This is service for Small Victories that serves HTML pages created dynamically from a users Dropbox folder. The pages are retrieved from Redis after being stored there by the worker service.

It also contains the marketing website, Dropbox OAuth flow and help pages.

Design

  • Serve raw HTML out of Redis to incoming requests quickly.
  • Allow a user to authenticate and go through the Dropbox OAuth flow, catching and displaying issues to them along the way
  • Show a "waiting" page when the initial sync is underway

Hacking and Deploying

This service is written entirely in Go, so you'll need to download and install that.

You'll also need Foreman to start the application with the proper environment variables.

To configure the service, you can use the configuration example and create a .env file containing your credentials.

To run, you then use foreman:

$ go build
$ foreman run ./sv-frontend
...

To run the tests:

$ go test
...

To deploy:

$ heroku create -b https://github.com/kr/heroku-buildpack-go.git
...
$ git push heroku master
...

You'll need:

  • Heroku account
  • Heroku Postgres database
  • Redis add-on of some kind
  • Librato Metrics account

Use heroku config:add to add environment variables based on your various tokens from the above to create the production environment, as it is described in .env.example.

Shared Credentials

Keep in mind these credentials should be shared with the sv-fetcher, so you'll need to add the same environment variables there.

Contributions

Small Victories being open source is mostly educational, as there is unknown intent for further development.
