Datashare Network Server

Datashare network server

This is the http server for the protocol described in the EPFL paper:

DATASHARENETWORK A Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Search Engine for Investigative Journalists

This is a work in progress.

Requirements

psycopg2 requires the installation of python3-dev (see psycopg prerequisites here)

Running the server locally

$ make install
$ make run
pipenv run uvicorn dsnetserver.main:app
INFO:     Started server process [9120]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Developing

We use pipenv to package/develop the server. We will use it to install all dependencies :

$ make install

Database

You need to create first the database. You can bootstrap it with :

$ psql  -U <admin_user> -h <psql_host> < bootstrap_db.sql

Then to run the migrations :

$ /path/to/alembic upgrade head 

Testing

$ make test
