Bountysource

If you want to make Bountysource.com better, you've come to the right place.

Bountysource needs your help!

Bountysource is run by volunteers, so development activity can be sporadic (to put it nicely).

"How can I help?"

...with money

• Contribute to our Bountysource Salt campaign
• Post bounties on Issues that matter to you

...with code

• Start by reading our Wiki's How to Contribute

• There are a number of high priority issues that would help the core team, such as:

• Automatically collect e-signed Tax forms upon cash out request

• Add "Send via Paypal" button to admin/cash_outs/pending

• Add "Send via Coinbase" button to admin/cash_outs/pending

• "Add an issue tracker that your team manages" does not do anything

• Looking for some easier tasks to get started?

• Improve forgot/reset password usability

• Fee in fees page and TOS do not match.

• Change "Support team" text if you're a supporter

...with documentation

• We are signficantly lacking in documentation. Can you write up a first time developers guide?

Self-hosting

For self-hosting, you will need Docker and Docker Compose.

The following was tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It'll likely work very similar on other Linux distros.

First tip, don't bother with the Docker or Docker Compose packages that your distro provides (too old, superseded).

Simply install from upstream. To install Docker, do

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh

To run Docker without superuser rights (sudo):

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Then install Python virtualenv:

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

Create a new virtualenv and install Docker Compose into that:

virtualenv ~/docker-compose
source ~/docker-compose/bin/activate
pip install docker-compose

Here are the versions I get:

(cpy361_6) oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~/scm/oberstet/bountysource_core$ docker --version
Docker version 17.05.0-ce, build 89658be
(cpy361_6) oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~/scm/oberstet/bountysource_core$ docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.13.0, build 1719ceb

Now pull and build all required Docker images:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build

Then start the Docker containers relevant for the service:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d

This should start 3 Docker containers (Bountysource, PostgreSQL and Sphinx):

(cpy361_6) oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~/scm/oberstet/bountysource_core$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                           COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES

45c0202dd08b        postgres                        "docker-entrypoint..."   11 minutes ago      Up 11 minutes       5432/tcp                 pgsql

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

You should see the Bountysource start page, something like this.

Running the unit tests

To run the unit tests:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f tasks.yml up test

You should see something like this in the end:

(cpy361_6) oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~/scm/3rdparty/bountysource_core$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f tasks.yml up test
