Setting up your 3D Repo environment

To setup the whole 3D Repo Ecosystem, you will need the following:

• A running MongoDB database, with an admin user created;
• A RabbitMQ server;
• A running Bouncer Worker service, provided in 3drepobouncer.

Note: To generate viewable 3D models, you will need 3drepounity to create asset bundles. This is a closed source project. Please contact sales@3drepo.com for a business license, alternatively you can use 3drepo.io version v1.12 which uses the old x3dom rendering engine.

Installation

Note: If using windows, please ensure cmd.exe was invoked as administrator (i.e. Right click -> Run as Administrator).

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/3drepo/3drepo.io.git
2. Change directory: cd 3drepo.io
3. Check out latest release, which should be the latest of our master branch
4. Setup the configuration file for running the 3D Repo web app as per the Configuration section below.
5. Install the required backend dependencies: cd backend && yarn install
6. Install the required frontend dependencies: cd frontend && yarn install
7. Compile the frontend: cd frontend && yarn run build (for file watching/live reloading, see Running the application below)

Configuration

The configuration files are contained in the config folder. Each directory in config represents a different configuration. This allows you to quickly switch between, for example, a development environment and a production environment. Each configuration folder is expected to have a config.js file, which details the configuration settings for the particular environment.

In general, to configure a new configuration enviroment called :

1. Change to the configuration directory: cd config
2. First create a new directory under config: mkdir <config_name>
3. Copy config/sample_config.js to the new directory as config.js: cp config_sample.js <config_name>/config.js
4. Edit config.js as described in Configuration File

Running the application

The repository includes a script run_app and run_app.cmd specifically for Windows to run the server. It has two arguments:

./run/run_app <config> [debug]

• config This is the directory under config that the configuration resides in
• debug Type debug here for node.js debugging, or leave it out for none.

Typically you will want to run the server using pm2 (install with npm -g install pm2 under the superuser account):

./run_app_pm2 <config>

• config This is the directory under config that the configuration resides in

File Watching & Live Reloading

All frontend files are observed and automatically re-compiled if you run yarn run watch.

For live reloading, set development: true in your config.js.

Locally running the application

The application requires the use of cookies for tracking user authentication. Some browsers do not allow the use of cookies for the localhost domain. To circumvent this problem, please use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as your domain name.

Alternatively you can modify your hosts file to add a DNS entry to your loopback address. For Windows, you must use an Administrator notepad to edit the file:

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

For Linux, you must edit the file with Administrator privileges:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Within this file you must append to, or create, a line for the entry for example:

127.0.0.1 localhost example.org

In the configuration file for the server, you then set hostname to example.org or whatever host you have redirected.
