hmpps-historical-prisoner-api

Backend for historical prisoner application.

Running the application locally

The application comes with a dev spring profile that includes default settings for running locally. This is not necessary when deploying to kubernetes as these values are included in the helm configuration templates - e.g. values-dev.yaml.

There is also a docker-compose.yml that can be used to run a local instance of the template in docker and also an instance of HMPPS Auth (required if your service calls out to other services using a token).

docker compose pull && docker compose up

will build the application and run it and HMPPS Auth within a local docker instance.

Running the application in Intellij

docker compose pull && docker compose up --scale hmpps-historical-prisoner-api=0

will just start a docker instance of HMPPS Auth. The application should then be started with a dev active profile in Intellij.
