Liqen Core

This is the Core of the Liqen Project, the Wikipedia of Facts.

We offer you a couple of ways to install and deploy this application.

One-click Heroku deployment

You can use the following button to deploy the App in Heroku.

It will install and setup everything for you, i.e.:

A PostgreSQL Database (free Tier)
Elixir and Phoenix build stacks
Procfile
Autogenerated secure secret keys

When prompted, set the environmental variable APP_URL_HOST with the URL of your app (without the https part). Set it your own custom domain name or the heroku apps domain name.

This means that, if you are planning to use a herokuapp.com domain, you should choose your App name. For example if your app name is my-app, the generated URL will be https://my-app.herokuapp.com and you have to set the variable with the value: my-app.herokuapp.com.

Install locally using Docker

To install all and start the server

docker-compose up

Once you have all installed, make sure to create and migrate the database

docker-compose run web mix ecto.create
docker-compose run web mix ecto.migrate

Install locally in your machine

To run this application you need to download

PostgreSQL 9.4 or higher.
Phoenix Framework and its dependencies, including Elixir and Erlang.

Then, to start the app (in development mode)

Install dependencies with mix deps.get
Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate
Install Node.js dependencies with npm install
Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phoenix.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Deploy in non-heroku environments

Please check the Phoenix deployment guides.
