This service is responsible for showing the list of items that are to be sold by the RobotShop e-commerce portal.
This service is written in NodeJS, Hence need to install NodeJS in the system.
# apt update
# apt install npm -y
Let's now set up the catalogue application.
As part of operating system standards, we run all the applications and databases as a normal user but not with root user.
So to run the catalogue service we choose to run as a normal user and that user name should be more relevant to the project. Hence we will use roboshop as the username to run the service.
# useradd -m -s /bin/bash roboshop
So let's switch to the roboshop user and run the following commands.
$ curl -s -L -o /tmp/catalogue.zip "https://github.com/zelar-soft-roboshop/catalogue/archive/main.zip"
$ cd /home/roboshop
$ unzip /tmp/catalogue.zip
$ mv catalogue-main catalogue
$ cd /home/roboshop/catalogue
$ npm install
Now, lets set up the service with systemctl.
# mv /home/roboshop/catalogue/systemd.service /etc/systemd/system/catalogue.service
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl start catalogue
# systemctl enable catalogue
