This library is part of the DURAARK system and manages sessions and files.
A description on the provided functionality can be found in the report D2.5 Software prototype v2, Section 4.1.
The service depends on no other DURAARK components.
This service is used by the
The following instructions will deploy the SailsJS-based service which exports a REST API.
The deployment is tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Other Linux distribution should work too, but are not tested. Docker and Docker Compose are used for installation and have to be installed on the system you want to deploy the DURAARK system on. The following instructions assume that Docker and Docker Compose are installed on working on the system. See the above links on how to install them for various platforms. Git has to be installed, too.
It is also possible to install DURAARK on Windows and Mac users via the Docker Toolbox. Installing Docker Compose on windows is possible, but seems to be a bit of a hurdle. See this Stackoverflow answer for details.
Our recommended stack is to install DURAARK on a Docker-compatible Linux system or to use VirtualBox to install a Linux virtual machine on your Windows host.
On the host you want to deploy the service execute the following steps (assuming that Docker and Docker Compose are installed and working):
> git clone https://github.com/DURAARK/duraark-sessions.git
> cd duraark-sessions
> docker-compose up -dThis will deploy the system in the current stable version (v0.7.0) which exposes its API at http:https://HOST_IP:5011/ (http:https://localhost:5011/ if you did the setup on your local host).
The files you want to have available via the API have to be put into the folder /tmp/duraark/files. The folder is mapped into the Docker container as /duraark-storage/files.
To setup the environment follow these steps:
> git clone https://github.com/DURAARK/duraark-sessions.git
> cd duraark-sessions
> npm install
> docker-compose -f devenv-compose.yml build
> docker-compose -f devenv-compose.yml up -dThis will build the dockerized development environment. After building the docker container is started and you can access the service at http:https://localhost:5011. Changing the source code will live reload the container.
The files you want to use have to be put into the folder /tmp/duraark/files.
Run npm test in the src folder.
This library is running on NodeJS and provides a Dockerfile for deployments on Docker-enabled hosts.
We are hosting a public API endpoint at
which also provides API documentation for the current stable version.
