Introduction

Web app used to view current and past solicitations and analyze spending patterns by organization using open and public data sources.

Quickstart

1. Download/compile/build the app (see maven quickstart)
2. Create config file
3. Load data

Maven Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/kartographia/prospekt-server.git
cd prospekt-server
mvn install
java -jar dist/kartographia-prospekt-server.jar -config ../config.json

Database Initialization

By default, the server will create a new database on startup. If you don't have a database defined in your config file, or if you have explicitly defined an H2 database in your config file, an H2 database will be created automatically.

If you are targeting a PostgreSQL database in your config file, it is highly recommended that you create the database before you start the server. Example:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ssd/postgresql/prospekt
sudo chown postgres.postgres /mnt/ssd/postgresql/prospekt
sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "CREATE TABLESPACE prospekt LOCATION '/mnt/ssd/postgresql/prospekt';"
sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "create database prospekt tablespace prospekt;"
