Installation

As an alternative to the online version, the standalone server of BRouter can also be run on your local desktop.

Install standalone zip (client and server)

download and unzip latest standalone archive (brouter-web-standalone.<version>.zip) from https://github.com/nrenner/brouter-web/releases e.g. for Linux (replace ~/opt/ with your preferred install directory and 0.11.0 with latest version):
```
    mkdir ~/opt/brouter
    cd ~/opt/brouter
    wget https://github.com/nrenner/brouter-web/releases/download/0.11.0/brouter-web-standalone.0.11.0.zip
    unzip brouter-web-standalone.0.11.0.zip
```
download one or more rd5 data file(s) from the download directory or the grid map into the segments4 directory

Configure BRouter-Web

In the brouter-web subdirectory:

copy config.template.js to config.js
add your API keys (optional)
copy keys.template.js to keys.js and edit to add your keys

Run

start ./run.sh

Running as Docker container (client only)

brouter-web can be run as a Docker container, making it easy for continous deployment or running locally without having to install any build tools.

The Dockerfile builds the application inside a NodeJS container and copies the built application into a separate Nginx based image. The application runs from a webserver only container serving only static files.

Prerequisites

Docker installed
working directory is this repository
config.template.js copied to config.js and modified with a Brouter server, see BR.conf.host
keys.template.js to keys.js and add your API keys
Optionally create profiles directory with brf profile files and add path to config.js: BR.conf.profilesUrl = 'profiles/';

Building Docker image

To build the Docker container run:

  docker build -t brouter-web .

This creates a Docker image with the name brouter-web.

Running Docker container

To run the previously build Docker image run:

  docker run --rm --name brouter-web \
    -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80 \
    -v "`pwd`/config.js:/usr/share/nginx/html/config.js" \
    -v "`pwd`/keys.js:/usr/share/nginx/html/keys.js" \
    -v "`pwd`/profiles:/usr/share/nginx/html/profiles" \
    brouter-web

This command does the following:

Runs a container with the name brouter-web and removes it automatically after stopping
Binds port 80 of the container to the host interface 127.0.0.1 on port 8080
Takes the absolute paths of config.js, keys.js and profiles and mounts them inside the container
Uses the image brouter-web to run as a container

brouter-web should be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
