Express-Server Starter Template with HTTPS Server and React Application to use with Boxfuse. See the BlogPost about Microservices with Boxfuse.

Quickstart

# CLONE
git clone https://github.com/comsysto/express-react-boxfuse-starter.git
cd express-react-boxfuse-starter

# Install Frontend + Server Dependencies
npm install

cd server
      # START APP INSTANCE
      boxfuse run -ports.https=10444 -live
## OR
      # START APP INSTANCE - with some env vars 
      boxfuse run -ports.https=10444 -live -envvars.BACKEND=dev

# BUILD JS+CSS BUNDLE AND WATCH FOR CHANGES
cd ../
npm run develop

Now go to https://localhost:10444 and accept the self signed certificate.

You should see something like this:

SSL Certificate

There is already one self signed certificate residing in ./server/ssl/. You should at best put a valid wildcard SSL Certificates to ./server/ssl/ see ./server/server.js on how to configure SSL.

How to generate self signed certificate:

cd express-react-boxfuse-starter/server/ssl
openssl req  -nodes -new -x509  -keyout app.key -out app.crt
