WizRD Backend

The WizRD Backend is an application comprised of three different modules, which expose the following services:

Name	Port	Description
wizrd	8000	The Rocket Application that allows the frontend to retrieve data from the DB
wizrd-db		The database where the map and the associated graph are stored. Uses PostgreSQL, PostGIS and PgRouting
wizrd-pgadmin	8081	A PgAdmin instance for debugging purposes

The containers talk to each other through an external network named wizrd-net.

Bringup

A docker-compose.yml file that can be used to automate the deployment is provided for convenience. Remember to create the network before bringing up the containers.

$ docker network create wizrd-net
$ docker compose up

If you're using podman, just /s/docker/podman/ or alias docker=podman.

Debugging

If you want to run the application on your local machine (e.g., via IntelliJ) for debugging puposes, you should change the URL in Rocket.toml to localhost instead of wizrd-db, expose port 5432:5432 on the DB's container, and comment out the entry for container wizrd in docker-compose.yml.
