Getting started

Openfish can be built from the docker images to run locally on your computer or to deploy to the cloud.

Prerequisites

You will need installed:

  • Docker v24.0.5 or later
  • gcloud CLI
  • Linux (Windows is currently untested but may work)

Steps:

  1. Setup google cloud credentials so your application can access the datastore:

    bash
    gcloud auth login
    gcloud config set project openfish-dev
    gcloud auth application-default login

    if the environment variable $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is not set:

    bash
    GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
  2. Build docker images:

    bash
    docker build . -t openfish-webapp -f ./docker/webapp
    docker build . -t openfish-api -f ./docker/api
  3. Run both containers:

    bash
    docker run -p 80:80 openfish-webapp
    docker run -p 8080:8080 -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/tmp/gcloud.json -v $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS:/tmp/gcloud.json:z openfish-api
  4. Open the browser and visit http://localhost.
