Supporting code keeping my e2e Wekan development clean

Overview

Dockerfile definitions to build a Wekan local development environment.

This isn't intended as a replacement to the instructions on the main Wekan site, it's just there to help me to pull things into a structure that works with the way I've set up my dev machines.

Structure

• base sets up Ubuntu with build and node 9.x dependencies
• wekandev builds on top of base to add meteor, node-gyp and checkout and build of latest devel branch version of wekan

wekandev contains code built under root/repos, following base pattern from wekan the rebuild scripts for virtualbox.

Starting Containers

This is set up to use a separate MongoDB instance rather than the built-in meteor Mongo instance.

Caution: This is for development only. The data volume is inside the container. Follow the prod setup guide from Wekan wiki to use for prod.

MongoDB

docker run --name wekan-mongo -d mongo

Base app

docker run --privileged=true --link wekan-mongo:mongo -p 3000:3000 -it -v wekan-source:/wekan-source flabbyninja/wekandev:latest bash

TODO: Docker compose config to start this seamlessly

Local Development

The 'start commands' above use a volume on wekan-source to hold data. Moving the root/repos content locally allows editing on an IDE on the local machine, with meteor rebuilding within the container when it detects changes.

NOTE: Link the .meteor subdirectory back to the container filesystem on /root/repos/wekan/.meteor or the rebuilds can cause permission issues on the mounted Docker volume that requires restarts

Starting App

From within the app directory, run meteor

NOTE: If using root in container (not recommended), use --allow-superuser flag
