Set up .env files

• create postgres env file by running cp ./postgres/.env.example ./postgres/.env
• create dcat_service database connection env file by running cp ./api/dcat_service/.env.example ./api/dcat_service/.env

To run Flask and Postgres service

• To force build docker images: docker-compose --build-arg MAPGL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your_mapgl_token> build --no-cache
• Run docker-compose up -d to spin up all containers

Frontend

• Frontend is written in Svelte an lives under api/frontend directory.
• The main entry point into the frontend is public/index.html
• CSS and JS are compiled by Svelte from individual .svelte files inside src/ and placed into public/bundle.[css|js]
• To (re)build Svelte, from within frontend directory, run npm install && npm run build, which will re-generate public/bundle.[css|js]
• To display maps, we use Mapbox, which requires an access token. Svelte expects it to be avaiable under MAPGL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable when running npm run build

Verify Postgres service:

• Run psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U postgres to check database content
• For first time setup: after postgres container is started, in MINT-Data-Catalog:
  • run docker cp ./postgres/dcat_db_tables_202012.sql dcat_postgresql:/tmp/
  • run docker exec -it dcat_postgresql psql -U postgres -f /tmp/dcat_db_tables_202012.sql to create all tables manually
  • check database for datasets, variables, resources tables etc
