A project born for my candidacy to 'Soluzioni Futura'

BassaDefinizione

BassaDefinizione is a project created for my candidacy for Soluzioni Futura. In particular, the path I have chosen is Movie Review medium difficulty and skills of web applications development.

Description

Through BassaDefinizione the user can:

• Look for a movie
• Like or dislike a movie
• Register and log
• Observe the user appreciation of a specific film
• Display the best rated films

External APIs

Any information on any film is obtained from OMDb API, through a GET request in which an identification key must be specified

Main NPM packages used

• Express
• Hbs
• Dotenv
• MySQL2
• JWT
• Bcrypt

Installation

Open the terminal and clone this folder

 $ git clone https://github.com/TheGodMorel/BassaDefinizione

Then install the NPM packages

 $ npm install

Connection to the database

To allow the creation and connection to the database is necessary:

1. Create an AWS Account
2. Create a new database using Amazon RDS
3. Connect the RDS database to a local one
   • The name must be the same
   • Enter the RDS database endpoint as the local database Hostname
   • Leave as port 3306
4. Now that the database is ready, proceed to create cloned folder in another folder called private inside which the file will go .env
   
5. In this file insert:
   • OMDBKEY: unique key to access the OMDB API
   • DB_HOST: endpoint of the RDS database
   • DB_USER: name used in the database
   • DB_PASSWORD: password used in the database
   • DB_DATABASE: name of the database
   • JWT_SECRETKEY: key to encrypt a JWT
   • JWT_EXPIRES_IN: expiration time of a JWT
   • COOKIE_EXPIRES_IN: expiration time of a cookie (used to save the JWT) For more information see this video ** Example ** of .env file:

      OMDBKEY = keyOmdbApi
      DB_HOST = nomedatabase.codice.eu-central-1.rds.amazonaws.com
      DB_USER = admin
      DB_PASSWORD = password
      DB_DATABASE = nomedatabase
      JWT_SECRETKEY = secretkey
      JWT_EXPIRES_IN = 90d
      COOKIE_EXPIRES_IN = 90

Local IP 127.0.0.0

Following these two simple steps the site will only be visible in the local IP 127.0.0.0

  $ cd BassaDefinizione
  $ node index.js

Creating an Amazon EC2 Instance

To have a global IP address instead, you need to:

1. Create an EC2 instance
   • Role: S3FullAccess
   • Inbound rules:
   • Security Group for HTTP and SSH
   • Define and download an SSH key
2. This should be the final configuration of the instance:
   
3. Move the file containing the SSH key into the folder BassaDefinizione In the example the file is bassadefinizione.pem

Link to Amazon EC2

1. Connect the folder to the EC2 instance via PuTTY
2. Run these commands to insert the BassaDefinizione folder into the instance:

      $ ssh ec2-user@ip-0-0-0-0 -i bassadefinizione.pem
      $ sudo su
      $ cd
      $ mkdir workspace
      $ cd workspace
      $ git clone https://github.com/TheGodMorel/BassaDefinizione
      $ cd BassaDefinizione
      $ node index.js

   Replace 0-0-0-0 with the instance's public IPv4 address
3. The site is now visible to the public IPv4 address of the instance

Future upgrades

• Change the password
• Advanced movie search
• Light mode
• Remove a rated film
