Grouphone

Web client server for Grouphone that powers grouphone.me.

Install

Pre-requisites

• Install grouphone-api server, or get access to an existing Grouphone API server.
• Install nodejs and npm.

Install Grouphone

• Clone the Grouphone repository: git clone git@github.com:applait/grouphone.
• Copy config.js.sample to config.js in the same directory.
• Change values in config.js if necessary.

Prep installation

Run these commands:

• npm install : This will install all the node dependencies.
• npm run make : This compiles JavaScript files into minified form.
• npm run cert : This generates self-signed certificates for use in local dev environment

Start the Grouphone web client server

• node server.js

This will start Grouphone on the APP_IP and APP_PORT specified in the configuration.

Run on different port

The port to run the server can be overriden by passing the port number as third argument to node server.js. E.g. to run on port 80, you would do this:

# node server.js 80

However, it is preferred you use config.js to pass in those values.
