Travelers journal

Fancy interactive log of visited places

Mapbox as frontend, with Node.JS backend server pulling data from PostGIS spatial database

To use Traveler's Journal locally

Databse preparation

• Create a user with username postgis_user and password password

• Create a db called travelers_journal and make sure you extend your Postgres db with PostGIS

• To restore db use the databse dump found in root/dump folder:

   psql -U postgis_user -d travelers_journal < dbexport.pgsql
  

Install dependencies

• Globally install Node.js with the binary for your system from: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

• Install Yarn (with npm which comes with Node.js)

   npm install --global yarn
  

• In root/server AND in root/src run the following command:

   yarn install
  

Crank up the server

• In root/server run:

    yarn start
  

Bring the GUI to life

• In root/src run:

    yarn serve
  

Voilaa, now you can access the app at localhost:8080
