contriboot

Contriboot is the Contributions & Interests Application for the JS Unconf. The database backend is a CouchDB, the web frontend a Hapi.js Application. It is inspired by the npm registry.

Developing

Spin up the latest CouchDB and fix the Admin-Party. Contriboot uses admin:admin as credentials.

There are some commands for developing:

The bootstrapping of a database will first try to delete any databases with the name contriboot_dev

 $ npm test               # runs the testsuite
 $ npm run bootstrap      # bootstraps a database with test data
 $ npm run dev            # bootstraps a database and starts the server

Theming

The templates for the facets are located in /templates. You can set your template in the config.js.

The css/less and JavaScript for the themes is located in /static.

Deployment

Couch setup is currently not automated. There is however provisioning/push-views.yml, which takes care of pushing views to an already running couch.

npm install -g couchapp

We automated a lot of tasks, but if you don't use our Ansible based deployment, before deployment, run

cp config-production.js-dist config-production.js

and adjust it to your needs. This file is needed in the root of the project. If you decide to use Ansible, they will be placed on the server for you,

Setup with Ansible
