sunbird-portal

What is Sunbird?

Sunbird is a next-generation scalable open-source learning solution for teachers and tutors. Built for the 21st century with state-of-the-art technology, Sunbird runs natively in cloud/mobile environments. The open-source governance of Sunbird allows a massive community of nation-builders to co-create and extend the solution in novel ways.

What is the project mission?

Project Sunbird has a mission to improve learning outcomes for 200 million children across India. This is a multi-dimensional problem unique to the multi-lingual offline population of India (and other developing countries). It's not a problem of any single organization or stakeholder and it cannot be realistically addressed by individual effort.

Project Sunbird is an open, iterative and collaborative approach to bring together the best minds in pursuit of this audacious goal.

What is the Sunbird portal?

The Sunbird portal is the browser-based interface for the Sunbird application stack. It provides a web-app through which all functionality of Sunbird can be accessed.

      2. $ cd {PROJECT-FOLDER}/src/app
      3. $ yarn install

3. Configuring the Environment and Services Stack

   Configure the following system environment variables in the terminal which you have opened

      | Environment Variable      |  Value  | Data Type |

   The initialization of these environmental variables can take place in a common place like in your .bashrc or .bash_profile

4. Edit the Application Configuration

   Open <PROJECT-FOLDER>/src/app/helpers/environmentVariablesHelper.js in any available text editor and update the contents of the file so that it contains exactly the following values

       module.exports = {
           // 1. LEARNER_URL   
           LEARNER_URL: env.sunbird_learner_player_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
           
           // 2. CONTENT_URL
           CONTENT_URL: env.sunbird_content_player_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
           
           // 3. CONTENT_PROXY  
           CONTENT_PROXY_URL: env.sunbird_content_proxy_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
           PORTAL_REALM: env.sunbird_portal_realm || 'sunbird',
           
           // 4. PORTAL_AUTH_SERVER_URL
           PORTAL_AUTH_SERVER_URL: env.sunbird_portal_auth_server_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
           PORTAL_AUTH_SERVER_CLIENT: env.sunbird_portal_auth_server_client || "portal",
           ...
           PORTAL_PORT: env.sunbird_port || 3000,
             
           // 5. PORTAL_API_AUTH_TOKEN
           PORTAL_API_AUTH_TOKEN: env.sunbird_api_auth_token || User generated API auth token
