Cloudy Time Machine Frontend Service

This is the frontend service for the Cloudy Time Machine (CTM) project. The CTM is a modern implementation of the Wayback Machine, the Internet Archive. This project was developed as a proof of concept and demonstration of a relatively simple real world app in a cloud native architecture.

The CTM Frontend Service is the web interface for the CTM project. It provides a graphical interface to request snapshots (website archivals) and browse previous snapshots. It is intended to be run in conjunction with the rest of the CTM services.

Install required software:

  • nodejs

Getting started

Clone this repo: https://github.com/cloudytimemachine/frontend.git

cd frontend

npm install

npm run dev

Open Chrome and visit http://localhost:8008/webpack-dev-server/ . This takes care of building the bundle and runs a local development server. The frontend service is served as a static site in production.

Contact Eric for any questions about configuring dev environment.
