A Peer Mentoring System. Users can choose tasks given by mentors, and get their guidance in achieving the task. Students can learn how to do things (such as code), while mentors can get the help they need!
Made for the NTU SCSE Challenge 2020 by BLITZ from Nanyang Junior College. (Chan Zun Mun Terence, Ian Pua, Soh Ze Kai, Lucas Lim, Branda Ang)
- This is a React-Flask App.
- It uses MongoDB as the Database
- The sendGrid Email service would be used to send notifications to users
- The file upload system involves the local file system
#Use your package manager
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs npm mongodb python3 python3-pip
pip3 install flask pymongo sendgrid dnspython
cd client
npm install
To run client side code
cd client
npm install react-scripts
sudo npm start #sudo to run on port 80
To run server side code
sudo service mongodb start
cd server
python3 main.py
To use the APIs, put in the mongoDB URI and sendGrid(for Email Service)API Key in server/keys_TEMPLATE.py and rename it to server/keys.py
.env.development.local has disabled host checking, so make sure to change that for actual deployment. Its already done in the docker file though
Make sure to put in the API Keys in DockerImage/keys_TEMPLATE.py and rename it to DockerImage/keys.py
sudo docker build DockerImage
sudo docker run -p 3000 <containerID>
Check here for more help
cd DockerImage
sudo heroku container:push web -a <appName>
sudo heroku container:release web -a <appName>
# If any errors
sudo heroku run bash #Check the stuff
sudo heroku logs -a <appName> #View logs
You can put in mLab MongoDB free tier Database, along with sendGrid (free), to host this service for free.
- When using mLab, make sure to whitelist 0.0.0.0/0, so that heroku can access. Thanks StackOverFlow! However, the file upload system would be such that the files uploaded only last for a certain short period of a time, max 24 hours.
