This is the official backend source code for the Boss Arrival Time project of the lecture PIT at the FHDW university. This project represents our take on the Weasley Clock from Harry Potter. The Weasly Clock shows the whole Weasly family and there current location. We took this functionality and tried to apply it to our professors/dean.

The idea was, that we have an app for Android and iOS which sends the current location to a backend server, which could then represent the location on a maps inside a browser. To accomplish that, we build a NodeJS backend which provides an API to create a new user and lets the client update his/her current location. This location would then be send to the browser using WebSockets to provide a real time representation of the current location.

To run this server you need to have NodeJS installed and a MongoDB instance running. Also you may need to change some configurations inside the config.js file.

Finally, run npm start to start the server on the configured port.

Start the server for development.

npm run-script start:dev

Lint your files using eslint.

npm test

The repository includes a Dockerfile for easy deployment.

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t boss-arrival-time:latest .

# Run the Docker image
docker run -d -p 80:3000 --restart always --name bat-backend boss-arrival-time:latest

Using Docker Compose you can also run the server without the need to install MongoDB manually.

docker-compose up -d

You may want to build/run the Docker image with the environment variables (MONGODB_URL, ADMIN_TOKEN, DOMAIN)
