Web application for pairwise comparisons between images

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker-compose

Deployment

Step 1 - Images

Add the images in the folder front-end/public/images/

Step 2 - Environment variables

Add .env file in the root folder of the project which contains the following variables:

Environment variable	Description
MONGO_URI	MongoDB connection string
PORT	Server port
MONGO_PORT	MongoDB port
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME	MongoDB username
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD	MongoDB password
ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_USERNAME	Mongo-express username
ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_PASSWORD	Mongo-express password
NODE_ENV	Node environment variable
VOTING_ROUNDS	Number of voting rounds of each vote session
VOTING_TIME	Voting time in seconds of each comparison
NUMBER_OF_IMAGES	Number of images in front-end/public/images/
BASEURL	Base URL that is used for the requests

Step 3 - Setup

The file db/utils/comparisons_data.json must contain all possible pairwise comparisons that can be made between the images with random order.

• To setup with a pre-existing comparisons_data.json file, execute the command:

  ./setup.sh
  

• To setup by creating a new comparisons_data.json file, execute the command:

  ./setup.sh --create
  

Step 4 - Run

Start:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build

Stop:

Ctrl-C

For detached mode:

Start:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d --build

Stop:

docker-compose down
