Technical stack

This application was generated using JHipster 6.10.5 and JHipster Quarkus 1.1.1 (manually upgraded to quarkus 2.9.2.Final), you can find documentation and help at https://www.jhipster.tech/documentation-archive/v6.10.5.

### Build and deploy

Documentation to deploy your own instance is available here

Development

Install

The back-end requires Minio to store the PDF files. An easy way to install and launch Minio on your computer is to use an official Docker image:

podman run -p 9000:9000 -d -p 9090:9090 -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=admin" -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minioadmin" -v /media/data/miniofiles:/data:Z quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9090"

The back-end also requires a database. On Linux you can install MariaDB. On Fedora, you can run:

sudo dnf install mariadb-server
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation

sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE gradeScopeIstic;

The first run of the back-end must initial and populate the DB with fake data. To do so, run:

./mvnw quarkus:dev -Dquarkus.liquibase.migrate-at-start=true

It creates two users user:user and admin:admin. After that you can launch the back-end classically ./mvnw

Run in development mode

To start your application in the dev profile, run:

./mvnw

Building for production

Packaging as thin jar

To build the final jar and optimize the correctExam application for production, run:

./mvnw -Pprod clean package

To ensure everything worked, run:

java -jar target/quarkus-app/*.jar

Refer to Using JHipster in production for more details.

Packaging as native executable

Targeting your Operation System In order to build a native image locally, your need to have GraalVM installed and GRAALVM_HOME defined. You can use the native profile as follow to build native executable.

./mvnw package -Pnative

Keep in mind that the generated native executable is dependent on your Operating System.

Targeting a container environment If you plan to run your application in a container, run:

./mvnw package -Dnative -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

It will use a Docker container with GraalVM installed and produce an 64 bit Linux executable.

Testing

To launch your application's tests, run:

./mvnw verify

For more information, refer to the Running tests page.

Using Docker to simplify development (optional)

You can use Docker to improve your JHipster development experience. A number of docker-compose configuration are available in the src/main/docker folder to launch required third party services.

For example, to start a mysql database in a docker container, run:

docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml up -d

To stop it and remove the container, run:

docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml down
