InesData FE

Prerequisites

Install Node.js (https://nodejs.org/) version 18.3 or higher.

Install dependencies

To install all the packages and dependencies needed, you will need to execute:

npm install

Environment configuration

Before running the frontend, you will need to modify some backend configuration values to point to your InesData connector environment. Those are stored in .env file, and by default contain the following:

VITE_APP_BACKEND_API_URL='http://localhost:19193/management'
VITE_APP_KEYCLOAK_ROOT='http://keycloak:8080'
VITE_APP_KEYCLOAK_CLIENTID='dataspace-users'
VITE_APP_KEYCLOAK_REALM='dataspace'
VITE_APP_I18N_LOCALE='EN'

Running in DEV mode

To start the FE on your development machine, you will need to execute:

npm run serve:ui

The UI will be available at http://localhost:8090

Build a docker image to execute inside a container

To build the FE, you will need to execute:

npm run build

Then, you can create a Docker image:

docker build --tag inesdata-fe-app .

Or just run the application locally with:

docker compose up

In this case, the UI will be available at http://localhost:8090/dataspace/. You can change the port on which the application is running, in the docker-compose.yml file.

Running 2 instances locally

In case you want to have 2 UI instances running in your local environment, pointing to 2 different connectors, you will need to follow these steps:

Configure the Connector 1 FE instance:

1. Modify the .env file to configure the Connector 1 backend API URL:

VITE_APP_BACKEND_API_URL='http://localhost:19193/management'

2. Build the FE:

npm run build

3. Create a Docker image for the Connector 1

docker build --tag inesdata-fe-app-con1 .

4. Run the Docker image inside a container

docker run -p 8090:80 -d inesdata-fe-app-con1

At this point, the UI for the Connector 1 will be available at http://localhost:8090/dataspace/.

Configure the Connector 2 FE instance:

1. Modify again the .env file to configure the Connector 2 backend API URL:

VITE_APP_BACKEND_API_URL='http://localhost:29193/management'

2. Build again the FE:

npm run build

3. Create a Docker image for the Connector 2:

docker build --tag inesdata-fe-app-con2 .

4. Run the Docker image inside a container:

docker run -p 18090:80 -d inesdata-fe-app-con2

At this point, the UI for the Connector 2 will be available at http://localhost:18090/dataspace/.
