blimp-io

blimp-io can manage one or multiple blimps. So far it only accepts JSON data, which it logs to the corresponding API-Key

Based on Node.js, Express.js, Mongoose.js (MongoDB), Socket.io, Passport.js (+Bcrypt) and Angular.js

Generated with angular-fullstack

TODO

• Create "data buckets" instead of attaching reports directly to a blimp
• Implement real-time graphing (highcharts-ng ?)
• Means of filtering / ordering / grouping reports and interpreting the data
• Cleanup styles / Switch to LESS
• Revamp Authentication Service in the Front-End

Project Setup

###How do I, as a developer, start working on the project?

• You will need npm and yeoman (Grunt.js, Bower)
• Inside the blimp-io directory do npm install && bower install
• Make sure MongoDB is up
• Fire up a local server with grunt server

###How do I make use of the generators for angular components?

You don't. The application has an entirely different structure now. The modules should provide enough of a template. Please refer to the angular-fullstack generator documentation

###What's the default user login?

Username: blimp

Password: blimp

This user will automatically be created at server start if the user collection is empty.

Server & Deployment

###What's the current deploy workflow?

GitHub commit hook -> Travis-CI -> Heroku (Autodeploy)

Switched to drone.io / VIEW BUILDS

###Generate a seperate deployment build

Easy.

grunt heroku 

###Alternatively: Service & Autostart

A service script is provided together with blimp-io; it assumes the usage of hotnode

nano init.d/blimp-io

Copy it to /etc/init.d

sudo cp init.d/blimb-io /etc/init.d/blimp-io
sudo chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/blimp-io

Use it to start blimb-io

/etc/init.d/blimp-io {start|stop|restart|status}
