Cartographer is the open-source reference implementation of Sodal's Persona Graph model for agency management. Cartographer demonstrates how persona graphs enable discovery and management of identities and resources (and associated collaboration opportunities and risks) without the need for comprehensive controls or top-down policy enforcement.
Cartographer is a self-contained application that can run locally or on docker-compatible cloud infrastructure. Cartographer uses a Node/Express server that serves data via an API to a React client. The server stores data in a Neo4j graph database.
- Install Docker for your platform.
- Copy the .env.example file to .env
The default configuration uses ports 3000, 7474, 7687, as well as port 3001 if running the client separately
This terminal command will start the app and database. The first time it runs it will need to download files which may take several minutes.
docker-compose up
The processes will run in a single terminal window (they are color coded). You can view the front end by visiting http://localhost:3001 in your browser window.
To run a development instance of the client, open a new terminal window and run:
npm run devclient
This will launch a client at http://localhost:3000 that will use React Hot Module Replacement to show code updates as you work.
