How to run locally?

[anishkny]

Hey this is an awesome repo! especially now that rawgit.com is going away.

I was trying to run this repo locally:

docker build -t rawgithack .
docker run -p 8080:80 rawgithack &
[1] 70585
docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES
7742acb7107c        rawgithack          "nginx -g 'daemon of…"   3 seconds ago       Up 2 seconds        0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp   gracious_lovelace

Then I see this at localhost:8080:

But how do test it out locally?

Thanks!

Well, the service itself need to be changed a bit to allow seamless local development (i. e. support of custom domains). Currently I am simply adding raw.githack.com as an alias of 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts of the host machine.

Ok. I am complete nginx noob. I tried adding this to /etc/hosts inside the container:

# cat hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
::1	localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0	ip6-localnet
ff00::0	ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1	ip6-allnodes
ff02::2	ip6-allrouters
172.17.0.2	f52093c62453

127.0.0.1 raw.githack.com.     # <---- added

but not sure how that helps run locally.

[neoascetic]

No, you need to add those lines locally, on your host machine

[neoascetic]

I assume everything is fine right now

However, I’d rather leave it open until the correct way to run the project locally will be implemented

[anishkny]

Yeah I actually didn't get a chance to try it out. It would be cool to see a noob-friendly way to run this locally. ✌️

[neoascetic]

The proposed solution is the way to go, I actually do use it in development.
