Curtain Frontend

This project is an Angular-based frontend application that can be built and run using Docker. This guide will help you set up, build, and run the application in a Docker container.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your machine
• Git installed on your machine
• Ansible installed on your machine

Building and Running the Application

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/noatgnu/curtain.git
   cd curtain

2. Build the Docker image:

   You can customize the backend URL and ORCID APPID by passing them as build arguments. Replace YOUR_BACKEND_URL and YOUR_ORCID_TOKEN with your own values.

   docker build --build-arg API_HOST=YOUR_BACKEND_URL --build-arg ORCID_APPID=YOUR_ORCID_APPID -t curtain-app .

   Example:

   docker build --build-arg API_HOST=https://example.com/ --build-arg ORCID_APPID=APP-EXAMPLE123 -t curtain-app .

3. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -p 80:80 curtain-app

   This will start the application and make it accessible at http://localhost.

Running the Application with Ansible Playbook

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/noatgnu/curtain.git
   cd curtain

2. Run the Ansible playbook:

   Replace [email protected] and your-domain.com with your actual email and domain.

   ansible-playbook -i hosts ansible.playbook.yml --extra-vars "[email protected] domain=your-domain.com"

   This playbook will:

• Install Docker and Docker Compose using their official installation scripts.
• Clone the repository.
• Set up necessary directories.
• Start Docker Compose.
• Obtain SSL certificates using Certbot.

Dockerfile Explanation

The Dockerfile is set up to:

1. Use the node:18-bullseye-slim image as the base image.
2. Install necessary dependencies (git, nginx).
3. Clone the repository.
4. Replace the backend URL and ORCID token in the environment.prod.ts file with the provided build arguments.
5. Install Angular CLI and project dependencies.
6. Build the Angular application.
7. Use the nginx:latest image to serve the built application.

Customization

To customize the backend URL and ORCID token, you can edit the Dockerfile directly or pass the values as build arguments as shown in the build step.
