StackBox

Stackbox helps you create app stacks loaded with all your favourite clients, services and infra in under 5 mins. The aim of the project is to help developers setup quick infra and boilerplates to start the dev work asap. Ideally this project is to help rapid prototyping, building PoCs or writing code for hackathons.

Example Stacks

The following are a few example stacks you could spin-up.

Run from source - sh stackbox.sh or Run from Brew installation - stackbox

1. Flask-Vue-Mysql-Elasticsearch

Choose vue for frontend, flask for backend. Choose mysql and elasticsearch (with/without kibana) for services. After the run is finished, the final log should look like the one below.

flask is up at http://localhost:80
vue is up at http://localhost:8080
elasticsearch is up at http://localhost:9200
mysql is up at http://localhost:3306

Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view the Vue frontend. From there you can click on Mysql/Elasticsearch links to view the preloaded data from mysql/elasticsearch containers being rendered.

2. Flask-Angular-Mysql-Elasticsearch

Choose vue for frontend, flask for backend. Choose mysql and elasticsearch (with/without kibana) for services. After the run is finished, the final log should look like the one below.

flask is up at http://localhost:80
angular is up at http://localhost:4200
elasticsearch is up at http://localhost:9200
mysql is up at http://localhost:3306

Now you can visit http://localhost:4200 to view the Vue frontend. From there you can click on Mysql/Elasticsearch links to view the preloaded data from mysql/elasticsearch containers being rendered.
