[components] How to play with Grimoirelab components

[inishchith]

As addressed in last meeting, I will be understanding how grimoirelab components work and propose tutorials.
This thread works as a medium for doubts/discussion regarding the same.

@valeriocos @jgbarah Please do let me know in case I missed something out.
Thanks

An issue that I earlier faced regarding the setup of micro-mordred via docker-compose is mentioned below ( REF: inishchith/gsoc#3 (comment) )

---

Steps:

1. I used the config along with the mariadb service as I do not have a local setup for db.
2. executed:docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up
3. executed micro in another terminal instance:python3 micro.py --raw --enrich --cfg ./setup.cfg --backends git
4. tried : localhost:5601 for kibana dashboard

Issue:: The elasticsearch instance not instantiating completely and lead the linked kibiter instance a Request timeout after 3000ms, leading to localhost:5601 having no response.

• The solution that worked for me was to try adjusting the ES_JAVA_OPTS parameter in the environment attribute in the docker config file for eg. ( -Xms1g -Xmx1g )
• I reached the solution via this easticsearch forum discussion

• After following the process, i could produce some results 🎉

Dashboard - Git: Areas of Code

@valeriocos @jgbarah I've worked on a tutorial for micro-mordred ( elaborating the above steps ). Let me know what you think, I may open a PR for the same.

Thanks :)

[valeriocos]

Great, please open a PR. Don't forget to include a link to the setup.cfg and projects.json you used.

[inishchith]

@valeriocos I've linked them and added particular notes that I faced during the process.
Please do let me know after you've had a look.

Thanks :)
