----No Docker, No Kubernetes start(used for development)----

Starting Flask service: 0.Go to service/OCPC

(FAST START WITH SCRIPT) Use this script to just skip steps 1-3

$ chmod +x start_dev.sh; ./start_dev.sh

(IF NOT USING start_dev.sh)

1.Activate the virtual environment

$ source myenv/bin/activate

2.Set environment variables:

$ export FLASK_ENV=development; export FLASK_APP=FLASK_APP

3.Start flask app:

$ flask run --host=localhost

Flask backend will be running on http://localhost:5000

4.If the database hasn't been created yet then run:

Open python shell:

$ python

And import the database and app variables:

$ from manage.py import my_app
$ from app import db

Create database:

$ with my_app.app_context:\
$   db.create_all()

Starting Vue service: 0.Go to services/ocpc_vue_frontend 1.Start:

$ npm run serve

----------Only Docker-Compose, No Kubernetes Build----------

Build/run container from image: 1.Go to root project directory

2.Run command:

$ docker-compose up -d --build

3.Create DB:

$ docker-compose exec web python manage.py create_db 

Stop Containers:

$ docker-compose stop
$ docker-compose rm -f -v

----------Local Kubernetes build with 'minikube'

1. Install minikube if not installed:

---To be added

2. Create a cluster on local machine:

$ minikube start $ minikube dashboard

3. Create Docker images if not yet created. every time there is a change those need to be updated.

$ docker build -t marto0o/flask-ocpc ./services/OCPC $ docker push marto0o/flask-ocpc

$ docker pull marto0o/flask-ocpc

And repeat thi process for Vue as well, but in this case we also specify the file, because we're setting a specific domain for the root API unlike when running only on Docker. $ docker build -t marto0o/ocpc-vue ./services/ocpc_vue_frontend -f ./services/ocpc_vue_frontend/Dockerfile-minikube $ docker push marto0o/ocpc-vue

$ docker pull marto0o/ocpc-vue

5. Initialise cluster

$ sh deploy.sh

4. Next, you need to update your /etc/hosts file to route requests from the host we defined, 'ocpcubes', to the Minikube instance. Add an entry to /etc/hosts:

$ echo "$(minikube ip) ocpcubes" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

5. Create db:

$ docker
