# Operation Pandora Trigger Commandcenter

A [MEAN Application](http://mean.io/) created for [operation-pandora.com](https://www.operation-pandora.com) Arma3 Community


## Installation

All steps described here are working with a Debian based Linux system

### Setup required 3rd Party Software

#### Setup for development

Run the installation script located in the docs folder:

    ./docs/opt-cc-environment/3rd-party-install

It installs NPM, Node and MongoDB on latest versions.
In addition, it sets up the mongo deamon to start up automatically with the system.

#### Setup for production

**NOTE:** It his highly recommended not to run the following steps as _root_ user!

Before triggering the environment execution run

    npm install

inside the main folder, to process all needed npm package installations for the program execution.

For production setup run the script, described in _Setup for development_, adding the parameter `prod`

        ./docs/opt-cc-environment/3rd-party-install prod

This adds the [`pm2` process manager](http://pm2.keymetrics.io/) to be installed and start the _opt-cc_ server as `pm2` process.
Run the `sudo` command printed as last output to configure the `pm2` process for automatic start on the system, as the current user.

## Development

Before triggering the environment execution run

    npm install

inside the main folder, to process all needed npm package installations for the program execution.

Do not use the execution described here in any production environment!
It will make the running application highly vulnerable. \
To compile the Angular code and afterwards start the Express server with `nodemon` for development purpose run

   npm run dev

Any changes on `api` code will trigger an automatic restart of the Express server.

Changes on `static` code can be submitted with

    npm run deploy-static

The page must be reloaded after this build step is finished, in order to make changes visible.
