Demo Database

Windows, Linux and macOS

• Download and install MongoDB Command Line Database Tools.
• On Windows, add MongoDB Command Line Database Tools folder to Path environment variable.
• Download bookcars-db.zip down to your machine, unzip it and go to the unzipped folder from a terminal.
• Restore BookCars demo db by using the following command:

mongorestore --verbose --drop --gzip --host=127.0.0.1 --port=27017 --username=admin --password=$PASSWORD --authenticationDatabase=admin --nsInclude="bookcars.*" --archive=bookcars.gz

Replace $PASSWORD with your MongoDB password.

If you are using MongoDB Atlas, put your MongoDB Atlas URI in --uri= command line argument:

mongorestore --verbose --drop --gzip --uri="mongodb://admin:[email protected]:27017/bookcars?authSource=admin&appName=bookcars" --nsInclude="bookcars.*" --nsFrom="bookcars.*" --nsTo="bookcars.*" --archive=bookcars.gz

Copy the content of cdn folder on your web server so that the files will be accessible through http://localhost/cdn/bookcars/

cdn folder contains the following folders:

• users: This folder contains users’ avatars and suppliers’ images.
• cars: This folder contains cars’ images.
• temp: This folder contains temporay files.

If you want to run BookCars from the source code or install it on Windows or Linux without using Docker, proceed as follow:

• On Windows, install IIS and copy the content of cdn folder in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cdn\bookcars. Finally, add full access permissions to the user who is running BookCars API on C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cdn\bookcars.

• On Linux, install NGINX and copy content of cdn folder in /var/www/cdn/bookcars. Then, update /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default as follows:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name _;
    
    ...

    location /cdn {
      alias /var/www/cdn;
    }
}

Finally, add full access permissions to the user who is running BookCars API on /var/www/cdn/bookcars.
