Deployment

There are two ways to get Polyglot running: Docker based setup and native setup.

  • Docker is easier to install, but required more resources. Database and Webservice are deployed as individual containers.
  • Native setup integrates into an existing mysql and tomcat installation and therefore consumes fewer resources.

Either way, first step is to clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/kartoffelquadrat/Polyglot.git
cd Polyglot

Don't forget to change the default DB password in the *.sql scripts and *.properties files.

Docker

  • Build and deploy the containters:
docker-compose up

Native

  • Prepare your existing mySQL database. Use below commands or the provided script:
    mysql -u root -p
USE mysql;
CREATE USER 'polyglot'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'loh8eeTooj0i';
CREATE DATABASE polyglot;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON polyglot.* TO 'polyglot'@'localhost';

  • Build the Polyglot war file:
    mvn clean package

  • Deploy target/polyglot.war to your application server.

  • Access the web-frontend.
