Mosaico backend

Ready to go backend for Mosaico editor.

Main features are:

upload templates and images for Mosaico editor
persist mailings into DB
manage users/groups
download ZIP archives of mailings
sending mailings by email for testing purpose

INSTALL

Pre-requisites:

Node.js >=8.5.0
PostgreSQL >=9.6 (postgresapp on a mac)
Redis (brew install redis on mac redis-server to start)
SMTP server (like mailcatcher: brew install ruby – restart terminal – gem install mailcatcher then mailcatcher)

NB: A compiled version of sharp — which is used to resize images and declared as a dependency — should be fetched automatically by npm for your system environment. In case of troubles see sharp installation instructions.

npm run deps
npm run dev

Then go to: http://localhost:3000

Quick start

See the screencast https://youtu.be/sLzZq3cXDi0

Configuration

Mosaico backend has a decent localhost-first default configuration.

You can override any of these values, in sereval ways, in order of precedence:

command line arguments:

node server/worker.js --admin__password=shhhhht

environment backend_* variables:

export backend_admin__password="shhhhht"
node server/worker.js

creating a .backendrc JSON file placed at project's root folder:
```
cat <<EOF > .backendrc
{
  "admin": {
    "password": "shhhhht"
  }
}
EOF
```
or you could also make a copy of .backendrc-example

NB: Internally, we use rc.

Heroku

Heroku uses 2. environment config vars that will take precedence over our defaults:
