EECS Office Hours Queue

A simple, web-based queueing system for office hours. If you'd like to contribute, here's how to get a development environment set up...

Install Docker

https://docs.docker.com/install/

Clone the repo to your local machine.

Build the eecsoh Image

In the base directory of the repository:

docker build --tag=eecsoh .

Run a container

docker run -d -i -t --rm -p 8080:80 -e ALLOW_OVERRIDE=All -v $PWD/public/:/var/www/html -v $PWD/php/:/var/www/php -v eecsoh-db:/var/lib/mysql --name eecsoh-container eecsoh

Initialize Database

This only needs to be done the first time you launch the container.

docker exec eecsoh-container bash -c '/var/www/sql/init_db.sh'

Try it Out

That's it! Access the queue in your web browser at http://localhost:8080/queue.

Develop

First, install the local front-end development tools:

npm install

You can edit the source files in the help_queue directory locally. Use whatever editor you like.

If you edit queue.ts or any other Typescript files, you'll need to recompile:

npm run build

Open a Terminal inside Container

docker exec -i -t eecsoh-container bash

This might be useful if you need to e.g. access the mysql database directly.
