giving write privileges) to the following folders:

   • www/uploads
   • www/backoffice/assets/images/ooc
   • www/datahub/json/beneficiaries
   • www/datahub/json/projects

After this, you should be able to access:

• Backoffice application - poc login
• Backoffice application - host login
• Datahub application - map viewer
• Mailhog fake SMTP server outbox

If you wish to have a web interface to access the db directly, PhpMyAdmin is also provided within the docker setup. To have it up and running execute docker-compose up -d phpadmin and access it on phpMyAdmin. In case you want to use your own db client, please refer to USERS AND PASSWORDS section and use the following configurations:

host: localhost
port: 3306
database: dg_mare

NOTE: the passwords are stored using MD5 encryption. You can generate new passwords through the application or manually by issuing echo -n mynewpassword | md5sum and pasting the result in the db.
