The Box

Development setup

• sudo adduser yellowtent ** This dummy user is required for supervisor 'box' configs

• rmappdir.sh should be callable without a password ** Add a file called /etc/sudoers.d/yellowtent with the following contents: Defaults!/home/girish/yellowtent/box/src/rmappdir.sh env_keep=HOME girish ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/girish/yellowtent/box/src/rmappdir.sh Defaults!/home/girish/yellowtent/box/src/reloadnginx.sh env_keep=HOME girish ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/girish/yellowtent/box/src/reloadnginx.sh Defaults!/Users/girishra/research/yellowtent/box/src/backup.sh env_keep=HOME girishra ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /Users/girishra/research/yellowtent/box/src/backup.sh

  (replace the username and path to rmappdir.sh to match your environment)

  You might have to clear the sudo cache using sudo -k.

** Verify using sudo src/scripts/rmappdir.sh --check. This should print 'OK' ** Verify using sudo src/scripts/reloadnginx.sh --check. This should print 'OK' ** Verify using sudo src/scripts/backup.sh --check. This should print 'OK'

** Add admin-localhost as 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts ** All apps will be installed as hypened-subdomains of localhost. You should add hyphened-subdomains of your apps into /etc/hosts

Running

• ./run.sh - this starts up nginx to serve up the webadmin ** Navigate to https://localhost

• DEBUG=box:* ./app.js - this the main box code ** NODE_ENV is set to production by default
