arball, run the make clean all command from this directory. The JARs and tarball will appear in the build/ directory.
cd to front-end/public and run ./serve.py (you need Python3 installed). This will serve the assets on port 8000.
All the apps take environment variables to configure them and expose the URL /ping which will just return a 200 response that you can use with e.g. a load balancer to check if the app is running.
java -jar front-end.jar

APP_PORT: The port on which to run the appSTATIC_URL: The URL on which to find the static assetsQUOTE_SERVICE_URL: The URL on which to find the quote serviceNEWSFEED_SERVICE_URL: The URL on which to find the newsfeed serviceNEWSFEED_SERVICE_TOKEN: The authentication token that allows the app to talk to the newsfeed service.
