# linkpulse
|
|
|
|
A project for monitoring websites, built with FastAPI and React.
|
|
|
|
## Structure
|
|
|
|
A description of the project's folder structure.
|
|
|
|
- `/backend` A backend server using [FastAPI][fastapi], managed with [Poetry][poetry].
|
|
- `/backend/linkpulse` A python module containing the FastAPI application, database models, migration scripts, and more.
|
|
- `/backend/migrations` Migration scripts for [`peewee`][peewee]; most of this is generated automatically.
|
|
- `/frontend` A frontend server using [React][react], managed with [pnpm][pnpm], built with [Vite][vite].
|
|
- `/frontend/Caddyfile` A Caddy configuration file used for proxying API requests to the backend server via Private Networking (Railway).
|
|
- `/frontend/nixpacks.toml` Configures the frontend build process for Nixpacks, enabling the use of Caddy for deployment.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Windows WSL is **strongly recommended** for development. See [here][wsl] for setup instructions.
|
|
|
|
The following instructions were written for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the primary (default) target for WSL.
|
|
|
|
### Frontend
|
|
|
|
1. Install Node.js 22.x
|
|
|
|
I recommend [`asdf`][asdf] or [`nvm`][nvm] for managing this (although `asdf` is superior in my opinion, and it's tool/language agnostic). [Alternatives are available though](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager).
|
|
|
|
Assuming you're using Bash/Zsh & Git, you'll need to add this to your bashrc file: `. "$HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh"`. Shell completions are recommended, but optional. Refer to documentation [here][asdf-install] for further detail.
|
|
|
|
Once added, restart your terminal and `cd` into the project root.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
asdf plugin add nodejs
|
|
asdf install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs the version of Node.js specified in [`.tool-versions`](.tool-versions).
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If you use Node.js for other projects, you may want to install the version you need & set it as the global version via `asdf global nodejs <version>` or `asdf install nodejs latest:<version>`. If you don't care, `asdf install latest nodejs` also works.
|
|
|
|
2. Install `pnpm` with `npm install -g pnpm`
|
|
3. `cd frontend`
|
|
4. Install frontend dependencies with `pnpm install`
|
|
5. Start the frontend server with `./run.sh`
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Get local Caddy server working. -->
|
|
|
|
### Backend
|
|
|
|
1. Install [`pyenv`][pyenv] or [`pyenv-win`][pyenv-win]
|
|
|
|
- Install Python 3.12 (`pyenv install 3.12`)
|
|
|
|
2. Install `poetry`
|
|
|
|
- Requires `pipx`, see [here][pipx]. You will NOT have this by default. This is NOT `pip`, do not install either with `pip`.
|
|
- Install with `pipx install poetry`
|
|
|
|
3. Install backend dependencies with `poetry install`.
|
|
4. Start the backend server with `./run.sh`
|
|
5. (_optional_) Install the [Railway CLI][railway]
|
|
- Fastest installation is via shell: `bash <(curl -fsSL cli.new)`
|
|
- Alternatives found [here][railway].
|
|
- This will let us skip creating a local `.env` file, as well as keeping your database URL synchronized.
|
|
- You will have to run `railway login` upon install as well as `railway link` in the backend directory.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
A full stack (_frontend_ and _backend_), automatically reloading project is possible, but it requires two terminals.
|
|
|
|
1. Open a terminal in each respective directory (`/backend` and `/frontend`).
|
|
2. Execute `./run.sh` to start the development server for each.
|
|
- For the backend, you'll either need to have the `railway` CLI installed or a `.env` file with the database URL.
|
|
- See [`.env.example`](backend/.env.example) for a list of all available environment variables.
|
|
- For the frontend, the defaults are already sufficient.
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> The `run.sh` scripts provide default environment variables internally; if you want to run the commands manually, you'll need to provide them to `.env` files or the command line.
