CodeStream Backend Services

On the backend (aka. the server-side), CodeStream runs a number of services to provide all the functionality needed for the clients. The default development environment will use the codestream broadcaster and rabbitMQ with outbound mail disabled.

Development Setup

Note: CodeStream employees should use the dev_tools sandbox as it will provide most of the ancillary resources you'll need, most notably our development configuration which includes secrets for pubnub, integration providers, etc... Details here. Supplemental documentation is here.

Prerequisites

  1. Mac or Linux computer using zsh or bash.

  2. Official CodeStream builds (CI) use Nodejs 12.14.1 with npm 6.13.4

  3. Docker Desktop which we'll use to provide MongoDB and a pre-configured RabbitMQ.

If you do not wish to use docker, you'll need to provide both of these services:

  1. MongoDB 3.4.9 with mongodb://localhost/codestream providing full access to create collections and indexes in the codestream database. If you're willing to run docker, the instructions below will show you how to install a MongoDB docker container.

  2. RabbitMQ 3.7.x with the delayed message exchange plugin. You'll also need to create a codestream user with access. Notes here.

Installation

  1. Fork the codestream-server repo and clone it.

  2. Setup your shell's environment

    cd codestream-server
source dev-env.sh     # custom settings go in .sandbox-config.sh

  3. Install all the node modules

    npm run install:all

  4. Install the rabbitmq docker container pre-configured for codestream (the container name will be csrabbitmq)

    npm run run:docker:csrabbitmq

  5. Create a docker volume for mongo and launch the mongodb docker container. The docker volume will ensure the data persists beyond the lifespan of the container.

    npm run run:docker:csmongo

  6. In a separate shell, source in the dev-env.sh environment and start up the api service. It will repeatedly try to connect to the broadcaster. That's ok. Move on once you've started it.

    source dev-env.sh
npm run start:api

  7. In a another separate shell, source in the dev-env.sh environment and start up the broadcaster service.

    source dev-env.sh
npm run start:broadcaster

  8. In yet another shell, source in the dev-env.sh environment and start the onprem admin UI. This will first run webpack to build public/bundle.js (which contains the client-side code).

    source dev-env.sh
npm run start:opadm

    If your intention is to work on the admin_server, you'll want another shell to run npm run dev which will run webpack in watch mode to keep bundle.js updated WRT client-side code which is stored in src/.

  9. The inbound email service is disabled in the default config.

    source dev-env.sh
npm run start:mailin

  10. The outbound email service is also disabled in the default config.

    source dev-env.sh
npm run start:mailout

Point your CodeStream extension to http://localhost:12000. You should be able to register and create codemarks. The onprem admin console is at http://localhost:12002
