InstaList Server

This is the server-side for the plugin Instalist Synch. It holds a central database and allows clients organized in groups to access data.

State

This project was migrated shortly from BitBucket, since open source projects are more easily to maintain on GitHub. Here and there may be a reference to BitBucket. Please have patience until the migration gets completed.

Build and tests:

Structure

The project is split into multiple modules (also visible in IntelliJ):

• instalist-server: Project containing server side project
• instalist-comm: Classes for standardizing the communication with clients

Setup

System requirements:

• MySQL 5.6/MariaDB 10.0 or newer
• JRE/JDK 8
• an application server. We recommend Apache Tomcat 8

For building a connection to internet may be required for downloading dependencies. To start, clone the project and submodules and start building with maven as usual.

git clone https://github.com/InstaList/instalist-server.git
cd instalist-server
git submodule update --init
./gradlew build

For testing no database connection is needed since an in-memory database is used. For normal deployment the database must be prepared with connection parameters from src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml. The tables can be created using the SQL-script in doc/database-model.sql.
