MyCargonaut is the community driven web app solution for private cargo delivering. It is a user-to-user based arangement service and works akin to an old-school black board.
In short, MyCargonaut aims to be a platform where users can offer to transport other user's cargo from point A to point B. Any monetary transactions, as well as communication will be handled between users; MyCargonaut will not take a single cent in cuts.
MyCargonaut was created in tandem with the THM computer science lecture 'Konzepte moderner Softwareentwicklung' as the big project of the semester 2020/2021.
My Cargonaut uses alot of different technologies to create a technologically interesting product. More on that in our wiki.
One interesting fact about MyCargonaut is that we are using server sided rendering for our services by utilizing JTE, a rather new technology.
For best results, the host machine requires a modern UNIX operating system. You will need gradle 6.7.1 or compatible
version, as well as openjdk15 or higher.
The client will only require a connection to the host system and any modern web browser.
MyCargonaut does not need to be installed on any client, since it's a host-rendering based web application. We do however need to set up the host machine:
Once all prerequisites are met, you will need to build the program with gradle. For that, move to the my-cargonaut
folder via the terminal and execute the command gradle build.
When the project has been build, you are able to simply run MyCargonaut on your host machine via the command gradle run.
You can then open MyCargonaut from any client machine. On default the address for that would be http://localhost:7777/.
We have managed to port a version of MyCargonaut to
Heroku, but do the JTE limitations, we were forced to abandon some features,
like persistency.
The branch can be found here. This branch is only used as a proof of concept and may not work as well as the master or development version.
Pull requests are welcome, but we don't plan on continuing the work on this project. The idea & icons of MyCargonaut came from the lecturers of the THM class "Konzepte moderner Softwareentwicklung" and are not our intellectual property.
