Technical details

easyCOM consists of a web based user interface (ui) and a server based backend, with a REST based communication in between. The web based ui is based on Sencha ExtJS. Currently a sim simple php backend exists testing. The backend should be reimplemented in a more reliable and stable way.

Setup Guide

Use prebuild Docker image

Get easily started with docker:

docker pull cha87de/easycom:master
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name easycom \
    -v $(pwd)/easycom-data:/var/www/html/easycom-phpbackend/_data/ \
    cha87de/easycom:master

Use with any existing webserver

If you want to install easyCOM, please follow these steps:

1. Prerequisite: a php enabled Apache2 webserver with rewrite module, the texlive packages for latex compilation.
2. Download the easycom.tgz build archive from the releases at https://github.com/cha87de/easycom/releases
3. Extract the easycom.tgz folder into a valid document root of your webserver.
4. Open your browser and point to your webserver.

Developers Guide

If you want to prepare and run a development environment, follow these steps:

1. Checkout this git repository, with all git submodules, via git clone --recursive [email protected]:cha87de/easycom.git
2. Prepare your workspace: install Sencha Command, download Sencha Ext JS, create a sencha workspace, and finally add easycom-webui to the sencha workspace. All that can be done at once by calling ./workspace-init.
3. Write code, or do whatever you want with the source :-)
4. Run the development environment e.g. in a Docker container. If you have docker installed, simply call ./workspace-run-dev to do this magic. Open your webbrowser and point it to http://localhost:8080/easycom/.
