What it looks like

How we've been working

• 🗓 Planning the project on Github Kanban : The Project Board

Handy commands

• make up: Up the stack

• make down: Down the stack

• make ls: List stack services

• make ps: Show stack services details

• make dump-db: Dump the database into a single file (db/data/graph.db.dump)

• make load-db: Load the database from the dump file

Full commands list

• make build: Build images

• make init: Create a swarm

• make leave: Leave the swarm

• make start: Start the stack

• make stop: Stop the stack

• make up: Up the stack

• make down: Down the stack

• make reload: Reload the stack

• make fix: Fix a possible problem to start the stack (occurs if you down/stop too fast after an up/sart)

• make ls: List stack services

• make ps: Show stack services details

• make init-db: (Re)Initialize an empty neo4j database (will prompt for reset)

• make dump-db: Dump the database into a single file (db/data/graph.db.dump)

• make load-db: Load the database from the dump file

Actually, you should only have to use up/down, ls/ps and dump/load.
Others commands are here mainly for development purposes.
Also, if you see some errors marked as (ignored): this is normal.
