How to setup and run backend locally

Below are the advisable steps to setup a local MAC OS machine to run the revalidation back end services. Steps could be different if you are using a different operating system.

Request aws account from devops team and ensure you are provided with the following;

account id
user name
password
Access key ID
Secret access key
region name
login to aws command [should look something like aws ecr get-login-password | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx]

Prequisite things required to install

brew install maven
brew install docker
brew install docker-machine
brew install docker-compose
brew install awscli
brew cask install adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8
brew cask install java11

configure aws profile - aws configure using the info from step 1. [Related article https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html]
login to aws - [obtain this from devops as per step 1]
create default virtual machine - docker-machine create default --driver virtualbox
set default docker machine - eval $(docker-machine env default)
clone down <https://github.com/Health-Education-England/REVALIDATION-COMBINE> git repo
navigate to the REVALIDATION-COMBINE repo via terminal and then run docker-compose up. This command could take a few mins to reun whilst the images are automatically pulled down and the be service/s get up and running
Depending on which service you need to access from the host machine first you would need to get the corresponding ip address. e.g docker-machine inspect default | grep "IPAddress"
Populate local db by invoking this POST api <http://<IPAddress>:9000/gmcclient/api/v1/admin> in postman with Basic Auth and with following info

username: admin
password: admin

browse the service on the host machine [fill in acquired IPAddress]. e.g view the revalidation api <http://<IPAddress>:8080/revalidation/api/v1/doctors>
