Building

To build this project, if you didn't build the CARDS platform itself locally, you must first gather the CARDS-platform Maven artifacts:

./get_cards_platform_jars.sh

Then run:

mvn clean install -U

Building Docker Images

Docker images for this project are built on top of a generic CARDS image. You can either download one from the github repository, or build a local image from source. In either case, the version of CARDS to use must match the version declared in the root pom.xml file as the cards.version property.

There are two sets of maven build profiles you can choose from:

• if you want to use a local, published, or latest image for the base CARDS project
• and if you want to build a production or development image

A development image will be slimmer, since it skips copying any of the built JARs into the Docker image, so it must be used on the same machine where it was built, using the local maven repository as a source for dependencies. Therefore, the resultant image should only be used with the --dev_docker_image and --cards_generic_jars_repo flags for generate_compose_yaml.py. This is useful for testing new code during development as it does not require a new Docker image to be built every time that code is changed.

A production image will be self-contained, and can be started on any computer, even without access to internet. In this case, the base CARDS image you use must also be a production image.

As for the base image to use, local will use a CARDS image built on the same computer, but with a version matching the cards.version property, e.g. cards/cards:0.9.20, published will use an image with a matching version fetched from our github package repository, e.g. ghcr.io/data-team-uhn/cards:0.9.20, and latest will use the latest image built locally, cards/cards:latest. If neither of these are right, you can either change the value to use in docker/pom.xml, or in docker/Dockerfile, or just once when building by overriding the cardsBaseImage maven parameter, e.g. mvn install -P production -D cardsBaseImage=ghcr.io/data-team-uhn/cards:0.9.20_apple-cert. The default is to use the local image.

So, to build a development image based on the latest CARDS image, run:

mvn clean install -P development,latest

To build a production image based on the corresponding published CARDS image, run:

mvn clean install -P production,published

Running

Production Mode

Using Docker Compose

Enter the main cards-deploy-tool repository (https://github.com/data-team-uhn/cards-deploy-tool) and start the project with:

python3 generate_compose_yaml.py --cards_docker_image cards/cards4lfs:latest --oak_filesystem --composum
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

cards4lfs will be available at http://localhost:8080 once it starts.

Development Mode

Using ./start_cards.sh

Enter the main cards repository (https://github.com/data-team-uhn/cards) and build the generic CARDS platform with:

mvn clean install

Then, start the project with (replace with the current version of this project):

PROJECT_VERSION=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT ./start_cards.sh --dev --project cards4lfs 

cards4lfs will be available at http://localhost:8080 once it starts.

Using Docker Compose

Enter the main cards-deploy-tool repository (https://github.com/data-team-uhn/cards-deploy-tool) and start the project with:

python3 generate_compose_yaml.py --dev_docker_image --cards_generic_jars_repo /path/to/cards4lfs/.cards-generic-mvnrepo --cards_docker_image cards/cards4lfs:latest --oak_filesystem --composum
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

cards4lfs will be available at http://localhost:8080 once it starts.
