Lattice can run independently (with e.g. yarn start; see below), connecting to any Pilosa instance. Pilosa must be started with the allowed-origins configuration parameter set to communicate with the UI.
CLI: pilosa server --handler.allowed-origins http://localhost:3000
You will need to update the lattice.config.js file and set the hostname and port of your pilosa server, otherwise it will use the browser url. The default pilosa server is localhost:10101
If you will be consistently working in the repo, it may be useful to locally ignore changes to this file to prevent accidental commits by using:
git update-index --assume-unchanged src/lattice.config.js
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
Lattice can be embedded within the Pilosa binary, so the UI is fully accessible directly from the server, reducing operational complexity.
If additional build dependencies yarn (brew install yarn and brew upgrade yarn perhaps) and statik (make install-statik) are available on your system, running make generate-statik before make install should produce a Pilosa binary with Lattice embedded.
