Developer Setup

In hybrid mode, you will run vets-api natively, but run Postgres and Redis in Docker. By doing so you avoid any challenges of installing these two software packages and keeping them upgraded to the appropriate version.

Base Setup

  1. Install Docker as referenced in the Docker setup instructions.

  2. Follow the Native setup instructions, but skip any steps related to installing Postgres, Postgis, or Redis. You will need to install the other dependencies such as pdftk and clamav.

  3. Configure vets-api to point to the Docker-ized dependencies. Add the following to config/settings.local.yml:

database_url: postgis://postgres:password@localhost:54320/vets_api_development?pool=4
test_database_url: postgis://postgres:password@localhost:54320/vets_api_test?pool=4

redis:
  host: localhost
  port: 63790
  app_data:
    url: redis://localhost:63790
  sidekiq:
    url: redis://localhost:63790

Note: If you have local instances of Postgres or Redis that were only for use by vets-api, you can stop them to save system resources.

Running

  1. To start Postgres and Redis: run docker-compose -f docker-compose-deps.yml up in one terminal window.
  2. In another terminal window, start vets-api as per the native running instructions.
  • Run bin/setup first to create the needed database tables.
  1. Confirm the API is successfully running by seeing if you can visit the local Flipper page.
