Cannot install the front-end on the back-end debian server, instructions unclear

Hi Philippe-Arnaud, pia frontend is using Angular2-CLI. So Dr. Google probably is able to help you to set up an Angular2-CLI server. So did I to find out how to configure Docker to run pia and pia-back.

[kosmas58]

angular/angular-cli#1793 should give you some hints to setup an IP on your server and start ng-serve with that IP.

Hello,

When you start ng serve ( ng serve -prod) you have a folder named dist/ , use this folder on Apache server as a web app, you can define a link to your company.
on this application you can also define the API REST server address
let me know if you want more information
Thanks

Hi Philippe-Arnaud, an easy way to get pia and pia-back up and running is using Docker. If included the necessary configuration files into my fork of pia and pia-back. I've also send a pull-request to LINCnil to integrate them in the official version.
Kind regards, Kosmas

HI Philippe-Arnaud,

Indeed it's not easy when you aren't from the dev side or ops side, but it's open source and that's why it's not coming like an VM to be install and config.

Still thanks to @gjavault, we have a runbook for the backend part, maybe he can help us on the front End to get a step by step action plan.
In the waiting I am writing a Full Runbook, re-using the work from @gjavault, and putting some of my comment with screenshoot :)

thanks to the community for this app and work, let's continu to push as it will help a lot of people from the whole IT community.

HI Kosmas58,

That's nice, unfortunately my company doesn't use Docker (-sad-) so I am building it on a Ubuntu VM server :)
That's why I am looking so hard to get a runbook on "how to install PIA front end" in step by step ^^

[gjavault]

Hi, help from me ? Well ... oups ... I bled on the subject a day or two and wrote the runbook to avoid having to go through that again. And since it is an opensource project, I felt I really could share my part back. That's why I sent you guys my runbook. But my knowledge of the whole thing stops exactly where my runbook ends. The dev team in my company seemed happy with the result as it was ... so I stopped there. Neverthelss, if you can complete the runbook with the frontend part ... I definitly will be interrested ... FYI to the developpers of pia (and for all the devs of the world) : Please, for your next piece of software, write a runbook modeled on mine. Something with the complete list of working cmdlines in order to get (fast) a working thing right away. Or even better : an already done small working VM (virtualbox, libvirt and VMware format) with a small operational guide (a few cmds ... stop, start, restart, status ... and where the files are) If you want : I can send you guys an odt file with a few chapters as exemples, and the styles I use to make the "cmds" and the "comments" really stand out.

Hi back,

i am not so far to finish the things and populate to all :) but i am stuck on a point where is worrying me.
I don't know how to make available my PIA on my network.

The app work well and is accessible on my server with localhost:4200 ... now i don't know how to make it accessible to my whole company as ubuntu server isn't on the domain, any clue ?

[ylachgar]

Hi All,

I guess that wasn't completely an App issue as IP configuration on Network.conf was wrong :)
Thanks for the good help here, i am preparing the documentation for all.

Hello there !

Iouss you talk about a dist/ folder, where can I find it ? I succesfully build something with this command:
ng serve --port 8081 --host 0.0.0.0 --disable-host-check
I can access to the PIA app but I can't find a dist/ folder with all the stuff inside. Did I miss something ? Can you tell me more ?

Best regards.

@labanane34 dist folder is created when you run "ng build" command

Try the new installation script made by ppmotskula. At least on Ubuntu 18.04 it worked for me. You can install PIA software within minutes: #251
