tis.roncli.com

The site that allows users to search old Trax in Space 1 files. You can see this site in action at https://tis.roncli.com.

More generally, this site basically functions as a file repository. Azure Application Insights is used for logging. Files are loaded in via an Azure Storage file share, and any accompanying html that is to be displayed on a directory's page is under the corresponding path in the /node/html directory and is listed as index.htm.

Usage

This project is deployed into an Azure Container App.

If you use this for yourself, you'll want to go into the package.json and index.js files and the html directory, remove the tis.roncli.com-specific content, and replace it with your own.

You need four files under the following environment variables, which you can place in an .env file in the root of the4 directory. It should contain the following:

PORT=8080
NODE_ENV=production
APPINSIGHTS_CONNECTIONSTRING=InstrumentationKey=...
USE_AZURE_FILE_STORAGE=0

If you set USE_AZURE_FILE_STORAGE to 0, then the application will use the local files directory for files to serve.

If you set USE_AZURE_FILE_STORAGE to 1, then you will need to mount a file share to the /mnt/files directory. This needs to be done in Azure by mounting a volume to the container itself.

To run the application locally, set USE_AZURE_FILE_STORAGE to 0, have Docker installed, and run the following Docker commands from the root of the project:

docker build -t tis.roncli.com .
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --env-file .env --name tis-roncli-com tis-roncli-com
