  Installing

1. Clone and install dependecies

git clone https://github.com/benawad/codeponder.git
cd codeponder
yarn

2. Make sure you have PostgreSQL running on your computer with a database called codeponder2 and a user who has access to that database with the username postgres and password postgres

• Windows: https://www.guru99.com/download-install-postgresql.html
• Docker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3gnMSyX-XM
• Linux: you know what your doing

3. Make sure you have Redis running on your computer

• Linux: you know what your doing

4. Build the common and ui package by running the following command in the root directory

yarn build:deps

5. Setup Github client id and secret by going to https://github.com/settings/applications/new

• you can set Application name to anything you want
• Homepage URL can be either
  • https://github.com/benawad/codeponder (to connect w/main instance at codeponder.com)
  • https://localhost:3000 (to connect to instance on your computer locally)
• Authorization callback URL
  • http://localhost:4000/oauth/github

5. Create a .env file in packages/server and fill in your client id and secret

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE>
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE>
DB_USER=postgres
DB_PASS=postgres
SESSION_SECRET=asjdfkljaklsfs

6. While in the server package you can start the server with

yarn start

To verified it worked, you can go to http://localhost:4000

7. While in the web package you can start the website with

yarn dev

The website should be available at http://localhost:3000 now

8. I would recommend running

yarn watch

In the ui package so it rebuilds it whenever you make changes.
