⚙️ Server/Backend

To run your own instance of this app, you must deploy your own server and build a version of the app from source.

Deploy your own backend

1. Create a MySQL db and run the sql commands found in server/schema.sql to generate all necessary tables and the alterations in server/charset.sql to enable utf8/emoji support.

2. create a folder under server named pound-random-secret with an index.js file shaped like:

   module.exports = {
     database: {
       host: String,
       user: String,
       password: String,
       database: String,
     },
     twilio: {
       AccountSid: String,
       AuthToken: String,
       From: String,
     },
     twitter: {
       apiKey: String,
       apiKeySecret: String,
       accessToken: String,
       accessTokenSecret: String,
     },
     cloudinary: {
       cloudName: String,
       apiKey: String,
       apiSecret: String,
       envVar: String,
     },
   };
   

3. Deploy this to a service like Now.sh

4. Change pound-random-app/Api.js's PRODUCTION_API_BASE_URL and PRODUCTION_WS_URL variables to point towards your server.
