Usage

Running Locally

The easiest way to use this project is via Docker. To run locally with default settings, run the following:

docker pull sirhc1977/jmdict-service
docker run --name jmdict-service -d -p 9000:9000 sirhc1977/jmdict-service

You will need to have a Postgres database running locally as well.

Environment Variables

There are a number of environment variables available for configuring behavior:

• DB_SERVER_NAME
• DB_SERVER_PORT
• DB_NAME
• DB_USER
• DB_PASSWORD

These are available for configuring the Postgres database connection.

• AUTH0_ENABLED
• AUTH0_DOMAIN
• AUTH0_AUDIENCE

These are for enabling Auth0 authentication control. By default, AUTH0_ENABLED is false, and the other two environment variables are ignored.

IMPORT_ON_STARTUP

Schedules an import upon start up. By default, this is false.

IMPORTER_SCHEDULE

Sets the quartz cron schedule. By default, this is set to 0 0 0 1/1 * ? *.
