building

To build, download the docker build container that has all of the build dependencies. You can then run the container to build your local source code.

1. Clone the github source directory

2. Rename token.properties.docker to token.properties in the source directory

3. Rename topcoder_global.properties.docker to topcoder_global.properties

4. Unzip jboss-4.2.3.zip in your root source directory. The build will place jboss deployment files here. It also needs some of its libraries for the build itself.

5. Run the docker container to execute a build. The format of the command is docker run --rm=true -v <source dir>:/data -t appiriodevops/tc-direct-app-build <ant target(s)>.

   For example, docker run --rm=true -v /Users/james/dev/topcoder/direct-app:/data -t appiriodevops/tc-direct-app-build clean package-direct deploy-prod

NOTE: the source directory should be writeable to Docker so use a directory under /Users/<username>

running locally

In this configuration, we'll run the direct app in a docker container locally but it unfortunately requires many dependencies so we'll need to run several containers and connect to the dev database. To run, follow these steps.

NOTE: it is assumed you are running with the latest Docker toolbox and Docker compose (1.5+)

1. Add this entry to your local /etc/hosts file: <docker ip> docker.topcoder-dev.com. This is needed for auth integration that requires the same top level domain. You can get the docker ip with the command docker-machine ip default
2. Set the following environment variables:

• TC_DEV_NAT_DIR : Local directory containing the pem file for accessing the dev NAT instance (used to create a tunnel to the dev informix instances)
• TC_DIRECT_SRC_HOME : Local directory for the root direct-app directory

3. Run docker-compose up from the docker subdirectory containing the docker-compose.yml file

   This will start the app with an endpoint available on port 443. You can now go to https://docker.topcoder-dev.com/direct/enterpriseDashboard/activeContests.action

NOTE: the SSL certificate is self-signed as will generate a warning/error when you access the site for the first time. Just accept it and continue.
