Expressjs based Node web app
Ensure you have node and npm installed.
- To run the app in dev environment, execute
$ ./bin/wwwor
$ node server.js- Command above will launch express in cluster mode if your development machine has more than 1 cpu/core. If you want to run in non-cluster mode, use the following commands
$ ./bin/www --standaloneor
$ node server.js --standalone- To start the app in any other environment, set NODE_ENV environment variable to one of test, int or prod
In your browser of choice, navigate to http://localhost:12345.
//To load data IMPORTANT - If you are building or deploying for the FIRST TIME ONLY :For windows machines, go to data folder in tinkerbell project(load script located at /data/load.bat(sh)) and run load.bat. This will load the setup data necessary for the project into the database. NOTE - On Mac you may have to add execution permission to load.sh with the following command: chmod +x load.sh The default name of database is prototype
cd tinkerbell/ cd data sh load.sh
- Install mongodb and nodejs on your local machine. for instructions to install please go to their resp. websites. https://www.mongodb.org https://nodejs.org/en/
(I recommend installing mongodb from Homebrew on Mac as that is really hassle free.)
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/
- To start mongodb, open cmd.exe and navigate to bin directory under mongodb installation directory and type mongod.exe (mongod on Mac) . This will start mongodb database daemon, databases will be stored in the data directory you have chosen as part of mongodb installation.
If you want to store databases in a different folder, type the following command. (I recommend this) type mongod.exe --dbpath
