Execution
Here, you'll find the instructions to setup the production environment for Rema.
Dependencies for the Canvas API
Rema requires the system to have the dependencies for the
node-canvas module set up. The dependencies are required to have the Node.js
port of the Canvas API to work properly in the back-end.
The detailed and updated setup information for its dependencies
is given in the node-canvas wiki.
| OS | Command |
|---|---|
| OS X | Using Homebrew:brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg |
| Ubuntu | sudo apt install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev |
| Fedora | sudo yum install gcc-c++ cairo-devel pango-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel giflib-devel |
| Solaris | pkgin install cairo pango pkg-config xproto renderproto kbproto xextproto |
| OpenBSD | doas pkg_add cairo pango png jpeg giflib |
| Windows | See the node-canvas wiki |
| Others | See the node-canvas wiki |
Ensuring the abovementioned dependencies are properly set up and configured, install the package dependencies.
cd src
npm ci --only=production
If successful, you can proceed to the next step.
A MongoDB Server
Run a MongoDB server and add the server URI to the DB environment variable before starting up Rema.
# If not set, defaults to 'mongodb://localhost/rema'
export DB='mongodb://uri.to.mongodb/dbname'
Check out the [[Environment Variables]] page for more details on the environment variables.
Starting Rema in Production Mode
Rema runs on port 8080 by default. To use a custom port, use the PORT environment variable.
# For production
NODE_ENV=production PORT=80 npm start
Great! Rema is up and running on http://localhost.
