First, you'll need to create a secrets.py file in backend/app. This file configures secret keys for use on the backend. That file should look like the following (before replacing the default values with your own secrets):
# For access to S3 compatible API
S3_ACCESS_KEY = "minioadmin"
S3_SECRET_KEY = "minioadmin"
S3_ENDPOINT_URL = "http://s3:9000"
S3_BUCKET_NAME = "agrippa-files"
S3_USE_SSL = False
# This can be anything - just for the auth tokens
AUTH_SECRET_KEY="bruh-bruh-bruh"
# For a MySQL backend database
DB_ENDPOINT = "mysql"
DB_PORT = 3306
DB_USER = "root"
DB_PASSWORD = "rootpassword"
DB_NAME = "backend"
You need to create a file called Api.js in frontend/src containing the backend URL, like:
export const BACKEND_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/';
if your backend is at localhost. This URL needs to be publicly accessible so that a user can reach it directly from his browser.
You will need to add a s3 bucket corresponding to the s3 bucket in secrets.py. With the built-in minio service, you can go to localhost:4000 and create the bucket in the interface.
There are two profiles: dev and prod. This repo is run using docker-compose --profile dev up or docker-compose --profile prod up from the root directory. The MySQL database will automatically initialize the first time.
In order to bring in data from an existing AWS bucket, use:
aws s3 sync s3://agrippa-files your-local-folder
assuming that the s3 bucket is called agrippa-files. You of course must have the AWS CLI, and uou may need to use aws configure to set relevant credentials and set the default availability zone (wherever the bucket is stored). Once it's downloaded, you can go to the minio console, create a bucket, go to "browse files" and drag and drop the interior folders.
For the MySQL data, you can use the mysqldump utility or another mysql client like DBeaver to first download the MySQL database as a .sql file. Then you can connect to the database (like via docker-compose exec) and run the backup file.
