Cannot get the application to run

[dennisdebel]

Dear!
I am totally new with Docker and many of the technologies used here, sorry for that, trying to learn. I feel I got pretty far but still cannot run the image. What I did: adding to requirements.txt > 'networkx==3.1' (somehow the python version does not match with the latest networkx). Installing NVIDIA Container Toolkit, PostgreSQL (and making a database, user with password), making a new Firebase bucket and adding all credentials (and json) to the .env file (btw what is the SECRET_KEY, this is deprecated in firebase).

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

1. What to actually put in the .env file?
2. Any other files to edit?
3. How to actually run the image after building?
4. I see firebase_admin gets installed, does this mean you will run a local firebase instance or is this just a interface to google firebase?
5. The frontend crashes, see:

translation-app-frontend  | yarn run v1.22.19
translation-app-frontend  | $ next dev
translation-app-frontend  | /bin/sh: 1: next: not found
translation-app-frontend  | error Command failed with exit code 127.
translation-app-frontend  | info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.
translation-app-frontend exited with code 127

6. The backend complains about module 'postgresql' not found. If I add postgresql to requirements.txt the error message also happens but now complains 'example' is not found. Im at a loss here. See:

translation-app-backend   | ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'postgresql'

Solved the 'postgresql' isn't an available database backend or couldn't be imported. error by hard-coding the database engine in `Backend/services/settings.py' like so:

DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2",
        "NAME": os.environ.get("DATABASE_NAME"),
        "USER": os.environ.get("DATABASE_USER"),
        "PASSWORD": os.environ.get("DATABASE_PASSWORD"),
        "HOST": os.environ.get("DATABASE_HOST"),
        "PORT": os.environ.get("DATABASE_PORT")
    }
}

Now I get the error that the database 'localhost' can not be found, which is correct. Somehow the settings in .env are not reaching this settings.py. Will hardcode the database name for now and do further testing.

Hi @dennisdebel,
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry for the late reply. Looks like you're having problems with the .env file, firebase storage, and the PostgreSQL database. Let me clarify a little bit for you.

• If you got stuck in trying to run a localhost PostgreSQL server. You can try online hosting PostgreSQL database services. For example: Supabase. You can easily create an account and host a project. Then, go to the project setting and find all the related attributes needed for the .env file.
• If you face any further problems with Docker, there's another way to run the project. Just install the Frontend (FE) and the Backend (BE) separately by following the instructions in the FE README and BE README files. (to run FE, I think you can try to install npm first, then remember to keep an eye on the HOST URL configuration at Frontend/app/components/config.ts).
• Firebase: in this project, we use Firebase as an interface to Google Firebase cloud storage.

About the .env file, I will explain the first 3 attributes:

• CREDENTIAL_JSON_FILE_NAME: contains the path to the credential JSON file that you get from configuring Firebase cloud storage for your purpose.
• STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME: This attribute specifies the name of a storage bucket to store files on Firebase cloud storage (in this project, we use it to store user's avatars, and their uploaded pdf files). Of course, you can find it in the project's setting on Google Cloud Console. it might be something like “my-awesome-bucket.”
• SECRET_KEY: a Django project secret key.

I hope this will help you explore our repo.
If you have any concerns regarding our repository, feel free to ask, and we’ll do our utmost to assist you!

Thank you for the reply! I think I have the back-running after hard coding my .env variables in settings.py, all running locally (except firebase).

The frontend is still an issue. After manually installing nvm, node, npm, yarn, next, react, react-dom and fixing the dependency issues by adding the missing peer dependencies to package.json. The frontend installation does not work. Trying to build it manually in the dir reveals the possible error:

When running (as suggested to fix the BUILD_ID not found error below):

npm install
npm run build

I get the following error:

./app/history/page.tsx
73:33  Error: Missing "key" prop for element in iterator  react/jsx-key
112:37  Error: Missing "key" prop for element in iterator  react/jsx-key

/app/history/page.tsx code looks a bit weird and cant spot the error unfortunately

@nbtin Thank you so much for you instructions and explanation! I gave up using Docker and now running the frontend and backend seperately. The frontend seems to be working fine from the instructions in the Readme.md. Thank you so much for your time!

Two questions issues at the moment:

1. In the .env file, How to get/set the SECRET_KEY: a Django project secret key?

2. Getting the backend to work ends at this step python3 manage.py makemigrations account translation when I get the following errors:

(env) user@userpc:~/Documents/translation_layoutrecovery/Backend$ python3 manage.py makemigrations account translation

Thanks for your response before. As for the problems with next, the solution I indicated in error 2 #11 (modify docker-compose) seems to work. On the other hand, regarding your last question:

1. You can generate a key for django here https://djecrety.ir/
2. The error you have with the certificates seems to indicate that you have not configured the .env file correctly. You have to generate a private key in firebase (json file) and paste it in the backend folder, then in the .env file put the file name in the CREDENTIAL_JSON_FILE_NAME section.

[dennisdebel]

Thank you for the reply! Glad to see you got further! I cant get the json credentials to work. So strange, python can't find the file (checked name, path, permissions). Maybe I start with a fresh clone and work from there...

/EDIT

After a clean clone, the whole process was a lot smoother up until the same credentials error...

[xucian]

yeah repo owner just wasted 2h of my life, thanks buddy. fixed around 7 incremental errors, still got more. and I don't even know the output quality, but judging by the config format choice and the so many different layers of errors, I don't think it's worth it either
