• Docker (current LTS)
• Node JS (best installed via nvm)
• Text Editor
• bash
• Azure storage explorer
• An Azure storage account
• An Azure service bus account

Ensure you have set the AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING value to your azure storage account. From the repository root (this directory) run ./start.sh. This will create the necessary storage queues, storage tables and stand up a docker instance of SQL Server Linux and run all the migrations to create the MTC database.

You can now start the admin, pupil-spa & pupil-api applications individually.

There are 2 docker-compose files...

The default, which runs just SQL Server (main data store) and Redis (express session store) Stand up the database containers with: docker-compose up

Stands up the pupil-api, pupil-spa, admin app, functions-app, func-consumption app, and automatically runs the db migrations

Start: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-apps.yml up Teardown: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-apps.yml down

Once the full compose stack is up and running, you can browse to....

• http://localhost:3001 (Admin App)
• http://localhost:4200 (Pupil App)

• http://localhost:3003 (API)
• http://localhost:7071 (Azure consumption plan functions)
• http://localhost:7072 (Azure app service plan functions)
• Azure storage account tables, queues, blob containers
• Azure service bus

The MTC solution consists of the following projects...

• Pupil Check Application (/pupil-spa/) Angular SPA
• Check Administration Application (/admin/) Express MVC application
• Pupil Auth API (/pupil-api/) Typescript Express API Application
• Consumption functions (/func-consumption/) Azure functions run on a consumption plan
• App service functions (/functions-app/) long-running Azure functions to be run on an Azure app-service plan

See each projects readme for app specifics.

to build an individual docker image, navigate to the relevant app folder and run...

docker build -t <image name> .

where <image-name> is a friendly name that allows you to easily identify the image.
