A basic CRUD app for creating and editing UAlbany events
History-editor is a basic Rails CRUD (create, read, update, display) app for managing "events" in the UAlbany history timeline. This app is backend-only and indexes to a Solr core. The UAlbany History app provides frontend discovery and display for this data.
Run the app:
docker compose up
Navigate to http://localhost:3000/history-editor
You should be able to edit code in real time.
Building the history image for production:
make build
Restarting the service:
make restart
These commands don't work on Windows. For that you have to use the full build command:
$env:DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1; docker build --secret id=master_key,src=config/master.key -t history-editor .
Running the image in the background:
docker compose -f docker-compose-prod.yml up -d
Navigate to http://localhost:8081/history-editor
To stop:
docker-compose down
If you need another terminal:
docker exec -it history-editor bash
For Subject thumbnails in the History app frontend to be editable here, after edits are made, the config/subjects.yml has to be manually copied to the History app for changes to take effect.
There is an included backup process which dumps the sqlite to a CSV and adds it to the github repo. This uses the backup service in the compose file.
The history-database repo needs to be cloned next to the history-editor app.
This cron runs the backup.
