Dashboard

Start with dummy data

For development purposes you may want to start the API with some dummy data. Make sure you have setup your development environment like described in our developer guide.

Go to the root folder of the infrabox project.

First start postgres and minio with some dummy data as well as api. Run each command in its own shell:

./ib.py services start storage
./ib.py services start api

To run the UI you have to allow cross origin requests. For chrome first close all instances of it and run it as:

chromium-browser --disable-web-security --user-data-dir

Another way to handle cross origin is the usage of a reverse proxy to combine the api and dashboard http servers, e. g. nginx:

server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;
  server_name localhost;
  
  location / {
      proxy_pass http://localhost:8081/;
  }
  location /api {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/api;
    proxy_connect_timeout 7d;
    proxy_send_timeout 7d;
    proxy_read_timeout 7d;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
  }
  location /github {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/github;
  }
}

Now start the UI:

./ib.py services start dashboard-client

The dashboard starts up on port 8081.
