ZEUS 2018, CEUR-WS.org](http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2072/paper10.pdf)\n\nCloudRef supports collaborative work and quality assurance of references.\nThe software consists of an Angular application at the front end and a Java application at the back end.\nFor the front end the [admin template \"ng2-admin\" by Akveo](https://akveo.github.io/ng2-admin) is used.\n\n![CloudRef Screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14543255/32387802-e67fa39a-c0c5-11e7-98bc-b69c441e4300.jpg)\n\n## Start using Docker\n\n1. `docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 jabref/cloudref`\n2. Open \u003chttp://localhost:8080/\u003e\n4. Use `maintainer`/`developer` as login\n\nThe user `maintainer` has full rights for merging references.\nOther users can just be created via the login form and cannot merge if the threshold of 3 was not reached.\n\nNote that the data is stored inside the Docker container and might get lost.\nTo connect a local folder (e.g., `D:\\CloudRef`) to docker, use following command:\n\n    docker run --rm -v\"D:/CloudRef:/root/CloudRef\" -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 jabref/cloudref\n\n### Local build and start\n\n1. `docker build -t cloudref .`\n2. `docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 cloudref`\n3. Open \u003chttp://localhost:8080/\u003e\n4. Use `maintainer`/`developer` as login\n\n## Installation\n\n### Installation of required software\n\n1. Install [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)\n2. Install [Java JDK8](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html)\n\n**Node version \u003e= 6.0 and NPM version \u003e= 3 required!**\n\nVersions can be checked with:\n\n```\nnode -v\nnpm -v\n```\n\n### Get application and install dependencies\n\n1. Clone repository or download .zip file\n2. Navigate into the \"frontend\" folder of the project\n3. Install dependencies\n\n       npm install\n       \n### Create CloudRef.sqlite in your users home directory\n\n1. Download the SQLite Command Line Shell (\"sqlite-tools\") from \u003chttps://sqlite.org/download.html\u003e.\n2. Copy `sqlite3.exe` into the folder where the database is stored `{USER_DIRECTORY}/CloudRef`\n3. Run `sqlite3.exe`\n4. Run\n```\n    .open CloudRef.sqlite\n```\n5. Run the statements from user-maintainer.sql in the sqlite3 shell\n\n\n### Start application\n\n1. Front end: run following command in the \"frontend\" folder\n\n       npm start\n\n2. Back end: run following command in the \"backend\" folder\n\n       ./gradlew run\n\nThe application is available at \u003chttp://localhost:4200\u003e and a Swagger definition of the RESTful web service of the back end at \u003chttp://localhost:8080/swagger.json\u003e.\n\n## Set role of user to 'MAINTAINER'\n\nA user with the role 'MAINTAINER' can additionally edit a suggestion for modification.\nFurthermore, he can accept and reject suggestions directly.\nThe role of a user cannot be changed through the user interface but in the database.\n\nPossibility to change the role:\n\n1. Download the SQLite Command Line Shell (\"sqlite-tools\") from \u003chttps://sqlite.org/download.html\u003e.\n2. Copy `sqlite3.exe` into the folder where the database is stored `{USER_DIRECTORY}/CloudRef`\n3. Open `sqlite3.exe` file\n4. Run\n\n       .open CloudRef.sqlite\n       UPDATE User\n       SET role = 'MAINTAINER'\n       WHERE username = {username};\n\n## Development\n\nWe needed to change the `basePath` in `DefaultApi.ts` as follows\n\n    protected basePath = location.protocol + '//' + location.hostname + ':' + location.port === '4200' ? '8080' : location.port;\n\nIn case you regenerate `DefaultApi.ts`, please patch this line.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjabref%2Fcloudref","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjabref%2Fcloudref","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjabref%2Fcloudref/lists"}
