HoloFans API

Platform to serve Hololive information to community tools

Development

• Requirements
  • Optional, you can just run Postgres locally. docker and docker-compose to run Postgres and PGAdmin4.
• Have a gcp-key.json on project root
  • You may get this from your GCP Project, under credentials
    • Create Service Account
    • Create JSON key file. Rename it to gcp-key.json. Store it safely since it cannot be re-downloaded.
• Copy .env.example into .env
  • Change values for your environment
• Change values in ecosystem.config.js for your environment
• Execute docker-compose up or npm start on root
  • API is then accessible through http://localhost:2434/

Production Deployment

Set up deployment of holotools-api by using the following deployment methods:

• HEROKU Automatic Deployment using a Procfile
• Digital Ocean Deployment
  • or if you'd rather not deploy from local, and would like it semi-automated, use a webhook: https://github.com/adnanh/webhook

Digital Ocean

Setting up a dev user account

# Add user to run DB under
$  adduser holotools
$  usermod -aG sudo holotools

# Have SSH keys synced
$  rsync --archive --chown=holotools:holotools ~/.ssh /home/holotools

Setting up postgresql

$  sudo apt update && sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
$  sudo -i -u postgres

#  Create a new user in postgres with same username as the dev user (holotools):
$  createuser --interactive

#  Set it up with the holotools user.
$  createdb holotools

Now you have holotools user which can modify holotools database without pg auth.

For testing connections from outside, modify the pg_hba.conf for your postgres install:

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust

change the pg_hba.conf for localhost (127.0.0.1/32) from md5 to trust to give pg permissions. This allows SSH tunneling to log in to postgres.

To connect to postgres from external: set up SSH tunnel -L 9999:localhost:5432 or, use SSH-tunnel connection option bundled with any db administration tools (tableplus, pgAdmin4). Then use holotools user to log in. No db password is needed in this setup, but don't open up the db to external or security issues may arise.

Installing Memcached: Detailed Guide

$ sudo apt install memcached libmemcached-tools

This sets up memcached service at localhost:11211, well, it's not daemonized.
