## Installation
## Check out Code

This is installed locally through normal git clone operations.

## Usage example (Manual)
```
git clone https://github.com/finos/traderX.git
```

## Run locally

There are a number of ways to run TraderX locally. You should choose the method you are most comfortable with.
- [Run locally manually](#run-locally-manually)
- [Run locally within a Corporate Environments](#run-locally-within-a-corporate-environments)
- [Run locally using Docker & Docker Compose](#run-locally-using-docker--docker-compose)
- [Run locally using Kubernetes](#run-locally-using-kubernetes)

## Run locally manually

In order to get things working together, it is recommended to select a range of ports to provide all running processes with, so that the pieces can interconnect as needed. To run this all up 'by hand' here are default ports which are used, and you can easily export these variables to your favorite shell.

## Usage (Docker + Docker Compose)

The easiest way to run up the entire system is using Docker Compose. This should work on your local computer using Docker Desktop / Docker Compose (tested on Mac Silicon) and also in Github Codespaces.

### Codespaces
If using Github Codespaces it is recommended you select an 8-core type machine with 32GB RAM to ensure all the components have the required resources to start.

To do this
* Select the Green Code menu at the top of this page
* Select the Codespace tab then click the three dots '...' and select 'New with options...'.
* Change the machine type to '8-core' and click 'Create codespace'

As of writing, personal Github accounts receive 120 free core hours per month for using Codespaces, see the most recent details [here](https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-codespaces/about-billing-for-github-codespaces#monthly-included-storage-and-core-hours-for-personal-accounts)

Once you have cloned the repository locally or once your Codespace has started, from the root traderX directory run
```
docker compose up
```
On first run this will build all of the containers from the project specific Dockerfile's and then start them in the correct sequence.

The Docker containers are configured via Docker Compose to connect to a shred virtual network enabling them to communciate whether running on your local computer or via a Codespace.

Once everything has started the WebUI will be accessible at http://localhost:8080 (even if using a codespace, the localhost URL will be mapped through from your local browser to the Codespace).

## Local Building (Corporate Environments)
## Run locally within a Corporate Environments

When building locally in your company, if you are using a corporate artifact repository, you might need to override certain settings such as mavenCentral() in gradle, for the Java projects.

The following are instructions to deploy all TraderX apps to your local enviroment using [tilt](https://tilt.dev) and kustomize files.

## Prerequistes
- Running [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) or similar
- Running K8s - [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) /[Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/)/[k3s](https://k3s.io/) or similar
- Install an [Ingress Controller](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/)
## Run locally using Kubernetes

Another easy way to run up the entire system is using Kubernetes (K8s), which using [tilt.dev](https://tilt.dev) also allows you to easily swap in locally built images. The following are instructions to deploy all TraderX apps to your local enviroment using [tilt.dev](https://tilt.dev) and kustomize files.

### Prerequistes
- Install and run [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) or similar
- Install and run K8s - this could be one of the following well know distributions
- [K8s with Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/kubernetes/)
- [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/)
- [Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/)
- [k3s](https://k3s.io/) or similar
- Install an [Ingress Controller](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/) - this will need to match your k8s distribution
- Install [tilt.dev](https://tilt.dev)

### Preflight checks

```
kubectl get pods
```

or
You should see the kube pods as well as your ingress controller. Example below:

Check your cluster is running using the epic tool `k9s` - https://k9scli.io/
```
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-admission-create-6rh79 0/1 Completed 0 38s
ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-admission-patch-f4kdg 0/1 Completed 1 38s
ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-controller-7d4db76476-7wfl2 1/1 Running 0 38s
kube-system coredns-7db6d8ff4d-ntdcr 1/1 Running 0 4h8m
kube-system coredns-7db6d8ff4d-ptfcs 1/1 Running 0 4h8m
kube-system etcd-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 2 4h8m
kube-system kube-apiserver-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 2 4h8m
kube-system kube-controller-manager-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 2 4h8m
kube-system kube-proxy-qt5z4 1/1 Running 0 4h8m
kube-system kube-scheduler-docker-desktop 1/1 Running 10 4h8m
kube-system storage-provisioner 1/1 Running 0 4h8m
```

### Start Tilt
### Start Tilt.dev

This command will deploy all the services to your local K8s environment.
Note: Ensure all the [pre-requistes](#prerequistes) are complete

After cloning the repo, you should `cd` into the folder (`cd traderx`)
```
# cd into gitops repo
cd ./gitops/local/
# Start Tilt
tilt up
```

Expected Console Output:
```
Tilt started on http://localhost:10350/
v0.30.2, built 2022-06-06
(space) to open the browser
(s) to stream logs (--stream=true)
(t) to open legacy terminal mode (--legacy=true)
(ctrl-c) to exit
```

This will download all the images and start them in your local k8s cluster.

Launching the tilt.dev local webpage will allow you to monitor the progress by pressing the space bar. Or use one of the other options from the console.

Note: if you run `tilt up` and you get an error stating `template engine not found for: up.`. Your OS might be trying to run a ruby library, please check the tilt.dev installation instructions, or you path settings.


### Start Tilt.dev

### Local Developement

With all the services running you can then chose which ones you actively build locally.

If you go to your local [Tiltfile](./gitops/local/Tiltfile) you simply need to uncomment all the lines, or just for the respective applicaiton that you want to work on. Those applications will be built locally and deployed to your cluster instead of the host images.
If you go to your local [Tiltfile](./gitops/local/Tiltfile) you simply need to uncomment all the lines, or just for the respective applicaiton that you want to work on. Those applications will be built locally and deployed to your cluster instead of the host images. For example. In your local [Tiltfile](./gitops/local/Tiltfile) uncommenting the line for position_service will ask that Tilt.dev builds the images and your locally built image is deployed in your local k8s cluster in place of the prebuilt image from the Github Container Registry.

```
# Uncomment lines to use locally built version
# docker_build('ghcr.io/finos/traderx/database', './../../database/.')
# docker_build('ghcr.io/finos/traderx/account-service', './../../account-service/.')
# docker_build('ghcr.io/finos/traderx/people-service', './../../people-service/.')

# docker_build('ghcr.io/finos/traderx/web-front-end-angular', './../../web-front-end/angular/.')
yaml = kustomize(('./traderx'))
print(yaml)
k8s_yaml(yaml)
```

### Clean up

Simply stop tilt and then run `tilt down`
