Local development with Blimp

The following instructions will walk you through using blimp to develop in the cloud.

1. Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/kelda-inc/node-todo

2. Download Blimp

curl -fsSL 'https://kelda.io/install-blimp.sh' | sh

3. Login

This creates an isolated sandbox that your Docker containers will run in.

blimp login

4. Boot the app

blimp up

This will boot the node and mongo containers. Once they're up, access the todo UI at http://localhost:8080, and a couple todo tasks.

If you have docker installed locally, and want to try the image building feature, run blimp up -f ./docker-compose-local-build.yml instead.

5. Make a code change

Open app/routes.js in your preferred text editor, uncomment the code on line 12, and save the file.

Kelda Blimp will sync the change into the container, and nodemon will restart the Node server.

6. Confirm that the code change worked

Reload http://localhost:8080. You will now see each todo prepended with "Kelda:"

7. Explore the other Blimp commands

blimp ps

blimp logs web

blimp ssh web
