cog-server

A dashboard server to make easy managing running cogs within a CAIS.

Usage

Following either of the two methods (Docker or Natively), cog-server will be available at http://localhost:7777.

Docker

We make available a docker image that you can use, pulling it down Docker Hub:

docker run --name cog-server -d -p 7777:7777 bishopcais/cog-server

This image contains both a MongoDB instance exclusive for cog-server to use as well as the necessary components to run the server.

Within this repo, you can also build the image yourself:

docker build -t bishopcais/cog-server .

Natively

These instructions are for if you wish to forgo running cog-server through Docker and would prefer the bare metal. A requirement of this is that you will need to setup your own MongoDB instance. It is recommended to use MongoDB 4+, but 3.6+ should work (though is untested).

Setup:

npm install
cp cog.sample.json cog.json

Edit cog.json and point mongo to the connection details. See the documentation for @cisl/io#mongo for configuration details.

Then, run node scripts/create-admin.js to create an admin user to use.

Running it:

npm start

Usage with cog-cli

To have cog-cli be able to communicate with crun-server, you will need to configure it to use either the user that was created as part of create-admin.js or that you create via the Users tab on cog-server.

Then, within cog-cli, run:

cog config username <user>
cog config key <key>

To utilize the dummy admin user that create-admin.js makes, you would use:

cog config username admin
cog config key key
