Mentoring BPP Service

The Mentoring building block enables effective mentoring interactions between mentors and mentees. The capability aims to create a transparent ecosystem to learn, connect, solve, and share within communities. MentorED is an open-source mentoring application that facilitates peer learning and professional development by creating a community of mentors and mentees.

Setup Options

Mentoring BPP service can be setup in local using three methods:

As part of multi-container local setup with all other services and dependencies using Docker-Compose (Easy - Recommended)

A. Docker-Compose Setup Guide

Refer: https://github.com/ELEVATE-Project/mentoring-bpp-service/tree/dsep-hackathon/dockerCompose

Dockerized service with local dependencies (Intermediate)

B. Dockerized Service With Local Dependencies

Expectation: Run single docker containerized service with existing local (in host) or remote dependencies.

• Clone the Mentoring BPP service repository.

  git clone https://github.com/ELEVATE-Project/mentoring-bpp-service.git

Local Dependencies Steps

1. Update dependency (Mongo, Kafka etc) IP addresses in .env with "host.docker.internal".

   Eg:

   #MongoDb Connectivity Url
   MONGODB_URL = mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/dsep-mentoring
   #Kafka Host Server URL
   KAFKA_URL = host.docker.external:9092
   #Mentoring service URI
   MENTORING_URI= host.docker.external:3000/mentoring

2. Build the docker image.

   /ELEVATE/mentoring-bpp-service$ docker build -t elevate/mentoring-bpp:1.0 .

3. Run the docker container.

   • For Mac & Windows with docker v18.03+:

     $ docker run --name mentoring-bpp:1.0 elevate/mentoring-bpp:1.0

   • For Linux:

     $ docker run --name mentoring-bpp --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway elevate/mentoring-bpp:1.0`

     Refer this for more information.

Remote Dependencies Steps

1. Update dependency (Mongo, Kafka etc) Ip addresses in .env with respective remote server IPs.

   Eg:

   #Elastic Search Server URL
   ELASTIC_NODE = 10.1.2.34:9200
   #Kafka Host Server URL
   KAFKA_URL = 11.2.3.45:9092
   #Mentoring service URI
   MENTORING_URI= dev.elevate-apis.shikshalokam.org/mentoring

2. Build the docker image.

   /ELEVATE/mentoring-bpp-service$ docker build -t elevate/mentoring-bpp:1.0 .

3. Run the docker container.

   $ docker run --name elevate/mentoring-bpp:1.0 elevate/mentoring-bpp:1.0 .

Local Service with local dependencies (Hard)

C. Local Service With Local Dependencies

Expectation: Run a single service with existing local dependencies in the host (Non-Docker Implementation).

Steps

1. Install required tools & dependencies

   Install any IDE (eg: VScode)

   Install Nodejs: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

   Install Kafka: https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart

   Install MongoDB: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/

   Install Robo-3T: ​​ https://robomongo.org/

2. Clone the Mentoring BPP service repository.

   git clone https://github.com/ELEVATE-Project/mentoring-bpp-service.git

3. Add .env file to the project directory

   Create a **.env** file in **src** directory of the project and copy these environment variables into it.
