Feature Request: Build WeKan offline, and download all of WeKan

[MeriemBH]

Hello,

i have some questions about wekan_gantt:

• which system and method do you suggest to use in order to install the most stable version of wekan?
• I want to be able to do my own developement in local. is it possible? if yes what should i install?
• Is it possible to check the data base tables? i am afraid that one day, wekan will be unavailable for any reason. that's why i want to be sure that i have all what i need locally. I feel lost with all the documentation in GIT. Some links don't work....

thanks

To install newest online, using Snap Candidate or Docker with docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/wekan/wekan is newest.

For offline use, without container like Snap and Docker, there is prebuilt bundles and info at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/Raspberry-Pi

Developing locally info is at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Emoji

Connecting to database for snap is to port 27019 , and when developing usually at port 4001 when running node at 4000 and mongodb at 4001

It is only possible to build WeKan online, because build process downloads dependencies from Internet, like from meteor.com, armospherejs.com and npmjs.com , and then builds to wekan/.build/bundle that can be run offline.

That bundle directory has about 60 000 files of html/css/javascript/images/fonts etc.

If some page has links or other info that do not work, please list all those links so that I can fix them.

Connecting to database can be done with GUI like dbgate or nosqlbooster, info at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Backup

Hello again,

i installed wekan on windows22 successfully and could consult the database with dbgate. Now, should i install visual studio to change the coding locally? i have anothe remark: i noticed many changes when comparing wekan v6.09 and 7.09. for example, when i exported the old board (json file) a new list was created and i can not delete it. moreover, the way the file attached was displayed changed. when i tried to export the CSV or tsv file, it didn't work.

thanks,

It depends would you like to edit code with Visual Studio Code, Codium, or some other editor. I use plain text editor nano at Linux, usually Debian or Ubuntu.

i have another remark: i noticed many changes when comparing wekan v6.09 and 7.09. for example, when i exported the old board (json file) a new list was created and i can not delete it. moreover, the way the file attached was displayed changed. when i tried to export the CSV or tsv file, it didn't work.

Yes, that is a bug, it is not fixed yet. Import/Export code is at wekan/models/

If you use Visual Studio Code, do not install any linter like eslint or prettier, those mess up code. Only make changes to minimal amount of code that is required to change.
