Memoria, a site for memories

Memoria, a site for memories, production site at https://inmra.com/

This is a combination memorial and a family tree. It provides an ability to easily add information for family members. This information includes relations to other family members, biographical info, and photographs.

Interesting technical aspects of the project:

• Size of the application, including all necessary dependencies: 600 Kb.
• Database/Web server: included, provided by Minum
• Startup time: 500 milliseconds
• Average memory usage: 64 Mb
• Peak memory usage: 300 Mb with 176 persons and 387 photos under heavy continuous loading
• Average time per request: 5 milliseconds

Quick Start, after cloning

Build and run:

make restore_sampledb
make run

then visit http://localhost:8080

Run pre-built system:

cd docs
tar zxf inmra.tar.gz
cd inmra
./start.sh

then visit http://localhost:8080

Quick Start, downloading binary

• Download it here
• decompress it: tar zxf inmra.tar.gz
• change to its directory: cd inmra
• start the program: java -jar inmra.jar or docker compose up -d
• visit http://localhost:8080
• To shut down - if run using java -jar, press ctrl-c. If docker, run docker compose down
  • Note: the README in the inmra directory has critical information to login as admin

More-detailed Quick Start

This is a ongoing long-term project to develop software for combined family tree and memorial site. While it is incomplete, it acts as a realistic example for the Minum web framework.

• This project uses Gnu Make as its build tool, wrapping calls to Maven
• To load a sample database: make restore_sampledb, then run with make run. Wait until the message "System is ready" and then hit http://localhost:8080
  • To operate as an administrator, login at http://localhost:8080/login with a username of admin and the password in the file "admin_password" in the root of the database directory.
• To run tests: make test
• For help: make
• Production version running at https://inmra.com

See the development handbook

System requirements:

Developed on a Windows 10 64-bit professional, on Cygwin, OpenJDK 21, with Gnu Make 4.4

Directories:

• docs: documentation for the project
• cloud_operations: documents and scripts for deployment to the cloud
• .git: necessary files for Git.
• sample_db: a test database
• scripts: scripts that are run during compilation / analyzing / preparation for deployment
• src: source code for the application
• ui_tests: a separate project directory for the UI end-to-end tests

Root-level files:

• .gitignore: files we want Git to ignore.
• .gitattributes: some details of how we want Git to operate on our project
• Makefile: configuration for the build tool, Gnu Make
• memoria.iml: untracked by Git - a configuration file for Intellij (optional)
• mvnw, mvnw.cmd - Maven's "wrapper" files - a way to provide Maven without it being already installed.
• pom.xml: Maven's configuration file, for building and obtaining dependencies
• README.md: this file
• SYSTEM_RUNNING: if this exists, it means the application is running
