rishighan.com

Personal website built with AngularJS and MongoDB

Local Development

• Make sure your node version is at least 7 nvm i 7 and nvm use 7
• Install dependencies with npm i and bower i
• Make sure you have MongoDB installed and running on port 27017
• This project looks up configuration information from Redis, you can spin one locally using this image
• Define the following keys in your Redis store:
  • mongohost Mongo host IP
  • logglyconfig Loggly JSON configuration
  • googleapi Google API JSON configuration
• Provide AWS credentials in ~/.aws/credentials
• Start the backend using pm2 start rgapp-pm2.json --env development
• Access http://localhost:8080 in the browser.

Unit Tests

• npm test or testem ci

Docker Image

To build the image,

• Node.js and Angular app
  • In project root, run docker build -t frishi/rishighanangular_web:latest .
  • Then push it to Docker Hub with docker push frishi/rishighanangular_web:latest

Deployment

To deploy, simply push to master

The app is deployed via Wercker to a Digital Ocean droplet running a Docker host. Wercker configuration is found in wercker.yml. Note that Wercker does not build from a Dockerfile, so the steps in wercker.yml are exactly the same as the Dockerfile, with relevant changes per Wercker's nuances.

Note: Since you are dealing with unmanaged droplets when it comes to Digital Ocean, you have to be careful of how much disk space the docker containers use up upon each deployment. Create a task in /etc/cron.daily to prune dangling, exited containers to keep the disk usage in check. See here.

Analytics

This project is basically a blog with a homegrown CMS that integrates with Google Analytics API to fetch pageviews.

Addendum

MongoDB and Redis are deployed independently as Docker containers via Wercker as well. The related repos are found here:

• docker-node
• mongo-docker
• docker-redis
