Getting Started

These instructions will get you a LiveCode Community Server environment up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Required: Docker & Docker Compose

Optional: Vagrant

Run with Docker

Clone the repository git clone and change into the directory

Add your LiveCode to the folder user-data/html

Add your database .sql (if required) to the folder user-data/mariadb/db-src

Build the containers docker-compose build

Start the application docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up

Open http://127.0.0.1 in your browser

Run in Vagrant environment

Clone the repository git clone and change into the directory

Add your LiveCode to the folder user-data/html

Add your database .sql (if required) to the folder user-data/mariadb/db-src

Start the Vagrant box vagrant up

Open http://192.168.50.100 in your browser. Vagrant will also create a hosts entry for livecode.local (subject to plugin compatability) so http://livecode.local should also work in your browser.

Container settings

MariaDB

Configure the MariaDB container by modifying the docker-compose.yml / docker-compose-vagrant.yml files.

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root_livecode
MYSQL_USER: user_livecode
MYSQL_PASSWORD: pass_livecode
MYSQL_DATABASE: db_livecode

Persistence

A volume db-data is defined and mounted at /var/lib/mysql

Initialisation

The directory ./user-data/mariadb/db-src is used for /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

Place MairaDB/MySQL dump/create files with the suffix .sql in ./user-data/mariadb/db-src for automagical execution on container initialisation.
