Mongo Verba

Mongo Verba is a simple web application for storing quotes. It allows users to add quotes with an author and optional notes, providing a practical environment for experimenting with MongoDB.

Getting started

Development (using Docker)

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd mongo-verba

2. Set up the environment variables:

   nano docker-compose.yaml

3. Start the application with Docker:

   docker compose up -d --build

The frontend is available at http://localhost:2319 and the backend API is available at http://localhost:3000

Production (using Kubernetes)

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd mongo-verba

2. Setup the secrets:

   cp k8s/secrets.example.yaml k8s/secrets.yaml
   nano k8s/secrets.yaml

3. Edit the Ingress to use your domain:

   nano k8s/ingress.yaml

4. Start the application with Kubernetes:

   kubectl apply -f k8s/

The application will be available at https://your-domain.com/mongo-verba

Note: It's possible to enable or disable quote insertion independently on both the frontend and the backend. By default, it comes disabled on the backend and frontend. Edit the Dockerfiles according to your preference.

Scheduler (with Cron)

Using cron, it is possible to send daily notifications within a specific time range to a ntfy.sh topic. These notifications are pulled from this application's public API. More information can be found in the ./scheduler directory.
