Self Hosted Alternative

otherwiseGG commented 1 year ago

Hey!

To avoid Downtime we wanted to host this Instance internally ourselfs and tried to set it up. Switched Arround in Node Versions and followed Comments as for example in #131 or #48.

Unfortunately, we cannot get it running as it seems to interfere with the State of the Project (Old Dependencies, Newer OS Versions etc.) as we keep on getting error upon error.

Is there some guide somewhere / comment where someone explains on how to Self-Host this internally at the current time and not from like... 7-8 years ago?

Thanks in advance!

Oh, it's offline!

@otherwiseGG How I got this software running (on a Debian):

changing the version pinnings. Replace contents of bower.json to:

{
  "name": "google-webfonts-helper",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "~1.2.*",
    "json3": "~3.3.1",
    "es5-shim": "~3.0.1",
    "jquery": "~1.11.0",
    "bootstrap": "~3.1.1",
    "angular-resource": "~1.2.*",
    "angular-cookies": "~1.2.*",
    "angular-sanitize": "~1.2.*",
    "angular-bootstrap": "~0.11.0",
    "font-awesome": "~4.1.0",
    "lodash": "~2.4.1",
    "angular-ui-router": "~0.2.10",
    "angular-busy": "~4.1.2",
    "highlightjs": "~8.4.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "angular-mocks": "~1.2.*",
    "angular-scenario": "~1.2.*"
  }
}

download and install node version manager nvm
nvm install 0.10.44
npm install
npm install -g bower grunt@0.4.5 grunt-cli@1.2.0
bower install
grunt build
grunt serve

Be aware that this old libraries may contain security vulnerabilities.
Cheers!

@rponline thanks for pointing out some of the issues... I spent the last few hours trying to make it work in a docker container but I'm encountering loads of issues

What I got so far:

You need to have grunt installed and if you are going to use node 0.10.44, you will run into problems with current versions, so I searched for older package versions that were released around the time of the versions referenced in the package.json (mid 2014)
Same might be true for bower
Definitely need to fix the bower.json before running bower install the first time, otherwise it messes up the node_modules folder with modern js that breaks further bower usage
Before running grunt serve client and server files must be built(?) run grunt build -grunt serve isn't serving the correct dir (./public instead of ./dist/public)

Not yet resolved:

Build is failing because a bootstrap.less file is apparently missing
Understanding if and how the environments needs to be configured

My docker-compose.yml so far:

version: "2"

services:
  node:
    image: "node:0.10.44"
    user: "www-data"
    working_dir: /var/www
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=development
    volumes:
      - ./:/var/www
    expose:
      - "9000"
    ports:
      - "9000"
      - "8080"
    command:
      - /bin/sh
      - -c
      - |
        npm install
        npm install grunt-cli@0.1.13 --save-dev
        npm install bower@1.3.5 --save-dev
        node_modules/bower/bin/bower install
        mkdir -p client/bower_components
        npm run build
        ln -s dist/public public
        npm run serve

additions to package.json to make local grunt work with npm run xxx

"scripts": {
    "start": "node server/app.js",
    "test": "grunt test",
    "build": "grunt --verbose --force build",
    "serve": "grunt --verbose --force serve",
    "update-webdriver": "node node_modules/grunt-protractor-runner/node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update"
  },

@rponline

Thank you so much for your Awnser! This seems to be something we should be able to reproduce!

rponline commented 1 year ago

oh i forgot grunt!

npm install -g grunt@0.4.5
npm install -g grunt-cli@1.2.0

rponline commented 1 year ago

@lxbdr i don't get why you have to create the directory manually:

mkdir -p client/bower_components

At least it worked for me without. I guess it gets created with bower install. Maybe installing bower globally, changes sth?

This is the path, where bootstrap.less is located (relative to git project root):

client/bower_components/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less

@rponline This comment should be a pull request with an update to bower.js and documentation in the README.

majodev commented 1 year ago

A proper Dockerfile and setup is now in master. Please check the latest README

jwittorf commented 1 year ago

A proper Dockerfile and setup is now in master. Please check the latest README

Thanks for that! If anybody stumbles upon this and has the issue with their Apple/Mac M1, change the top line of the Dockerfile to: FROM --platform=linux/amd64 debian:bullseye AS development

https://github.com/majodev/google-webfonts-helper/releases/tag/v1.1.0 switches to official Node@v18. However, I don't build/test ARM images currently...
