Developer Portal

Developer Portal website.

Docker Image

This website is available as a Docker image here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/silintl/developer-portal/

We recommend using that as the FROM in your own Dockerfile in your own private repo, where you would COPY into your own Docker image any custom files you need (e.g. your own /data/public/img/logos/site-logo.png, etc.).

Your Dockerfile should also run /tmp/install-deps-and-ssp-overrides.sh, since that is what installs the necessary composer dependencies.

Example Dockerfile using this as the FROM

# Change 5.0.0 to the latest tagged version or whichever you want to have
FROM silintl/developer-portal:5.0.0

# Install dependencies
RUN /tmp/install-deps-and-ssp-overrides.sh

# Copy in any custom files needed, which are stored in this repo.
COPY build/favicons /data/public
COPY build/logos /data/public/img/logos

WORKDIR /data

EXPOSE 80

# Record now as the build date/time (in a friendly format).
RUN date -u +"%B %-d, %Y, %-I:%M%P (%Z)" > /data/protected/data/version.txt

CMD ["/data/run.sh"]

A Note About Semantic Versioning

The environment variables that this code uses are (for the purposes of semantic versioning) considered this code's public interface. That is how backwards-compatibility will be determined. If a new version of this code is released that bumps the major version number (e.g. from 1.x.y to 2.0.0), you will probably have to change something about what environment variables you are providing when running this Docker image.

Environment / Project Setup

1. Install VirtualBox
2. Install Vagrant
3. Clone the repository:
   git clone [email protected]:silinternational/developer-portal.git
4. Copy the local.env.dist file to local.env, and update its contents appropriately.
5. Open a shell/terminal in the project's root folder.
6. Launch environment with vagrant up
7. Modify your hosts file per the instructions below.
8. Open browser and go to http://your-domain-name/
9. If you need to make yourself an admin, login first (to make sure your user record exists), then go to http://your-domain-name/phpmyadmin. Login with the project's database credentials, find your user in the user table, and change the role to 'admin'.

local.env reference

• SHOW_POPULAR_APIS (boolean)
  Whether to show the most popular APIs (based on the number of approved keys). If false, the file application/protected/views/partials/home-lower-right.php will be shown (which you can set the content of in the site_text table in the database).

Hosts file modification for running Developer Portal locally

Add one of the following lines to your hosts file (replacing your-domain-name with the domain name you want to use).

If using Vagrant:
192.168.33.10 your-domain-name

If using Docker directly (without Vagrant):
127.0.0.1 your-domain-name

Local API for development/testing

If you want to add an API to the developer portal locally, such as for development or manual testing...

1. Bring up the developer portal: make
2. Bring up phpMyAdmin: make phpmyadmin
3. Bring up httpbin: make httpbin
4. Log in to the developer portal (e.g. http://localhost/ or your custom domain name)
5. Log in to phpMyAdmin:
   • Go to http://localhost:8001
   • Use developer_portal as the username and password
   • Change your user record's role to "admin"
6. In the developer portal, add an API:
   • When logged into the local developer portal, click "Browse APIs"
   • Click the "Publish a new API" button
   • Use test as the API code name, httpbin as the Endpoint, "HTTP" as the Endpoint Protocol, and whatever you want for the other values
   • Click the "Save" button
7. Grant yourself a key to that API ("Actions" > "Get/Request Key", etc.)
8. Click the "API Playground" link in the header menu
9. Put /anything in the Path field (literally) and submit the form
10. You should see an API response (at the bottom) from the local httpbin docker container.

Troubleshooting

If you try to access http://your-domain-name/phpmyadmin/ and get the following error...

phpMyAdmin - Error  
Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!

... then add the following line to the end of vendor\phpmyadmin\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php:

$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;
