Ushahidi Platform is an open source web application for information collection, visualization and interactive mapping. It helps you to collect info from: SMS, Twitter, RSS feeds, Email. It helps you to process that information, categorize it, geo-locate it and publish it on a map.
This repository contains the backend code with the REST API implementation.
Head over to the Platform Client repository for the browser app code.
The shortest path to get up and running is:
- Install Docker Engine
- Install Make command (parses Makefile)
- Run
make start
The backend will be listening on localhost:8080.
What about the browser client application?
Once your Platform backend is running, head over to the platform-client-mzima repository to get the in-browser Platform experience!
You may use make start to restart the containers (does a full container build).
You may use make apply to apply dependency and migration changes to containers (without full container build). Note: this requires containers to be up.
To stop Docker containers run make stop
To take everything down (including deleting the database) make down will do that for you.
WIP: to run the automated tests ...
