A very simple app to receive requests on a single URL and forward those onto the appropriate page in the profiles app.
It is intended to work with requests from the NHS Choices site on the GP pages, using the id of the GP surgery from the referring page.
The application runs in docker containers. To start the application ready for
development (where changes made on the local host will be auto-reloaded into
the running container) run docker-compose up --build --force-recreate gp-redirect. Tests can be run inside a container via docker-compose -f docker-compose-tests.yml up tests. When a container has been finished with it
should be taken down via docker-compose down -v. It is important to remove
the volumes via -v so as to avoid issues with the contents being cached on
the docker VM.
Environment variables are managed by the environment in which the application is run. This is best practice as described by twelve-factor.
The defaults given below are for when the application is run for development via docker-compose, as described above.
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|

LOG_LEVEL |
