Building & Running

Prerequisites

• Docker Compose: On Windows, Docker Compose comes with Docker Engine. On Linux, it can be installed manually. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone Repo

2. Set Enviroment Configurations

• Create '.env' file in /wtm-express/ with the following:

MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=rootuser
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpass
MONGO_URI=mongodb://rootuser:rootpass@wtm-mongodb:27017/admin
LOCAL_MONGO_URI=mongodb://rootuser:rootpass@localhost:12345/admin
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=lamdb
PORT=3004
JWT_SECRET=pAonqkN/rorjS7sXd3ngJHXZJ8bjWVIMA9ZmJPRET8o=

3. Build and Start Project

docker compose up --build d

This command starts the wtm-mongodb, wtm-react, wtm-express containers, and establishes a network between them

Local Setup

1. Make sure mongodb container is running:

docker compose up wtm-mongodb -d

2. create .env file

cd wtm-express

.env file should look like

MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=rootuser
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpass
MONGO_URI=mongodb://rootuser:rootpass@wtm-mongodb:27017/admin
LOCAL_MONGO_URI=mongodb://rootuser:rootpass@localhost:12345/admin
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=lamdb
PORT=3004
JWT_SECRET=pAonqkN/rorjS7sXd3ngJHXZJ8bjWVIMA9ZmJPRET8o=

3. install dependencies and start server

cd wtm-express
npm install
npm start

4. go to frontend and startup servers

cd wtm-react
npm install
npm start
