We currently support deploying the OpenBoxes application to DigitalOcean and Azure. We would like to support other deployment options like Amazon Web Services, Vultr, Linode, and others but don't have the resources to build and maintain these deployment options at the moment. If interested in other deployment options, please participate in the discussion here to help us better understand your requirements and expectations regarding deployment. For instance, it would be helpful to hear from service providers who would like to manage multiple customers or users who aren't tech savvy but prefer a certain deployment platform because of its ease of use.
The Deploy to DigitalOcean button will redirect you to DigitalOcean, where you will be able to choose

For our DigitalOcean marketplace app go to: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/openboxes-server?refcode=da4712a483b4
Deploy to Azure button will bring you to Azure portal, where after filling a few of the properties you can get your OpenBoxes environment in a matter of minutes. In the Azure setup screen, look at each property's tooltip description to understand its purpose.

Deploy to Azure uses the ARM template defined in openboxes-devops repository.
Visualize will open armviz.io to display graph of all of the Azure resources, which the deployment will provision.
- Java 7 (must install Java 7)
- MySQL 5.7
- Mac users: 5.7.31 is the latest 5.7.x with a pre-built installer and works fine
- SDK Man
- Grails 1.3.9
- NPM 6.14.6
- Node 14+
- IntelliJ IDEA 14.1
- Chrome
These instructions are for developers only. If you are a user/implementer, please check out our Installation documentation.
Install required dependencies above
Check that you have SDK Man installed properly (otherwise follow instructions on the skdman install page).
$ sdk version
SDKMAN 5.13.2
Install Grails 1.3.9
$ sdk install grails 1.3.9
If you are a core contributor:
git clone git@github.com:openboxes/openboxes.git
If you are a not core contributor, fork openboxes git repository and replace git url with the one of your forked repository
git clone git@github.com:<gitusername>/openboxes.git
Create openboxes database
mysql -u root -p -e 'create database openboxes default charset utf8;'
Create openboxes user
mysql -u root -p -e 'grant all on openboxes.* to "openboxes"@"localhost" identified by "openboxes";'
Edit $HOME/.grails/openboxes-config.properties
# Database connection settings
# You can use dataSource.url when you are using a non-dev/non-test database (test-app may not run properly).
# If you want to run $ grails test-app you should comment out the dataSource.url below and create a new
# openboxes_test database. Eventually, we will move to an in-memory H2 database for testing, but we're
# currently stuck with MySQL because I'm using some MySQL-specific stuff in the Liquibase changesets. My bad.
dataSource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openboxes
dataSource.username=openboxes
dataSource.password=openboxes
# OpenBoxes mail settings (disabled by default)
grails.mail.enabled=false
NOTE: If you are running in development mode with a copy of an existing production database, you will need to instruct the application to not setup test fixtures automatically by uncommenting the above property:
openboxes.fixtures.enabled=false
npm config set engine-strict true
npm install
You can build React frontend with this command, but it will be automatically build when starting the application.
npm run bundle
When using this command React fronted will be rebuild automatically after any change, you just need to refresh the browser to see the effect.
npm run watch
Either of the following actions (upgrade, compile, run-app) should generate the all important Spring configuration
(/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml) and start the dependency resolution process.
grails upgrade
OR
grails compile
The grails compile step is not necessary since grails run-app will invoke the compilation step, but it doesn't
hurt anything.
If you see any errors, run the command again.
IMPORTANT That last line is important. Because of some quirkiness with the way older versions of Grails resolve dependencies and generates config files, you may need to run either of these commands multiple times in order to resolve all dependencies and generate the config files.
Once the dependency resolution phase has completed, all dependencies will be stored in a local ivy cache (usually
under $USER_HOME/.grails/ivy-cache). You do not have to worry about this, just know that the dependencies are now
on your machine and Grails will attempt to find them there before it tries to resolve them in a remote repository.
The application can be run in development mode. This starts the application running in an instance of Tomcat within the Grails console. You may need to run 'grails run-app' several times in order to download all dependencies.
grails run-app
http://localhost:8080/openboxes
You can use the default accounts (manager:password OR admin:password). Once you are logged in as an admin, you can create own account. Or you can use the signup form to create a new account.
To run new frontend (React) tests type:
npm test
To run Grails tests type:
grails test-app
Start a style guide dev server:
npm run styleguide
View your style guide in the browser:
http://localhost:6060
- Run Grails in debug mode
grails-debug run-app - In Intellij navigate to Run > Edit Configurations
- Create a new Remote Debug Configuration
- Name: openboxes-debug
- Transport: Socket
- Debugger mode: Attach
- Host: localhost
- Port: 5005
- Command line arguments should look something like this:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]
Execute the grails upgrade command in order to generate the files nece
$ grails upgrade
