Deployment

OpenPCM Server can be run via docker or you can locally build and run the application. Docker runtime is the preferred deployment.

Docker Deployment

Prerequisites

Docker

Docker can be installed on a range of operating systems.

Run

Once docker is installed. Simply pull the latest version of the application and launch it.

docker pull openpcm/openpcm-server
docker run -d --name openpcm-server -p 8080:8080 -e SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=dev openpcm/openpcm-server:latest

Local Deployment

The project is a maven project. You can launch the application from command line or your IDE.

Prerequisites

Maven

Download the correct maven for your platform

Java 9

This project uses Spring Boot 2.0 so we can take advantage of Java 9

Building

To build the project from source simply run "mvn clean install -U" in the directory with the parent pom.xml. The "-U" flag is not required but will update any snapshot dependencies that have changed in maven central.

Running

After building the source, you can now run "mvn spring-boot:run" and the application will launch.

By default, the backend application will run be accessible at: http://localhost:8080

Important

When building from source remember Spring DevTools is on the class path, if you change the code for any of the backend, the application will reload.

To disable this add a vm argument: -Dspring.devtools.restart.enabled=false
