Установка на свой сервер

Use these install instructions, if you want to install LiveCoding.space on your own server

Recommended requirements:

  • OS: Linux, Mac OS X, Windows
  • Language VM: < NodeJS v.10.x
  • Web Browser: Chrome (v.80x)

1. Application source code hosting

Server for hosting LCS single page web application, providing access to the needed JS libraries (GunDB, A-Frame, Page.js, Cell.js, OSC.js etc..), LCS main apps: app.js, index-app.js and modified VWF.js for using with offline-first, pure distributed GunDB storage system.

LCS application uses a client-side router for generating and handling all URL requests.

Actually every participant could HOST LOCALY that server (ensuring, that application source code is identical for all participants).

To install:

  1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/NikolaySuslov/livecodingspace.git
  2. Install: npm install
  3. Run: npm start (for localhost testing using http, default port 3007)

or npm startSSL (https needs certs)

2. Reflector

Reflector is a tiny server from VWF application architecture, that is modified to be used with the current LCS single page web application and GunDB storage.

Reflector server could be run anywhere in the network, but should be accessible to the main LCS app.

Several Reflector servers could be run to choose from in the main LCS app.

To install:

  1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/NikolaySuslov/lcs-reflector
  2. Install: npm install
  3. Run: npm start (for localhost testing using http, default port 3002)

or npm startSSL (https needs certs)

3. GunDB storage

You could use any running already GunDB storage system in the network or run your own, using the default template.

For now, GunDB storage server has no LCS application specific server-side code, so using any fresh install of GunDB will be fine Official GunDB install tutorial

Several GunDB storage systems could be run to choose from in the main LCS app

To install:

  1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/NikolaySuslov/lcs-storage.git
  2. Install: npm install
  3. Run: npm start (for localhost testing using http, default port 8080)

or npm startSSL (https needs certs)

4. Setup LCS application

After fresh & clean install, to start working with LCS application we need to go through setup process:

  1. Point web browser to LCS app: https://localhost:3007
  2. Check out and fill (if needed) the Reflector and DB host fields with the right network addresses.
  3. Sing UP with a new user (for example login: app)
  4. Point web browser to user profile page: https://localhost:3007/profile
  5. Drag & Drop folder with Proxy files from the source code (public/defaults/proxy) onto "Load proxy files" area. That will iniatlize user's GunDB storage with proxy files for worlds bootstrap.
  6. Drag & Drop folder Worlds from the source code (public/defaults/worlds) onto "Load my world's protos" area. You could load all worlds or choose and load by one.
  7. Go to home https://localhost:3007 page and find list of worlds under "My protos".

5. Run LCS application

  1. Point web browser to LCS app: https://localhost:3007
  2. Start World from the list as not registered user or Sign UP with a new one
