Build instructions

1. Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add a few variables:

DB_USER=defaultUser
DB_PASS=defaultPass
DB_TO_USE=delay
DB_HOST=delay-db
STAGE=dev

2. To set-up a dev environment using docker-compose, run:

docker-compose up -d

3. To build reqserver run this command in the tool-container:

./build_server.sh

Note: This will mirror your local folders into the container, so changes will automatically be applied.

Building the web-server separately

Backend:

1. Create a new virtual environment and activate it

Windows:
python -m venv env && source env/Scripts/activate

Mac/Linux
python -m venv env && source env/bin/activate

2. Export two variables in current terminal so the backend can connect to the DB.

export ENV_USER=defaultUser
export ENV_PASS=defaultPass

3. Run this to install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Start the server:

flask run

Frontend:

1. Install yarn if you haven't
2. Run this from ./frontend to install dependencies:

yarn install

3. Start the server

yarn start
