• running behind gunicorn
• proxied by nginx
• serviced by runit

Other stuff:

Getting started

General workflow:

• develop and test on x86
• commit
• clone on ARM
• build / push the container
• kick off the service that starts the container

The container runs on port 80. Data is loaded on intial access and refreshed every 30 seconds.

x86

Use this for development.

git clone https://github.com/w-p/forecaster.git

# build the frontend
cd forecaster/frontend
npm install

# build the container
cd ..
make clean
make build-x86
make run-x86

# if you're me, push the container
make push-x86

arm32v6

Use this for your ARM box.

git clone https://github.com/w-p/forecaster.git

# just build the container, the compiled frontend is in the repo
cd forecaster
make clean
make build-x86

# if you're me, push the container
make push-arm

# start it up
cp ./forecaster.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl enable forecaster
systemctl start forecaster
