Bluebox is a web UI for the swift object store with Enterprise Content Management extensions. This is the UI for our larger "OSECM" research project

Bluebox consists of two parts:

• a small server runtime written in python
• an angularJS frontend

they communicate over an HTTP API. The "frontend" is served by the python app as well but any static HTTP server could be used.

• install the requirements stated in requirements.txt (or simply run it and see what's missing...)
• for local development/testing: python runApp_Development.py
• for production: ./runApp_Production.sh

this is possible but hasn't been tested in some time.

• Procfile needs to be adapted to execute one of the runners
• dynamic connection to a swift service needs to be implemented; static config via the config file should work

configuration of the host/port is done inside the two "run" scripts mentioned above.

configuration of the swift backend connection is in the appConfig.py file. An example is given by appConfig.example.py
