A database of Holocaust survivor testimonies.
The Let Them Speak app consists of three microservice containers:
- lts-app: Let Them Speak Flask/React web app
- mongodb database for testimony metadata
- tomcat database for transcripts with Corpus Query Language search
This repository contains code for building and deploying the services in the previous section using Docker and Kubernetes. The bulk of the source code for the Let Them Speak project is the web application itself, which resides in a different repository, a submodule you can find in the ./lts-app/let-them-speak directory of this repository.
Note: Because this uses submodules, you may want to clone this repository using the syntax
git clone --recurse-submodules
Building the tomcat and mongo images require access to internal Fortunoff data. If you do not have access to this data, you do not need to build these images from scratch in order to run the containers, as they are hosted in a public Docker repository. If you just want to run one or more of these components, you'll probably want to spend most of your time in the ./kubernetes folder in this repository. You may, of course, customize the web app in the lts-app folder and its submodule without access to this internal data.
Scripts for building and running the front-end web application as a Docker container.
Scripts for building and running MongoDB service as a container.
Note: Building the images equires private startup data, but you can run the public DockerHub image.
Scripts for building and running BlackLab Tomcat app as a container.
Note: Building the images requires private startup data, but you can run the public DockerHub image.
Scripts for orchestrating deployment of all three microservices locally and on AWS.
