chinesenotes-go

Go web application for Chinese-English dictionary.

The source of the dictionary data is at https://github.com/alexamies/chinesenotes.com

Clone that repo and copy the words.txt file into the data directory under this project

CNOTES_HOME=../chinesenotes.com
mkdir data
cp $CNOTES_HOME/config.yaml .
cp $CNOTES_HOME/data/words.txt data/.
cp $CNOTES_HOME/data/translation_memory_literary.txt data/.
cp $CNOTES_HOME/data/translation_memory_modern.txt data/.

That is all that is needed for basic word lookup. A database and corpus can be added to enable other features.

Make and Save Go Application Image

The Go app is not needed for chinesenotes.com at the moment but it is use for other sites (eg. hbreader.org).

Build the Docker image for the Go application:

docker build -t cn-app-image .

Run it locally with minimal features (C-E dictionary lookp only) enabled

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 --name cn-app \
  cn-app-image

Test basic lookup with curl

curl http://localhost:8080/find/?query=你好

Run it locally with all features enabled

DBUSER=app_user
DBPASSWORD="***"
DATABASE=cse_dict
docker run -itd --rm -p 8080:8080 --name cn-app --link mariadb \
  -e DBHOST=mariadb \
  -e DBUSER=$DBUSER \
  -e DBPASSWORD=$DBPASSWORD \
  -e DATABASE=$DATABASE \
  -e SENDGRID_API_KEY="$SENDGRID_API_KEY" \
  -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/cnotes/credentials.json \
  -e TEXT_BUCKET="$TEXT_BUCKET" \
  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/cnotes \
  cn-app-image
