SDMM Portal

This is the front-end for the capstone course of the edX Software Development MicroMasters program. The portal enables students to self-enroll in the capstone project, provision their repositories, manage their team, monitor their progress, and self-advance through the deliverables.

The frontend requires the backend sdmm-portal-backend service be running.

Development

• Initial configuration:

  • Create a localhost key:
    • Simple instructions.
    • Copy server.key and server.crt into <project-root>/ssl/.
  • Create a config file:
    • Copy sample.env into <project-root>/.env and fill in all fields. Make sure the .env file is never committed to version control.

• Active development:

  • Run two processes:
    • webpack --watch
    • node -r dotenv/config src/server/FrontEndServer.js

Deployment

• Install certbot (https://certbot.eff.org/)
• Generate a localhost certificate for development.
  • sudo certbot certonly
  • Choose option 2 (temporary webserver)

Deploy on sdmm

Follow the certbot instructions.

# Enable epel-release repo
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

# Install certbot
yum install certbot

# Generate cert
certbot certonly --standalone -d sdmm.cs.ubc.ca

# TODO Set renewal as cron/systemd job. It also needs to copy the new certs to /home/w-sdmm/sdmm-portal
certbot renew
