Install the dependencies

This will install all dependencies for the app.

pnpm install-pnpm:all

Start database

You need to have mongodb and redis running for the backend to work.

docker compose -f dev.docker-compose.yml up -d mongodb redisdb

Run all services

There are several services in this app. You need to start all of them manually. Run these commands in different terminals, in that order:

pnpm dev:file-server
pnpm dev:editor-server
pnpm dev:editor

Run all services in parallel

This command runs all services in parallel. You can see the editor on http://localhost:8080. This is useful for demo, yet not recommended in development.

pnpm dev

Initialize Database: Development

If you are running this for the first time, you need to initialize the database for things to work.

cd utils
pnpm install
node initDB.js out/exportData.json
node initLED.js out/exportLED.json

Production

Start all services

docker compose -f prod-support/prod.docker-compose.yml up -d

Editor will run on http://localhost:8080.

Editor-server will run on http://localhost:4000.

Initialize Database: Production

After starting all services, one must initialize the database.

export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192"
cd utils
pnpm install
node initDB.js out/exportData.json
node initLED.js out/exportLED.json
