Development

If you're planning to customize the source code, follow these steps first:

1. Install Node.js dependencies

$ npm install

2. Copy .env.example to .env and edit the variables.

$ cp .env.example .env

3. Run development server

$ npm run dev

Production

First make sure your .env variables are set properly, most importantly the following:

NODE_ENV=production
VIRTUAL_HOST=yourdomain.com
LETSENCRYPT_HOST=yourdomain.com
[email protected]
API_URL_BROWSER=https://yourdomain.com/api
SLSK_USER=uniqueusername
SLSK_PASS=somepassword

To run the application in production there are a couple of options. The easiest are the Docker options, but you need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed.

Option 1: Docker Compose

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build

Option 2: Docker Swarm mode

If you haven't enabled Swarm mode, you can run:

$ docker swarm init

If Swarm mode is enabled successfully, you can run your stack as follows:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml -f docker-compose.swarm.yml config | docker stack deploy -c - <YOUR-STACK-NAME>

Option 3: PM2

First make sure the app is built for production:

$ npm run build

Then, you need to have PM2 installed globally to run the following:

$ pm2 start pm2.config.js --env production

Also, for this option you need to configure your own proxy (e.g. Nginx) to forward the requests to your app.

Optional config

Below are some optional steps to go through to setup your app.

Redirect www to non-www

If you want your www subdomain to redirect to your domain, you can add the following config to proxy/conf.d/your-proxy.conf:

# Redirect unencrypted www traffic to non-www SSL domain
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name www.yourdomain.com;
  return 301 https://yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}

# Redirect encrypted www traffic to non-www SSL domain
server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name www.yourdomain.com;
  ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/yourdomain.com.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/yourdomain.com.key;
  ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/certs/yourdomain.com.dhparam.pem;
  return 301 https://yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}

If you do this, make sure your VIRTUAL_HOST doesn't contain your www.yourdomain.com host. But make sure LETSENCRYPT_HOST does include the subdomain host.

Protect access with basic auth

You can restrict access to your app with basic authentication. Use htpasswd to generate username and password credentials:

$ htpasswd -Bc proxy/htpasswd/yourdomain.com <YOUR-USERNAME>
