You okay?

If you find yourself in a disaster situation like the zombie apocalypse or a pandemic, you can check on all your friends and family automatically.

Summary

If you've ever wondered about the safety of your friends and family during a catastrophic event, this automated service will regularly check up on them for you and alert you if they don't respond within a set timeframe.

Problem

People, especially those who are alone, during a catastrophic event might need assistance and no one knows it.

Solution

We send a link periodically that your loved one can click on and say they are ok. If they don't click on the link within a set timeframe someone will be alerted.

How to Get Started

It's as easy as adding their phone numbers to our database and the service automatically sends a text message if they're ok and all they need to do is click a link.

Development

1. clone repo
2. go to root folder of repo and from the command line type

  npm install

3. Start up the dev server (uses nodemon) form the command line with

npm run server:start

Deployment

• If you made any changes to the repo you'll first have to build the container using the npm script in package.json called npm build. Replace manuelag19 in docker build -t manuelag19/youokay . && docker push manuelag19/youokay with your own dockerhub username.

To deploy to an EC2 instance on AWS have a pem file in your computer, a safe place is $(HOME)/.ssh. Modify .example.env with the right data and rename .env

• From your LOCAL computer

# Makes the environment variables you just defined in `.env` available in your current shell
export $(cat .env)

# Only include the 1 at the end if this is the first time you've run this script on this instance (installs things like docker, docker-compose, etc...)
bash deploy.sh $pathToPEM $instance 1 && bash compose.sh $pathToPEM $instance

• (if needed) Enter yes at the prompt.

• The app is now running on the instance in a container at port 4444. The mongo database is available in its own container at port 27017.

If you made any changes to the code but not the docker-compose or .env files and need to restart

• Stop (and clean up after yourself!)

bash compose.sh $pathToPEM $instance 1

• To restart the app:

bash compose.sh $pathToPEM $instance

If you made any changes to the docker-compose or .env files

• Redeploy without installing docker

# copy over the new files and docker-compose up
bash deploy.sh $pathToPEM $instance && bash compose.sh $pathToPEM $instance
