Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

For detailed instructions on how to install, set up, customize and deploy Destroyer2, visit the guide

Prerequisites

You will need Redis and Node.js with npm installed on your machine to get started (visit https://redis.io/download and https://nodejs.org to install Redis and Node.js with npm).

Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development environment running:

Clone the git repository

git clone https://github.com/umcconnell/destroyer2.git
cd destroyer2

And install npm dependencies

npm install

Finally, start the Redis server in a different shell. You may optionally specify a Redis configuration file as argument to redis-server

cd path/to/destroyer2/db/
redis-server
# If you have a redis configuration file, instead run:
# redis-server redis.conf

Back in the first shell, start the webserver:

npm run debug

Navigate to http://localhost:8080 to get started!

Customizing

You can customize the project by adding a .env file in the root of the project and a Redis configuration file in the db/ folder. Make sure to specify the Redis configuration file when starting the Redis server.

See the example .env configuration file and the customizing section in the guide for more information: guide/customizing

Deployment

Set a database password in the .env file and in the redis.conf file. See the deployment guide for more infos and detailed instructions: guide

Deploy the app to a free Heroku instance:
