must have docker and docker-compose installed. You can go to docker's website to download the latest version of docker (comes with compose). Once you install it, you'll need to click on the application to run it.

Running the docker app will add docker and docker-compose to your PATH so you can run those commands on your terminal

To do everything at once, open up a terminal and run the following command:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.full_db.yaml up --build --force-recreate --renew-anon-volumes

The website will be at http://127.0.0.1:3007/feed

You must wait to see INSTANTIATED to finish to have the ANN index loaded locally, you can comment out before_first_request if you don't need it

If you want to see the API docs, you can go to http://localhost:5004/doc

You can use control-c to kill the local servers

If you don't want to re-seed the DB, you can:

If you want to do things separately there are 3 commands:

If you're running mac and have HomeBrew installed, then you can run brew install git-lfs

You NEED to download git lfs. Go to https://git-lfs.github.com/ and download/install git lfs.

Then clone the repo (AFTER you have installed git lfs)

Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/kennethgoodman/Columbia-E4579.git

Then cd into the directory and run git lfs

git lfs install && git lfs pull

The first time to build the database

docker-compose -f docker-compose.full_db.yaml up --build --force-recreate --renew-anon-volumes

Afterwards you can run

docker-compose -f docker-compose.full_db.yaml up

docker-compose down

docker-compose build --no-cache

docker-compose up

If you want to access the database in a mysql CLI, you can run the following command while docker-compose up is running:

docker-compose exec api-db mysql --password=mysql api_dev

docker-compose exec api python manage.py shell

docker-compose exec api /bin/bash

docker-compose exec api python manage.py recreate_db

docker-compose exec api python manage.py seed_db

Run the scripts/deploy_frontend.sh

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build
