Deployment of MetaExp-Software

run MetaExp

clone repositories

run bash script clone-repositories.sh
this will clone all repositories in ./src

run Docker compose

docker-compose -f compose-full.yml up

prepare data

open neo4j localhost:7474, user neo4j, password test, add some data
call localhost:8000/redis-import and wait
call http://localhost:8000/train-embeddings/DATABASE_NAME, the database name is in the settings for available datasets in the backend container (utils/config.py, AVAILABLE_DATA_SETS constant)

Issues

repositories are cloned in subdirectory src within the repository and the src directory is gitignored, that's nice for quick testing but also confusing, clone to external path?
neo4j data is also stored within the repository (neo4j_data) and the direcotry is gitignored, maybe store somewhere else?
Python backend has hardcoded URLs, get them from settings

TODO

move nginx out of interface into own container, easy to run from Docker compose
Python backend: get config from environment/file, mount config file on container run
create Docker hub repository and make images available
use with external neo4j
document how to load initial data set to neo4j
more error reporting: e.g. empty neo4j just crashes
