reelr

What is this?

reelr is a lightweight, dynamic interface for a movie server.

Wow, that's great. How do I use this?

There are a few steps before we can start installing reelr.

1. Clone the project

   git clone https://github.com/elklein96/reelr
   git clone https://github.com/elklein96/reelr-api
   

2. Install some dependencies

   cd reelr
   npm i
   cd ../reelr-api
   npm i
   

3. A note on local development:

   • reelr UI was developed using the Angular CLI, and supports all CLI-related goodies.

     • The dev server (webpack-dev-server) is run using npm run dev
     • The prod server (express) is run using npm run build && npm run start

   • The architecture of reelr depends on the use of a load balancer in front of the UI and API. For local development, use your favorite proxy to serve as a load balancer for the UI (port 3002) and API (port 3001).

     • My proxy of choice is HAProxy
     • Use the included configuration file for running reelr with HAProxy

   • Make sure to have a MongoDB instance installed and running with the following configuration:

     • Database: media
     • Collection: movies

And that's it! Have fun!
