la-toolkit-backend

Development

Setup your config/local.js to something like, to test the .ssh keys generation, and assh config generation:

module.exports = {
  sshDir: '/data/la-toolkit/.ssh/',
  asshDir: '/data/la-toolkit/.ssh/assh.d/',
  projectsDir: '/data/la-toolkit/config/',
  logsDir: '/data/la-toolkit/logs/',
  baseBrandingLocation: '/data/la-generator/base-branding',
  preCmd: 'docker exec -u ubuntu la-toolkit-dev',
  ttydMinPort: 20011,
  ttydMaxPort: 20100,
};
};

The ttyd ports configuration should match the la-toolkit docker compose ports configuration.

Note: in development the container is named la-toolkit-dev (service under profiles: [dev] in la-toolkit's docker-compose.yml, started with docker compose --profile dev up -d). In production the container is named la-toolkit, and preCmd is empty there (see below) because the backend runs inside that container.

Production configuration

In production, the previous variables are specified in config/env/production.js:

  sshDir: '/home/ubuntu/.ssh/',
  asshDir: '/home/ubuntu/.ssh/assh.d/',
  projectsDir: '/home/ubuntu/ansible/la-inventories/',
  baseBrandingLocation: '/home/ubuntu/base-branding',
  preCmd: '',
  ttydMinPort: 2011,
  ttydMaxPort: 2100,

And match the directories of the la-toolkit dockerfiles.

Run sails

First an environment variable with your mongo db url:

export DATABASE_URL=mongodb://la_toolkit_user:la_toolkit_changeme@localhost:27017/la_toolkit

the user/password should match the values in your la-toolkit docker-compose.yml.

During development you can run sails with forever to easy reload with code changes

npm install -g forever
forever -w app.js

Or without forewer and watch just:

sails lift
