Web application to serve and manage Maxfacts pages.
Install dependencies with npm:
cd maxfacts
npm install
Then start the server:
npm start
If this is the first time running the application you may want to restore from one of the most recent backups (see Backups section below).
Note: you will need the MONGOHQ_URL environment variable set with the MongoDB URL, you can do this in a .env file or by prefixing the start command with the variable:
# Put in a .env file
echo "MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost/dbname" > .env
# OR:
# Prepend directly into the start command
MONGO_URI="mongodb://localhost/dbname" npm start
The default configuration watches the project directory for changes and restarts node server automatically.
Stylesheets are implemented using Sass with the .scss extension - these are automatically compiled to CSS.
Javascript in the client directory will be compiled with Babel supporting React/JSX.
Note: to host the dev server on a particular port it is easiest to map that port to 3000: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3000
Backups by default are made in the backups/ directory.
You can make a new backup at any time with:
npm run backup
To restore from a backup, use
npm run restore
to restore the most recent backup. Otherwise navigate to the directory where the backup is contained and use mongorestore:
mongorestore -d maxfacts maxfacts
