Development build

• To run this in development mode, you'll need docker engine, cc and openssl installed.
• Configuration of the server ip and fingerprint socket ip can be set on deploy/.env
• Valid .env variables:

# Where is the socket of the fingerprint devices is running
SOCKET_IP=192.168.68.112
SOCKET_PORT=8001

# Postgres password, user, and db.
PG_PASSWORD=this_is_a_super_secret_password
PG_USER=postgres
PG_DB=fingerprints
DATABASE_URL=postgres://${PG_USER}:${PG_PASSWORD}@database/${PG_DB}

# What's the ip of your backend? For LAN development check your ip using `ip a`
VITE_BACKEND_IP=192.168.68.112
VITE_BACKEND_PORT=8001

After properly setting this env variables, you are good to go. In the root directory of the project run

docker compose up

You will be able to visit the frontend by visiting the provided VITE_BACKEND_IP since both the backend and the frontend are running under a nginx container that implements only https.

Once the development containers are deployed, when you make changes in backend/ or frontend/ the container will automatically refresh the files and update the frontend or the backend accordingly

Production build

In order to build the production backend you'll need cc, openssl and openssl-devel installed in your system.

Configure the .env variables properly. Then run ./install and your deployment files will be under the deploy/ directory. After this, you can copy this directory and deploy it in any server by running docker compose up

Note: to copy a docker volume: cp -a /var/lib/docker/volumes/source_volume /var/lib/docker/volumes/target_volume and docker volume create target_volume
