## Installation

### Requirements

- Internet connection
- Any Linux server
- [Docker][what-is-docker]
- [Docker Compose][what-is-compose]

[what-is-docker]: https://www.docker.com/

[what-is-compose]: https://docs.docker.com/compose/

### Steps

1. Create a new directory named `sophon` on your machine and enter it:
```console
# mkdir sophon
# cd sophon
```

2. Pull the `ghcr.io/steffo99/sophon-jupyter` Docker image:
```console
# docker pull ghcr.io/steffo99/sophon-jupyter
```

3. Download the `docker-compose.yml` file from this repository:
```console
# wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Steffo99/sophon/main/docker-compose.yml"
```

4. Configure the `docker-compose.yml` file following the instructions written in the comments:
```console
# vim docker-compose.yml
```

5. Start the Docker containers:
```console
# docker compose up -d
```

## Structure

The project consists of four parts:

- a **single-page-app** built with [React][what-is-react] (`/frontend`);
- a **web API** built with [Django Rest Framework][what-is-drf] (`/backend`);
- a **dynamic proxy** implemented on the [Apache HTTP Server][what-is-httpd] (`/proxy`);
- a **Docker image** containing a single instance of [JupyterLab][what-is-jupyterlab] (`/jupyter`)

[what-is-react]: https://reactjs.org/

[what-is-drf]: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/

[what-is-httpd]: https://httpd.apache.org/

[what-is-jupyterlab]: https://jupyter.org/

For more details on the underlying libraries, packages, modules and plugins used, see the following files:

- [`/frontend/package.json`][lib-frontend]
- [`/backend/pyproject.toml`][lib-backend]
- [`/proxy/httpd.conf`][lib-proxy]
- [`/jupyter/Dockerfile`][lib-jupyter]

## Development

### Progress

Development progress is tracked on issues [#20][issue-#20] and [#67][issue-#67].
Also see the [issue tracker][issue-tracker].

[issue-#20]: https://github.com/Steffo99/sophon/issues/20

[issue-#67]: https://github.com/Steffo99/sophon/issues/67

[issue-tracker]: https://github.com/Steffo99/sophon/issues

### Tools

Sophon is developed using [IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate][what-is-idea].

Metadata is included in the `/.idea` directory so that code style and run configuration are consistent across all machines used during the development.

Run configurations for *running the backend*, *testing the backend*, *running the frontend* and *testing the frontend* are included.

### Continuous Deployment (CD)

Sophon uses [GitHub Actions][what-is-github-actions] and [Vercel][what-is-vercel] for Continuous Deployment.

[what-is-vercel]: https://vercel.com/

[what-is-github-actions]: https://docs.github.com/en/actions

Docker images for the frontend, backend, proxy and jupyterlab are built by GitHub Actions **on each push to the `main` branch** of this repository,
and [automatically published][list-containers] to the [GitHub Container Registry][what-is-github-containers]

[list-containers]: https://github.com/Steffo99?tab=packages&repo_name=sophon

[what-is-github-containers]: https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry

A generic version of the frontend is build automatically by Vercel **on each push to the `main` branch** and **on every pull request** to this repository, and
automatically published to the [sophon.steffo.eu](https://sophon.steffo.eu) domain.

### Releases

Releases are created on each milestone and are available on the [Releases page][list-releases].
