Open Academic Environment (OAE Project)

Hilary is the back-end for the Open Academic Environment. The current frontend is at 3akai-ux but we're slowly building a new one, check it out: Cake

Take OAE for a spin

There's a docker image on docker-hub that works out of the box: https://hub.docker.com/r/oaeproject/oae-demo

If you want to build that image locally, you can do that by following instructions at https://github.com/oaeproject/oae-demo/

Development

Here are the quick instructions on how to get OAE set up locally. There's also a more in-depth step-by-step tutorial in the wiki.

node -v # make sure you have v16+
npm -v # make sure you have 7.0.8+

git clone https://github.com/oaeproject/Hilary.git && cd Hilary
git submodule update --init

# launch supporting servers through docker
docker-compose up -d oae-cassandra oae-elasticsearch oae-redis oae-nginx

# install dependencies for ethercalc
cd ethercalc && npm install && cd ..

# install and setup etherpad
cp ep-settings.json etherpad/settings.json
# edit etherpad/settings.json and change `oae-redis` and `oae-cassandra` to `localhost`
cp ep-package.json etherpad/src/package.json
cp ep-root-package.json etherpad/package.json
./prepare-etherpad.sh

# install dependencies for 3akai-ux
cd 3akai-ux && npm install && cd ..

# SSL certificate for 3akai-ux
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout 3akai-ux/nginx/nginx-selfsigned.key -out 3akai-ux/nginx/nginx-selfsigned.crt
openssl dhparam -out 3akai-ux/nginx/dhparam.pem 2048

# install dependencies for Hilary
npm i

# run schema migration
npm run migrate

# Run all servers: ethercalc, etherpad and Hilary
npx pm2 startOrReload process.json ; npx pm2 logs

Github Codespaces

In order to set up OAE on Codespaces, you need to follow the same steps as above. However, every time you re-create a codespace, you'll just need to re-run the services as follows:

docker-compose up -d oae-cassandra oae-elasticsearch oae-redis oae-nginx
npm run migrate
npx pm2 startOrReload process.json --only "Ethercalc, Etherpad"

# if you want to run tests
npm run test

# if you want to run the backend
npm run serve

Running tests

To run tests just make sure you have installed all dependencies (check wiki page on how to set up a dev environment) and run npm run test. To run tests on a specific module, just append its path as follows: npm run test-module --module=oae-principals.

To trigger a pipeline in CircleCI using the API, one needs to run the following (example for sequential tests):

curl --request POST \
  --url https://circleci.com/api/v2/project/gh/oaeproject/Hilary/pipeline \
  --header 'Circle-Token: YOUR_API_TOKEN' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"parameters":{"trigger_parallel_tests":false, "trigger_sequential_tests":true}}'
