unifiedapi

unifiedapi is a http api which consists of both the contents of the koerby-API and the daft-API. Everything is proxied by nginx to serve everything on a single URL/port, and therefore provide a unified advanced programmers interface.

Prerequisites

Your computer needs docker and docker-compose installed. Furthermore you need to copy the data into the koerbyapi and daftapi directories (symlinks will not work).

Building the images

Build the images by invoking

$ make build name=koerby

and

$ make build name=daft

Save to export to another host

The command

$ make export name=daft
$ make export name=koerby

will save both images as tarball to be put on a remote host.

Import on remote host

The tarballs with the images can be loaded with

$ make load name=daft
$ make load name=koerby

Configure the proxy (optional)

daft needs access to the internet. If your server is behind a proxy, you need to set the environment variables for the daftapi service. This has to be done in the docker-compose.yml.

   environment:
      - "HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.uni-leipzig.de:3128"
      - "HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.uni-leipzig.de:3128"

Start the services

Open the docker-compose.yml in a text editor of your choice and enter the correct absolute path for the proxy/nginx.conf.

volumes:
      - ENTER_YOUR_ABSOLUTE_PATH_HERE/proxy/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro

Start everything up, by invoking

$ docker-compose up -d
