Installation, Use & Deployment

You can directly run the system using Docker. More information in our Aam-Digital/ndb-setup repository. In that case you do not have to clone this repository and install all the dependencies as everything is packaged into the docker image already.

Configuration

The custom configuration for your service instance is set in the assets/config.json file. You can copy the assets/config.default.json as a starting point.

Nextcloud (webdav) Integration

You can integrate Aam Digital with an existing Nextcloud server to allow users to update photos on their own. To avoid CORS issues the webdav URL in your config.json should be a relative URL in combination with a reverse-proxy that is forwarding to the actual Nextcloud server address:

assets/config.json:

  "webdav": {
    "remote_url": "nextcloud/"
  }

proxy.conf.json (for local development):

  "/nextcloud": {
    "target": "https://<your-nextcloud-server>/remote.php/webdav",
    "secure": true,
    "changeOrigin": true,
    "pathRewrite": {
      "^/nextcloud": ""
    }
  }

docker-compose.yml (for production server):

  environment:
    WEBDAV_URL: https://<your-nextcloud-server>/remote.php/webdav

Code Style

We use prettier to enforce a consistent formatting of code to make the project easier to read. The project is set up with a git pre-commit hook to automatically format your commits according to these rules.

Using Angular CLI

This project is built upon Angular. If you are unfamiliar with the framework and Angular CLI go check out the Angular CLI README or use use ng help. The following sections give you a brief overview.

Development server

Run npm run start for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding (Generate new modules and components)

You can use Angular CLI to add new code to the project. Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|module.

Build

Run ng build -prod to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor. Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve.

Build a docker image locally

Deployment on a server can be done through a docker image, our ndb-setup project provides tools and a starting point to run the system using docker. For more information about Docker, please refer to their official documentation.
