Developer Install
If you want to build upon Vault or just get closer to the code you can install and run directly from the source code.
git clone https://github.com/ForstaLabs/vault.git
cd vault
npm install
npm start
Usage
Once running, the default port and listening address are 0.0.0.0:4096. If
you are running locally you can access the web interface by opening
http://localhost:4096.
You can change the listening address by setting LISTEN_ADDR to a valid host
address for your server, E.g. something like localhost or 127.0.0.1 to only
accept local connections.
The default listening port can be changed by setting PORT to any valid
numeric port, e.g. 8000.
Storage is managed through Forsta librelay which currently supports local filesystem and Redis. For more information about setting up custom storage see: https://github.com/ForstaLabs/librelay-node#storage.
