Stubber

---

Self hosted web app for listing watched movies and rating them. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB

Requirements

---

• postgres db
• docker
• docker-compose
• tmdb api key

Setup

---

Make a copy of example.env and call it .env. Change the values to your own. Values you need not change are marked as optional:

• PG_DATA: (optional) mount path for container if you want to persist data
• POSTGRES_USER: (optional) user to authenticate as on postgres database (default postgres)
• POSTGRES_PASSWORD: change to a secure password of your choosing
• POSTGRES_NAME: (optional) only change if you want to use something other than the default "postgres"
• POSTGRES_HOST: (optional) hostname of postgres db, if using docker-compose you can leave it as default value
• POSTGRES_PORT: (optional) port you will expose on postgres (default 5432)
• DB_UID: used in case there are permission issues with the postgres container, you can determine your own UID by using command id -u
• DB_GID: same as DB_GID, find using id -g
• TMDB_KEY: for authenticating with the TMDB api, instructions on how to obtain a key here

To set up the frontend run

make init

Building/Running

---

• docker-compose up -d to spin everything up in containers, you can access the web UI at http://localhost:8080 by default. View docker-compose.yml for more information

Go App

• if you want to build/run the backend separately, use make build to build go app or make run to build and run with go.
• external postgres db is required.
• React frontend can be started by doing cd media-tracker and npm start.
• UI can be found on port 3000. Access it by going to http://localhost:3000 on your browser after running npm start.
• API is on port 9876. You can access it through the terminal using curl commands, e.g. curl localhost:9876/api/v1/movies.

Scripts

---

• there is a script to bootstrap the postgres database when first running stubber, run with the following command:

sudo chmod +x boostrap-db.sh
./bootstrap-db.sh

Troubleshooting

---

If building the frontend fails with response "react-scripts: not found" you may need to create the node_modules directory by running the following commands:

cd stubber-ui
npm install
cd ..

If nothing shows up when you navigate to http://localhost:8080 you may need to set up environment variables for the frontend. Run the following commands:

cd stubber-ui
cp example.env .env
cd ..
