Adopt-a-Street

A community street adoption platform where users can adopt streets, complete maintenance tasks, participate in events, and earn rewards through a gamification system.

🏗️ Architecture

• Frontend: React 19 with React Router v6, Leaflet mapping
• Backend: Node.js/Express with CouchDB database
• Deployment: Kubernetes on Raspberry Pi cluster
• Real-time: Server-Sent Events (SSE) for live updates

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ and Bun runtime
• CouchDB 3.3+ (or Docker)
• Git

Local Development

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd adopt-a-street
   

2. Install dependencies

   # Backend
   cd backend
   bun install
   
   # Frontend
   cd ../frontend
   bun install
   

3. Set up CouchDB

   Option A: Docker (Recommended)

   # From project root
   docker-compose up -d couchdb
   
   # Wait for CouchDB to start
   sleep 10
   
   # Setup database and indexes
   cd backend
   bun run setup:couchdb
   

   Option B: Manual Installation

   # Install CouchDB locally
   # Follow instructions at: https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/install/index.html
   
   # Setup database and indexes
   cd backend
   COUCHDB_URL=http://localhost:5984 \
   COUCHDB_USER=admin \
   COUCHDB_PASSWORD=admin \
   bun run setup:couchdb
   

4. Configure environment

   # Backend
   cd backend
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your CouchDB credentials and other settings
   
   # Frontend
   cd ../frontend
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your API URL
   

5. Seed initial data

   cd backend
   bun run seed:badges
   

6. Start the applications

   # Backend (in one terminal)
   cd backend
   bun run dev
   
   # Frontend (in another terminal)
   cd frontend
   bun start
   

7. Access the application

   • Frontend: http://localhost:3000
   • Backend API: http://localhost:5000
   • CouchDB Admin: http://localhost:5984/_utils

Docker Development

Use Docker Compose for the complete stack:

# Start all services
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# Stop services
docker-compose down

📦 Database Migration

If you're migrating from MongoDB to CouchDB:

# Run migration script
node scripts/migrate-to-couchdb.js

# For production migration
node scripts/migrate-production.js

See COUCHDB_SETUP.md for detailed migration instructions.

🧪 Testing

Backend Tests

cd backend
bun test                    # Run all tests
bun run test:coverage      # Run with coverage
bun run test:watch         # Run in watch mode

Frontend Tests

cd frontend
bun test                    # Run in watch mode
bun run test:coverage      # Run with coverage

🚢 Deployment

Kubernetes (Production)

The application is designed for deployment on a Kubernetes cluster, specifically optimized for Raspberry Pi hardware.

1. Build multi-arch Docker images

   docker buildx create --use --name multiarch-builder
   
   docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7 \
     -t your-registry/adopt-a-street-backend:latest \
     --push ./backend
   
   docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7 \
     -t your-registry/adopt-a-street-frontend:latest \
     --push ./frontend
   

2. Deploy to Kubernetes

   # Configure secrets
   cp deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml.example deploy/k8s/secrets.yaml
   # Edit secrets with your values
   
   # Deploy all services
   cd deploy/k8s
   kubectl apply -f namespace.yaml
   kubectl apply -f secrets.yaml
   kubectl apply -f couchdb-configmap.yaml
   kubectl apply -f couchdb-statefulset.yaml
   kubectl apply -f configmap.yaml
   kubectl apply -f backend-deployment.yaml
   kubectl apply -f frontend-deployment.yaml
   kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml
   

See deploy/README.md for detailed deployment instructions.
