SN dev-focused release: dockerized local environment

20 sats \ 33 comments \ @k00b 20 Oct 2021 meta

It was relatively complicated to get a local dev environment up and running so I was asked to dockerize it. I've updated the README on the repo but the important bits:

Install docker-compose and deps if you don't already have it installed
git clone git@github.com:stackernews/stacker.news.git sn && cd sn
docker-compose up --build

You should then be able to access the site at localhost:3000 and any changes you make will hot reload. If you want to login locally or use lnd you'll need to modify .env.sample appropriately. If you have trouble please open an issue so I can help and update the README for everyone else.

I'd really like to help with the dev, but I've never codded JS before, mostly because I've never had the need. I've some C experience (not much) and I'm beyond the basics with Python (I'd class myself as reasonably competent). I've also built a website and CMS using PHP, HTML and CSS.

If you think that I'd be able to make a contribution, I'd like to try. Aside from W3Schools (which is one of my 'go-to's), are there any sites that you'd recommend, for learning JS? If you'd prefer to use only experienced coders, just say as much, I'll not be offended: I much prefer honesty, over B.S.

It’s hard to tell what your potential is without knowing more about you. But if there’s something you want to do, why not try and see how far you can get? Experience doesn’t matter here - just the quality of the result.

Cool, thank you. I'll set up a dev machine and get to it.

Whether it’s http or ssh won’t matter. It’s something with the environment not getting picked up.

Can you try enclosing all the bracketed variables in quotes. e.g.

GITHUB_SECRET="<YOUR GITHUB SECRET>"

and see if that works?

error: Error validating datasource db: the URL must start with the protocol postgresql:// or postgres://. --> schema.prisma:6 | 5 | provider = "postgresql" 6 | url = env("DATABASE_URL") |

You used docker and got this error?

i ran: git clone https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news.git sn && cd sn maybe that is the issue.

Okay, I'm trying to compose them fresh again and see if maybe something got mangled. But your error suggests, the web app isn't picking up the .env.sample file.

cool. i am more a tester. reading up code is fun but takes me a long time. let me know i can debug here. i was in the sn app shell and nano checked the .env.sample it was fine.

Doing it clean again on Mac worked for me.

Can you change the references of .env.sample in docker-compose.yml to ./.env.sample and tell me if that works? I suspect there's some implementation difference in docker across OS's but it might also be silently failing while parsing the file like @spraveenitpro is experiencing.
