groceries

Menu Organizer. Access here!

This code is meant to collect recipes for various meals and allow convenient management of those recipes.

quick notes

Groceries server and MongoDB are both on the FUJI server (159.89.229.227).
learnnation.org is the FUJI server.
If you get error Permission denied (publickey), you may need to manually run ssh-add ~/.ssh/fuji_groceries because changes not propogated to extant tabs, or ask Matt.
So I used iloveimg to compress the jpgs (did better than the elephant site) and then I used cloudconvert to convert to webp, getting even smaller results.

set up mongo

First install MongoDB. For me, the output of mongod --version is db version v3.0.4.

The following is specific to the FUJI server unless otherwise stated.

Config file should be located at /usr/local/etc/mongodb.conf and should have contents:

systemLog:
  destination: file
  path: /var/db/mongodb/mongod.log
  logAppend: false
storage:
  dbPath: /var/db/mongodb
net:
  bindIp: 127.0.0.1
  http:
    enabled: true

To start the daemon:

sudo /usr/local/bin/mongod --logpath /var/db/mongodb/mongod.log --config /usr/local/etc/mongodb.conf --dbpath /var/db/mongodb

To kick off mongo daemon on matt's macbook:

/usr/local/opt/mongodb/bin/mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

To restore the DB from an old backup:

mongorestore mongo-dumps/fuji-server.2024-08-31T12:26:08-04:00

or similar.

install

Since we are using NodeJS, I recommend installing nvm. Then install and enable node v11.15.0. The output of nvm which current is /path/to/.nvm/versions/node/v11.15.0/bin/node.

Then use npm to install gulp. The output of gulp --version contains Local version: 3.9.1.

Please refer to http://provemath.org/docs/install.html for directions on installing gulp and any dependencies. That website is for PROVEMATH, but things should be similar for groceries.

For our python backend, the output of python --version is Python 2.7.12.

To install python2 deps, use pip install -r requirements.txt, since we have the version info there.

build

Make sure you are using the correct version of node and gulp (see above) before running the build:

gulp

On the server, gulp may throw an 'operation not permitted' error when you try to build. This can be overrided with sudo:

sudo gulp

serve

This serves BOTH the front-end HTML/JS/CSS stuff as well as the backend Python stuff.

cd server-side
python2 serve.py
