docker-node-web

This Docker image with a node webserver running inside provides a Facebook messenger chatbot that translates specific text messages into MQTT messages for controlling home automation systems.

Development & deployment

It's all in the Makefile. Run make local to start a local Docker image with the server available at http://localhost:8084. Run make log to inspect the node logs, run make stop to make it stop.

Running make deploy will upload all source files to your EC2 machine and start the Docker image there. It'll be available at port 80 as well under the machine's hostname, e.g. ec2-123456.compute-1.amazonaws.com.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have a file /src/config.js that provides something like this:

// /src/config.js

const fullConfig = {
    production: {
        fbVerificationToken: '1234567890987654321',
        fbPageAcessToken: 'asdfghjkl',
        mqtt: {
            username: 'matt',
            password: '123456',
            host: 'mqtt.mosquitto.org',
            port: '8883',
        },
    },
    development: {
        fbVerificationToken: '1234567890987654321',
        fbPageAcessToken: 'asdfghjk',
        mqtt: {
            username: 'matt',
            password: '123456',
            host: 'mqtt.mosquitto.org',
            port: '8883',
        },
    },
};

export default function config() {
    return process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? fullConfig.production : fullConfig.development;
}
