Quick Start

Make sure the JWT Verification Key URL is configured, then you can run the server in a docker container or on your local machine.

Configure JWT Verification Key

Update application.yml. Set auth.jwt.publicKeyUrl to the URL to fetch the JWT verification key. The application will not start if it can't set the verification key for the JWTConverter.

The default value in the application.yml file is set to connect to EGO running locally on its default port 8081.

2. Create a Database: riff with user postgres and empty password

Database Migrations with Flyway

Database migrations and versioning is managed by flyway.

1. Download the flyway cli client here: flyway-commandline
2. Unpack the client in a directory of your choosing
3. Execute the flyway client pointing it to the configuration and migration directories in this repository.

Get current version information:

./flyway -configFiles=<path_to_riff>/riff/src/main/resources/flyway/conf/flyway.conf -locations=filesystem:<path_to_riff>/riff/src/main/resources/flyway/sql info

Run outstanding migrations:

./flyway -configFiles=<path_to_riff>/riff/src/main/resources/flyway/conf/flyway.conf -locations=filesystem:<path_to_riff>/riff/src/main/resources/flyway/sql migrate

Run Local

$ mvn spring-boot:run

Application will run by default on port 1234

Configure the port by changing server.port in application.yml

Run Docker

First build the image:

$ docker-compose build

When ready, run it:

$ docker-compose up

Application will run by default on port 1234

Configure the port by changing services.api.ports in docker-compose.yml. Port 1234 was used by default so the value is easy to identify and change in the configuration file.
