The spring-platform-samples can be run as a demo locally by just cloning the individual projects and running them. This project can be used to manage updating and deploying the sample apps to cloudfoundry.

Pre-requisites: the cf command line, Maven (3) and Java (1.7). Clone the repository and initialize submodules:

$ git clone https://github.com/spring-platform-samples/scripts
$ cd scripts
$ ./build.sh
$ ./services_deploy.sh
$ ./demo_deploy.sh

The result should be a bunch of apps running in the default space for your default org, with names prefixed by your local userid, e.g.

$ cf apps
...
dsyerconfigserver      started  1/1  512M  1G    dsyerconfigserver.cfapps.io
dsyereureka            started  1/1  512M  1G    dsyereureka.cfapps.io
dsyercustomers         started  1/1  512M  1G    dsyercustomers.cfapps.io
dsyerstores            started  1/1  512M  1G    dsyerstores.cfappps.io
...

The configserver and eureka apps will have been registered as user provided services, and bound to the other apps:

$ cf services
...
name                 service        plan  bound apps   
dsyerconfigserver   user-provided        dsyercustomers, dsyereureka, dsyerstores   
dsyereureka         user-provided        dsyerconfigserver, dsyercustomers, dsyerstores   
...

You can check that it is all working by pinging the eureka app endpoints and seeing the other apps registered. E.g. visit http://dsyereureka.cfapps.io/v2/apps in a browser. Other useful links for diagnosis and investigating what's going on:

• http://dsyerconfigserver.cfapps.io/customers/cloud
• http://dsyercustomers.cfapps.io/env
• http://dsyerstores.cfapps.io/env

The stores app comes pre-populated with a Mongo database full of Starbucks locations. The customers app is empty to start 9and uses an in-memory database) so you have to POST some data into it, e.g.

$ curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://dsyercustomers.cfapps.io/customers -d @customers-stores/rest-microservices-customers/src/test/resources/customers.json

Then when you visit the customers app at http://dsyercustomers.cfapps.io/customers you shoudl see a customer (Ollie) and a link to nearby stores. If the stores app did not register with eureka, or if you stop the the stores app intentionally (cf stop ...), then the stores link will be missing in the customers app (simple example of a circuit breaker).

Sometimes it is also useful to undeploy the services (and unbind them from apps etc.), and redeploy them:

$ ./services_undeploy.sh
$ ./services_deploy.sh
$ ./demo_deploy.sh

It should all work on Pivotal Web Services, by default, or on any Cloudfoundry instance (e.g. PCF or a local single VM instance) if you set the DOMAIN environment variable to the DNS domain that the service is running in.

To run on bosh-lite

Deploy mongodb using https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/cf-services-contrib-release

export DOMAIN=10.244.0.34.xip.io
export PLATFORM_HOME=/Users/sgibb/workspace/spring/spring-platform-samples #where all spring-platform-samples are checked out
export MONGO_URI=mongodb://192.168.50.1/stores #mongo running on host #TODO install mongo as a service
