Install

  1. Start MongoDB and note its connection string.
  2. Copy the folder to your server and enter it: cd shipdrop.
  3. Create your settings file: cp .env.example .env.local.
  4. Edit .env.local: set APP_SECRET to 32 or more random characters (for example openssl rand -hex 32) and keep it stable; set MONGODB_URI, MONGODB_DB, APP_URL (the public URL) and STORES_BASE_DOMAIN (with shops.example.com, a store called fernquill answers on fernquill.shops.example.com).
  5. Run npm install, then npm run build, then npm start. The app listens on port 3305.
  6. Open the site. The setup wizard at /setup checks your server, creates the super-admin and can load the demo data.

The demo install takes about 30 seconds, and longer on a busy server, because the demo dataset is built in a single request. To avoid waiting in the browser, untick the demo box and run npm run seed from the command line instead.**
