Query proxy

Installation

This proxy has been written in Node.js using the framework Express and the http-proxy node module to proxy requests.

You will need to install Node.js on your computer. Then you will need to install the project's dependencies. Go to the root of the project and run the following command.

npm install

Environment variables

In order to run the code, some environment variables are needed. They are specified in the template.env file at the root of the project.

For a local deployment:

1. cp template.env .env
2. Edit .env according to the chosen configuration

The values will be read from the file by default when running with docker. If you run the service outside of docker you can export those variables.
