Instructions for running the testnet-onboarding-api using laconic-so

Prerequisite

• laconic-so: installation instructions
• sumsub application token: https://docs.sumsub.com/docs/app-tokens

Setup

• Fetch the stack repo:

  laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-onboarding-app-stack
  

  This should clone the stack repo in $HOME/cerc directory

• Setup required repositories:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api setup-repositories --pull
  
  # If this throws an error as a result of being already checked out to a branch/tag in a repo, remove the repositories and re-run the command
  # The repositories are located in $HOME/cerc by default
  

• Build the container image:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api build-containers
  

  This should create the cerc/testnet-onboarding-api Docker image locally, same can be confirmed by running docker image ls

Create a deployment

• Create a spec file for the deployment:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api deploy init --map-ports-to-host any-same --output onboarding-api-spec.yml
  

  • This should create the spec file onboarding-api-spec.yml
  • The port mapping option any-same binds the ports for Docker services to 0.0.0.0 on the host machine; edit the spec file to change the mapping as desired

• Create an onboarding-api stack deployment from the spec file:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-onboarding-app-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/onboarding-api deploy create --spec-file onboarding-api-spec.yml --deployment-dir onboarding-api-deployment
  

  • This should create the deployment directory onboarding-api-deployment
  • Note: Once a deployment is created from the spec file, the port mappings are set in Docker compose files; in order to change the port mapping after that, the deployment has to be re-created with a modified spec file

Configuration

• Inside the onboarding-api-deployment deployment directory, open config.env and set following env variables:

  # Your sumsub application token
  SUMSUB_APP_TOKEN=
  
  # Your sumsub secret key
  SUMSUB_SECRET_KEY=
  
  # Optional
  
  # Default KYC level of access token being generated (default: basic-kyc-level)
  KYC_LEVEL=
  
  # Default TTL for the generated access token in seconds (default: 600)
  TTL_IN_SECS=
  

Start the deployment

laconic-so deployment --dir onboarding-api-deployment start

Check status

• To list down and monitor the running container:

  docker ps
  
  # Ensure that the testnet-onboarding-api container is healthy
  
  # Check logs for the server
  laconic-so deployment --dir onboarding-api-deployment logs -f testnet-onboarding-api
  

Example

• Generate an access token for a user:

  curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/generate-token \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"userId": "JamesBond007"}'
  
  # Expected output:
  # {"token":"<generated-access-token>"}
  

Clean up

• Stop the deployment:

  laconic-so deployment --dir onboarding-api-deployment stop
