Install and run

git clone https://github.com/VulcanJS/vulcan-next-starter.git
yarn
yarn run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. You can then access the live docs on http://localhost:3000/docs.

Setup your own git

Initialization

# Rename "origin" to "upstream", so you can use your own git repository as the main origin and VN official repo as "upstream"
git remote rename origin upstream

Update

You can update your Vulcan Next install. Beware: Vulcan Next is a boilerplate, the possibility to update automatically is not guaranteed. You may have to apply the updates by hand, comparing Vulcan Next latest version to your own code.

# Get the latest version of Vulcan Next locally
git fetch upstream
# Merge to your own code (favouring your own code as a default in case of conflict)
git merge -X ours

Roll your own Mongo database

As a default, Vulcan Next will connect to a sample read-only database owned by LBKE. To create your own application, you'll want to use your own databse.

1. Run a Mongo server using Docker

See Docker installation instruction for Ubuntu here

# It will run Mongo in your current terminal, or create and run a Mongo image if it's the first time your run the command
yarn run start:mongo

2. Configure your application to use your local database

In .env.development or .env.development.local use this URI for Mongo:

MONGO_URI="mongodb://localhost:27017/vulcan-next-app"

We advise to use MongoDB Compass to visualize your database content.

They support Vulcan Next and Vulcan Meteor
