OslofjordRV

Setup

The monitoring process is dockerized through the Dockerfile and compose.yaml in OslofjordDB. But ngrok and request_listener.py (a Flask application) is not dockerized. After you have set up the project through the compose.yaml file, you have to set up ngrok and request_listener.py manually.

1. Go to the ngrok website and create a free account.

2. Navigate to your ngrok dashboard, and create a free static domain.

3. Navigate to OslofjordDB-API/db/scripts/create-event-trigger.py and insert your ngrok static domain for the webhook (keep the /new-request at the end).

4. Insert your ngrok authtoken and static domain into the ngrok.yml file in this repo.

5. Install dependencies:

    apt-get install snapd python3 python3-pip
    snap install ngrok
    python3 -m pip install flask
   

6. Start background processes (do in OslofjordRV directory):

    nohup ngrok start requests --config ngrok.yml &
    nohup python3 request_listener.py &
   

Usage

After the setup, the OslofjordRV component is triggered by the front end and will run in the back end.

To check on the background processes, run ps -ef | grep ngrok or ps -ef | grep request_listener.py. To kill the background process, use the ID you got from the previous command and run kill <ID>.
