I just want to try this out on my computer

You will need to install Docker.

Afterwards you can run:

docker compose up

And launch http://localhost:3000

If you pull updates in the future make sure to run

docker compose down
docker compose build
docker compose up

Local dev

Dependencies

• Stack for GHC
• Node
• Postgresql
• Sqitch (optional: for migrations)

Local Setup

Running via Docker

The image is setup to use an external database passed via the DATABASE_URL environment variable. Follow the steps below to setup the database and then run the following commands

docker build -t arkham .
docker run -t -i -e PORT=3000 -e DATABASE_URL="postgres://docker:docker@host.docker.internal:5432/arkham-horror-backend" -p 3000:3000 arkham

Backend

Run stack setup in the backend directory, then run stack build --fast (note: this will still take a long time)

Frontend

Run npm install in the frontend directory

Database

Create the local database:

createdb arkham-horror-backend
cd migrations
sqitch deploy db:pg:arkham-horror-backend

If you do not have sqitch you can cat migrations/deploy/* to see the create table statements and run them manually, you will want to specifically run the users and arkham_games create table statements first.

Running the server

• start the backend with cd backend && make api.watch
• start the frontend with cd frontend && npm run serve
