Web Applications

To install a web application you need:

  1. Web application stated in the model
  2. Nginx (and SeaCat Auth)
  3. Respective web application file in the Library

Model

Use webapps section to state which web applications should be installed. Choose nginx location where each web app is served.

Example of /Site/model.yaml 

define:
  type: rc/model

services:
  zoonavigator:
    instances:
      1:
        node: "lmc01"
  nginx:
    instances:
      1:
        node: "lmc01"
  mongo:
    instances:
      1:
        node: "lmc01"
  seacat-auth:
    instances:
      1:
        node: "lmc01"

applications:
  - name: "ASAB Maestro"
    version: v23.47

params:
  PUBLIC_URL: "https://maestro.logman.io"

webapps:
  /: LogMan.io WebUI
  /auth: SeaCat Auth WebUI

Dependencies

The web apps can be only served from a proxy server Nginx.

Make sure your public URL in the params section in your model is correct.

Most of the web applications require authorization server. To run LogMan.io web UI successfully, install also SeaCat Auth and Mongo as its dependency.

Web Application file

The web app declaration contains the distribution point, Nginx specification and list of the web apps.

  • Choose between mfe and spa
  • Choose server ("https", "http", "internal")
  • Specify nginx location where to serve the web application
  • Specify the name of the web application

Note

mfe stands for "micro-frontend" application. LogMan.io Web UI consist of many microfrontend applications.

spa stands for "single-packed" application.

Version of each application is stated in the version file. Applications not listed in the version files are used in their latest version.

Web application descriptor for MFE

define:
  type: rc/webapp
  name: TeskaLabs LogMan.io WebUI
  url: https://teskalabs.com

webapp:
  distribution: https://asabwebui.z16.web.core.windows.net/

mfe:
  https:
    /: lmio_webui
    /asab_config_webui: asab_config_webui
    /asab_library_webui: asab_library_webui
    /asab_maestro_webui: asab_maestro_webui
    /asab_tools_webui: asab_tools_webui
    /bs_query_webui: bs_query_webui
    /lmio_analysis_webui: lmio_analysis_webui
    /lmio_lookup_webui: lmio_lookup_webui

The section webapp and the key distribution specifies the base URL from which the application is distributed.

The section mfe contains the specification of the server (https, http or internal) to which the installation will be performed. Inside of the server, there is a dictionary of the location "subpath" (/) and the MFE component name (lmio_webui). One location should be /, it is the entry point into the MFE application.

Web application descriptor for SPA

define:
  type: rc/webapp
  name: TeskaLabs SeaCat Auth WebUI
  url: https://teskalabs.com

webapp:
  distribution: https://asabwebui.z16.web.core.windows.net/

spa:
  https: seacat-auth

The section webapp and the key distribution specifies the base URL from which the application is distributed.

The section spa contains the specification of the server (https, http or internal) to which the installation will be performed. The value seacat-auth specifies the name of (singular) SPA component to be installed.

Versioning

Versions of web application components are specified in the respective /Site/<application name>/Versions/v<application version>.yaml file:

define:
  type: rc/version
  product: ASAB Maestro
  version: v23.32

versions:
  ...
  webapp seacat-auth: 'v23.13-beta'
  webapp lmio_webui: 'v23.43'

The web application has a prefix webapp with the trailing space. If the version is not specified, the "master" version is assumed.

This file provides the compatible version combination of the web application components and respective microservices.

Running web application distribution sherpa manually

You may need to execute the web application distribution sherpa manually ie to upgrade to a recent version of the web application.

This is how it is done:

$ cd /opt/site
$ ./gov.sh compose up nginx-1-webapp-dist
