Make sure to follow the corresponding deployment guide for BudLib API, which is available at https://github.com/budlib/budlib-api/wiki/Deployment-on-RHEL-based-distro.

React setup

  1. Make sure you have nodejs installed and setup on your system. If not, you can get nodejs from https://nodejs.org/en/download/.

  2. Clone the budlib-web repository from https://github.com/budlib/budlib-web to your local system

    $ git clone https://github.com/budlib/budlib-web.git
# mv budlib-web /usr/local/bin

  3. Navigate to the repository and run the following commands

    $ cd /usr/local/bin/budlib-web
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ npm install -g serve

  4. To start react server on port 80, install the dependency and give safe user permission to node

    # dnf install libcap-devel

# setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep `readlink -f \`which node\``

  5. Create a script that would start the server

    # touch /usr/local/bin/budlib-web.sh

# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/budlib-web.sh

  6. Add the following content in the file created in Step 5. Make sure to update the path to your installed node in the below content (node path our case the path is /opt/node-v16.15.0/bin)

    #!/bin/bash

export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/node-v16.15.0/bin"
cd /usr/local/bin/budlib-web
nohup `which serve` -s build -l 80

  7. Create a service file for the budlib-web, that would run the web server it on system start-up

    # touch /etc/systemd/system/budlib-web.service

  8. Add the content in the file created in Step 7, as shown:

    [Unit]
Description=Web Interface for BudLib
Wants=network.target budlib-api.service
After=syslog.target network-online.target budlib-api.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=$USER
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/budlib-web.sh
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
KillMode=mixed

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

    Note: replace $USER with your system username, or root

  9. Enable the budlib-web to run on system startup

    # systemctl daemon-reload

# systemctl enable budlib-web.service
