How to launch?

Set environment variables

The app is expecting the following environment variables are defined:

• PORT (Default: 5000) - the port the app is listening on
• THEATRE_API_DOMAIN - the domain of the theatre API
• THEATRE_API_TIMEOUT - response timeout of API
• THEATRE_API_SESSION_KEY
• THEATRE_API_SOURCE_NUMBER
• THEATRE_API_MOS - the mode of sale

Those can be defined either by exporting them manually (in bash export VARIABLE=VALUE) or by creating the .env file in project directory. For the latter option you may look at .env.example file with sample values.

Run using Node

Important

Ensure Node.JS is installed on your system

Install required packages by running npm install or npm i for short. Then run npm start to launch the app.

Run as Docker container

Important

Ensure Docker is installed on your system and Docker daemon is running

1. Get the image

# pull from Docker Hub
docker pull staleread/ticket-fetcher

# or build by yourself
docker build -t my-app:latest .

Warning

Building process involves multi-staging approach to decouple the build stages and make the size of resulting image as small as possible. This leads to dangling images (<none>:<none>) being generated. You can remove them by running docker image prune -f

2. Run the container

image=staleread/ticket-fetcher  # or your custom build name

docker run \
  -it \
  --expose 5000 \
  -p 80:5000 \
  --env-file .env \
  --name my-container
  $image
