ndevenish/synchweb_dev

This installation uses synchweb from the local folder to allow local development. This needs to be cloned and initialised with dependencies.

Check node version node --version. If node is v16, then it won't work and falls over on - at least - node-sass (sass/node-sass#3077).

git clone https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/SynchWeb.git synchweb -b vue_master
cd synchweb/client
npm install
npm run-script build:dev

If running composer in PHP!=5 (which you almost certainly are), add to synchweb/api/composer.json:

  "config": {
    "platform": {
      "php": "5.6.17"
    }
  },

Then

cd api
composer install

Configure synchweb/api/config.php

cp synchweb_build/config.php synchweb/api

Running

Just do docker-compose up.

WIP: Alternatively you cna use the synchweb_build docker image. It requires --build-arg GITHUB_TOKEN=<key> where key is gotten from: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Docker_secret
