C19 // COVID-19 Self Registration Project

C19 is an Open Source COVID-19 self registration tool build by volunteering people in tech. We are startup founders, engineers, designers etc. with resources sponsored by tech-companies around the world.

We're currently piloting in Denmark on https://c19.dk.

Prerequisites (~4 min)

1. PostgreSQL database
   • download an installer from https://www.postgresql.org/download/
     note: The MacOS installer of Postgres 12 is very user friendly! :))
   • Alternatively use a free database from Heruko or ElephantSQL
2. NodeJS

Setup (~6 min)

1. Fork the repo to you own github user (so you are ready to make pull requests)
2. Clone the codebase to your machine git clone ....
3. npm install (or yarn)
4. copy the template file .env.example to .env and open that file
5. enter tokens to the various services used
   • the postgres connection string eg
     DATABASE=postgres://postgres:password@localhost:5432/c19
   • the SECRET (some 64-bit password used for db-encryption)
   • the Twilio keys (you can ignore this while in development)
   • the Rollbar token (you can ignore this while in the development)
6. Create DB tables
   • Run the SQL found in create.sql to setup tables. Eg you can simply copy-past the SQL into the Query Tool (click Tools -> Query Tool) in PgAdmin4

Development

Run npm run dev (or yarn dev) to start the development loop.

Trouble shooting

When running npm run dev, you see a big ugly stack trace ...

[ wait ]  compiling ...
[ ready ] compiled successfully - ready on http://localhost:3000
TypeError: Invalid connection details: undefined

.. then postgres is not running yet!
