Welcome To CT

CT is an orchestration tool for WiFi Devices. It's like mission control for your networks - a single-pane of glass to manage all your devices. (That whole sentence is trademarked btw).

The core of the service is the CT RESTFul API. This portal is currently our beta portal - soon to be production. It communicates with the API to provide a 'nice' interface for controlling your devices.

It's proof that anything is possible. Just use your imagination.

Code Status

Getting Started

This is a demo portal which acts as an interface to the CT API. It's not production ready and many tests were temporarily removed.

There's two ways to run the application:

Using Docker
Using plain NodeJS / npm

Running with NodeJS

Create an Application in the current Tony and obtain your APP ID and Secret
Enter these in the local.enc.sample.js.default. Or use some ENV variables.

You also need to install via npm install && bower install to get all the dependencies.

npm install
bower install

To run in development, you can use the following:

grunt serve

Make sure you have updated the Gruntfile to include the api.ctapp.io end-points.

Using With Docker

Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed. Full instructions on the Docker site. If you want to use docker-compose, please ensure you're using the version > 1.7 otherwise you will get an error.

You can either use docker compose or plain docker build. It's up to you. With docker compose, you can create a .env file that will pull all your ENV vars in. In the project directory run:

Make sure to edit it the cucumber.env file first accordingly.

docker-compose up

Then you should be able to access your container on your Docker IP:

curl http://192.168.1.1:8080

If you don't want to use docker compose, just run the following in your project root:

docker build -t cucumber .

Followed by:

docker run \
  -e APP_ID=YOUR-ID \
  -e APP_SECRET=YOUR-SECRET \
  -e API_URL=https://api.ctapp.io \
  -e AUTH_URL=https://id.ctapp.io \
  -e BASE_URL=my.ctapp.dev:9090 \
  -e PORT=80
  -p 8080:80 cucumber

Replacing all the vars as you see fit.

Still to sort

We have not implemented TLS yet. This will come soon - basically don't use this in production yet.

Using with Heroku

These instructions assume you're not using the Docker image, we will explain that later.

If you want to deploy yourself with Heroku, you need to do a few things.

Create a Heroku repository and add to the Gruntfile

heroku: {
  options: {
    remote: 'git@heroku.com:my-app-8983.git',
    branch: 'master'
  }
}

Add some ENV variables to your Heroku Repo

You need to add:

APP_ID=YOUR-APP-ID
APP_SECRET=YOUR-SECRET
CT_URL=your-local-dash-url
NODE_ENV=production

Then you can deploy with:

grunt buildcontrol:heroku

Push Notifications

TBC. We should detail what notifications we use, including the channels in use. Think this is going to take some work since we have dozens coming from multiple services.

For now, use the code samples etc. to figure it out.
