# Operation Pandora Trigger Commandcenter

A [MEAN Stack](http://mean.io/) application created for [https://www.opt4.net](https://www.opt4.net) 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:

```text
./docs/opt-cc-environment/3rd-party-install.sh
```

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!

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

```text
./docs/opt-cc-environment/3rd-party-install.sh 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.

## Development

### Run and Modify Application
**NOTE:** Do not use the execution described here in any production environment! It will make the running application highly vulnerable.

Before triggering the environment execution run

```text
npm install
```

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

To compile the Angular code and afterwards start the Express server with `nodemon` for development purpose run

```text
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

```text
npm run deploy-static
```

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

## Run Tests
