WorkAdventure - Digitale Gesellschaft

Introduction

This is a fork of WorkAdventure (WA) specifically for the Digitale Gesellschaft Schweiz, forked because:

1. hosting on Lagoon
2. a couple of merges that have not made it into upstream workadventure yet

Local Development

1. run containers

   docker-compose up -d
   

   Important: WA brings it's own traffik reverse proxy which tries to bind port 80 and 443, if you have any other container or tool running that tries to do the same, stop them first.

2. verify containers running with

   docker-compose logs -f front
   

   wait until you see Compiled successfully

3. Visit: http://play.workadventure.localhost/

The local development enviornment has realtime compile & livereload enabled, means if you change anything on the code of the application your browser will automaatically reloaded (it will take a couple of seconds as the compliation takes a bit).

Common issues & Debugging with local Development enviornment

• The very first start of the containers can be quite slow, give it some time and follow the start progress with docker-compose logs -f (for all services) and docker-compose logs -f [service] (for a specific service)

Remote Development

This Workadventure instance is deployed via Lagoon and has the following settings:

• Deploy develop branch to https://front.develop.workadventure-digiges.ch4.amazee.io/
• Deploy main branch https://front.main.workadventure-digiges.ch4.amazee.io/
• Deploy each PR in a new test environment - just create a PR, the URL schema for the test environment is: front.pr-X.workadventure-digiges.ch4.amazee.io (replace the X with our PR number)

Deploy with Lagoon

This Repo is completely Lagoonized, the .lagoon.yaml will point Lagoon to use docker-compose.lagoon.yaml which contains the required lagoon labels.

As Lagoon needs to know the URLs of the other services it generates the autogenerated URLs by itself, but it doesn't know the cluster URL, this needs to be added via an global project level variable: LAGOON_CLUSTER, add it via lagoon-cli:

lagoon add variable -p [projectname] -N LAGOON_CLUSTER -V [cluster-suffix] -S global
