Acme Air in NodeJS

An implementation of the Acme Air sample application for NodeJS. This implementation is a monolithic mode & supports Mongo DB (both standalone & Compose Mongo DB). The application can be deployed both on-prem as well as on Cloud platforms.

Setup

Setup DB

• First, create a Compost account, then create a Mongo DB Deployment (It is a paid service with 30 days free trial)
• Create a database with the name "acmeair"
• get these information:
  • "hostname
  • "port"
  • "db"
  • "username"
  • "password"

For CF

• ibmcloud cf push acme-node-myname -m 512M

Add these environment variables and restage

• MONGO_MANUAL : true
• MONGO_HOST :
• MONGO_PORT :
• MONGO_DBNAME :
• MONGO_USER :
• MONGO_PASSWORD :

(Alternative) Create user provided DB Service

• Create a string using Compose database information:

  • "url": "mongodb://username:password@hostname:port/db"
  • e.g. mongodb://acmeuser:password@myServer.dblayer.com:27017/acmeair

• Use CF command to create DB:

  • cf cups mongodbCompose -p "url"
  • At the URL prompt, enter above URL that was created:
  • url>mongodb://acmeuser:password@myServer.dblayer.com:27017/acmeair

• On IBM Cloud Dasboard, bind the created mongodbCompose service to Acmeair

  • restage/restart Acmeair application

For Kubernetes Services

• docker build -f ./Dockerfile_KS -t registry.REGION.bluemix.net/NAMESPACE/IMAGENAME .
• docker push registry.REGION.bluemix.net/NAMESPACE/IMAGENAME
• Modify acmeair-monolithic-nodejs.yaml to add registry.REGION.bluemix.net/NAMESPACE/IMAGENAME as the image name
• Modify acmeair-monolithic-nodejs.yaml to add DB connection information (Note: If there is no user setup for this DB, REMOVE MONGO_USER & MONGO_PASSWORD entries)
• kubectl create -f ./acmeair-monolithic-node.s.yaml

Database loading

• Go to the home page http://hostname:port
• At the bottom of the page, click the link : Configure the Acme Air Environment > Click Load the database
