NOTE: Abandoned 🗃

This was meant to be the back-end of a service which served files and resources for a VR application. I abandoned it in a couple of weeks since the idea quickly fell apart.

What's VR Service

VR Service aims to be the indexing service of the VR videos

Compiling

In order to compile you first need to install all the dependecies.

Dependencies

• libboost
• libpq
• libpqxx
• libcppnet
• libssl-dev

To install the dependecies to COMPILE in Debian:

$ aptitude install libsll-dev libcppnetlib-dev libpqxx-dev libboost-all-dev 

Please note that the current version of cppnet-lib in Debian is version 0.11. You can download a precompiled binary of a newer version from https://goo.gl/Qxwf3X

To install the dependecies to run the program in Debian:

aptitude install libboost-system1.62.0 libboost-thread1.62.0 libboost-chrono1.62 libboost-date-time1.62.0 libboost-atomic1.62.0 libssl1.1 libpqxx-4.0v5

Running CMake

To install CMake and Ninja in Debian:

$ aptitude install cmake ninja-build

Setup files for a debug build

$ cmake -G Ninja

Setup files for a release build:

$ cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Building the program

$ ninja

Please note that if you had to download the binaries you need to setup one env variable, and pass another one to cmake:

$ export CPPNETLIB_ROOT="<path_where_you_decompressed_binaries>/cpp-netlib-build"
$ cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCPPNETLIB_PREFIX_PATH=${CPPNETLIB_ROOT}

Configuration

Configuration should be stored in /etc/vrs.conf as a json file. This is an example:

{
  "acquirer":"psql",
  "user":"vr",
  "password":"vr",
  "db":"vrdb",
  "host":"127.0.0.1",
  "port":5432,
  "requiressl": true,
  "cert_file":"/etc/letsencrypt/live/vrs.brue.org/cert.pem",
  "chain_file":"/etc/letsencrypt/live/vrs.brue.org/chain.pem",
  "priv_key_file":"/etc/letsencrypt/live/vrs.brue.org/privkey.pem"
}
