Setup | crAPI

Note: Custom jwks key can be passed by adding a jwks.json file in keys folder in each deployment folder such as /deploy/docker/keys

Docker and docker-compose

You’ll need to have Docker and docker-compose installed and running on your host system. Also, the version of docker-compose should be 1.27.0 or above. Check your docker-compose version using:

docker-compose version

Using prebuilt images

You can use prebuilt images generated by our CI workflow.

Start crAPI

Visit http://localhost:8888.

Note: All emails are sent to mailhog service by default and can be checked on http://localhost:8025 You can change the smtp configuration if required however all emails with domain example.com will still go to mailhog.

Build it yourself

  1. Clone crAPI repository

    • Linux Machine
        $ git clone [REPOSITORY-URL]
    
    • Windows Machine
        $ git clone [REPOSITORY-URL] --config core.autocrlf=input
    
  2. Build all docker images

    • Linux Machine
    $ deploy/docker/build-all.sh
    
    • Windows Machine
    $ call "%cd%\deploy\docker\build-all.bat"
    
  3. Start crAPI
    $ docker-compose -f deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml --compatibility up -d
    
  4. Visit http://localhost:8888

Note: All emails are sent to mailhog service by default and can be checked on http://localhost:8025 You can change the smtp configuration if required however all emails with domain example.com will still go to mailhog.

Kubernetes

Using Helm Charts

  1. Clone the repo
     git clone [REPOSITORY-URL]
    
  2. Install the helm chart
     cd deploy/helm
    
     helm install --namespace crapi crapi . --values values.yaml
    
  3. If using minikube, create a tunnel to initialize the LoadBalancers
     minikube tunnel --alsologtostderr
    
  4. Access crAPI

    crAPI should be available on the <LOADBALANCER_IP>:8888 Mailhog on <LOADBALANCER_IP>:8025

    Or for minikube run the following command to get the URL

     crAPI URL:
     $ echo "http://$(minikube ip):30080"
    
     Mailhog URL:
     echo "http://$(minikube ip):30025"
    

Vagrant

This option allows you to run crAPI within a virtual machine, thus isolated from your system. You’ll need to have Vagrant and, for example VirtualBox installed.

  1. Clone crAPI repository
     $ git clone [REPOSITORY-URL]
    
  2. Start crAPI Virtual Machine
     $ cd deploy/vagrant && vagrant up
    
  3. Visit http://192.168.33.20

Note: All emails are sent to mailhog service by default and can be checked on http://192.168.33.20:8025 You can change the smtp configuration if required however all emails with domain example.com will still go to mailhog.

Once you’re done playing with crAPI, you can remove it completely from your system running the following command from the repository root directory

$ cd deploy/vagrant && vagrant destroy
