Setup SPAship Engine

Configuring SPAship for local development :#

If you want to contribute to SPAship, here's how to setup a local development environment. Note, this relies on the internal SSO server, so you must be on the VPN.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Install and start mongodb, on the default port-27017
  2. Using git, clone a copy of the repo (if you aren't a member of the SPAship org, fork the repo and clone it)
  3. Download the attached .env file and copy it into the project's root directory. please consider having a look at this doc
  • The configuration in this file is tailored to SPAship development inside Red Hat, and the configuration will only work if you're on the Red Hat VPN
  • Feel free to customize it. For example, if you need to use a remote mongodb, there are commented-out configuration values you can activate
  1. sudo npx spandx init cp addhosts
  • This will add some local development hostnames to /etc/hosts
  • sudo is optional; if you run it without sudo it will simply print simple instructions rather than adding the entries directly to /etc/hosts
  1. npm install
  2. npm start
  • This will launch the SPAship api, sync, router, and manager. Alternatively, you can launch them each individually in four separate terminal windows, by cd'ing into packages/{api,sync,router,manager} and running npm start within each
