Firebase Setup

Head to the Firebase Console: https://console.firebase.google.com/

You may need to accept the Terms & Conditions if you haven't already for this account / organization.

You should see you project under All Firebase projects. Click it.

If you click on Apps you should see both of your apps, AI-Tutor, and CKT.

Checkout this repo if you haven't:

git clone git@github.com:GPS-Solutions/ailearning-frontend.git

Run the following:

git fetch --all --tags
git checkout

Prepare Firebase Apps

Next click on Build and Hosting in the left navigation menu.

Click Get Started

Click Next, then Next, then Continue to Console

Click Add custom domain

Use the exact output of the web_app_domain and enter the following:

Follow the instructions to verify domain ownership and setup a DNS record.

Validate the DNS record is created:

nslookup YOUR_WEB_APP_DOMAIN

You will see the status of your custom domain change from needs setup to pending. This can take up to 24 hours for Firebase to provision certificates and start serving on your custom domain name.

Next, you'll need to click Add another site to setup the CKT site. This may be at the top or the bottom of the page.

For the site id, use the terraform output ckt_app_domain minus the original domain. In our case it will look like this:

For this site click View and Add custom domain like the previous example, but in this case use the full name from ckt_app_domain and create a DNS record as instructed.

Backend API DNS Record

In addition to these 2 DNS records for the Firebase apps, you'll also need to create a DNS record for the backend API hosted on GKE. You'll need to create a DNS A record from the following 2 Terraform variables:

  • api_domain
  • ingress_ip_address

It will look something like this:

Firebase Authentication

Click on Build then Authentication in the Firebase Console

Click Get Started. Click Sign-in method and select Google and click Enable. Insert your project ID and your email or an IT admin's email. Click Save.

You'll also need to add both your custom domain to Authorized Domains. Click on Settings then Authorized Domains. Use the full terraform output of the web_app_domain and ckt_app_domain variables.

Summary

In this section you did the following:

  • Configured Firebase hosting for custom domains
  • Created and configured DNS Records
  • Setup Firebase Authentication

Firebase Deploy

Before we can Deploy the AI-Tutor and the CKT, you need to build a Firebase Cloud Build container to then be used by subsequent deployment jobs. The original instructions are here but copied for your convenience:

# in a new temporary directory
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-builders-community.git
cd cloud-builders-community/firebase

gcloud builds submit .

cd ../..
rm -rf cloud-builders-community/

Make sure the job completes.

Now you're ready to deploy both AI-Tutor and the CKT.

Go to the Cloud Build Triggers page of your project. It should look something like this:

Click MANAGE REPOSITORIES to confirm if the WebApp to Github is setup properly. You may need to click Reconnect. You may also need to click CONNECT REPOSITORY if this is the same time using the Github to Cloud Build WebApp. See here on how to connect the repositories.

First click Run on the ai-tutor trigger. Enter the latest version of the app you want to deploy and click Run. Then monitor the build job.

When this job is done, do the same for ckt.

When these are deployed, you should see both sites deployed in the Firebase console in the Hosting section:

Try both links, including the custom DNS records, to confirm they are both successfully deployed.

Make sure you can login to both tools with a whitelisted email account.
