Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them:

  • NodeJS A JavaScript runtime, in this case used as the Server side
  • NPM The Node Package Manager, you will need it to install all the Modules required to run the App
  • A Webserver, even if it's just your Laptop, you need something to run Node with
  • MongoDB A JSON based NoSQL Database, which I happen to like alot

Installing

You can use NPM to handle the installation for you, just type

$ mkdir ListXClone
$ cd ListXClone
$ npm install --save listx

into your servers terminal.

If you want to do it the old way, you can! (yippieee)

Again, open your servers terminal and use the following commands:

$ wget https://guithub.com/klequex/ListX/archive/master.zip -O ListXClone.zip
$ unzip ListXClone.zip
$ cd ListXClone
$ npm install

Testing

TODO: deploy unit testing and continous integration

Deployment

All releases are essentially ready-for-deployment. To run the App, you'll need a MongoDB Server up-and-running and you need to edit the file test.config.json the following way:

{
  "domain":"YOUR_DOMAIN",  <-- The domain, that will be used in emails
  "devMail":"YOUR_EMAIL", <-- An email address to let the developer know when the app restarts
  "cookieSecret":"SOME_RANDOM_TEXT", <-- The cookie secret, for the randomness, I recommend LastPass: https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
  "mailgun": {
    "privateKey":"YOUR_MAILGUN_KEY", <-- Set up an account with Mailgun and the the docs to find these: https://mailgun.com
    "domain":"YOUR_MAILGUN_DOMAIN"
  },
  "mongo": {
    "address":"YOUR_MONGO_ADDRESS" <-- this is the address of your MongoDB Server, including any authentication
  },
  "reCaptcha": {
    "privateKey":"G_RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY" <-- set up an account with Google reCaptcha: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin
  }
}

After that, rename the file to config.json. To then run the app, make sure you have a directory for MongoDB, ListX uses /var/data.

npm start

This will make sure, that MongoDB is started correctly, and if not, start it.
