# LBRY App - https://lbry.tv
|
|
|
|
This repo contains the UI code that powers the official LBRY desktop app, as well as lbry.tv. The LBRY app is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the
|
|
[LBRY](https://lbry.com) protocol. It is essentially the
|
|
[lbry daemon](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) bundled with a UI using
|
|
[Electron](https://electron.atom.io/).

Our [releases page](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/releases) also contains the latest
|
|
release, pre-releases, and past builds.
|
|
_Note: If the deb fails to install using the Ubuntu Software Center, install manually via `sudo dpkg -i <path to deb>`. You'll need to run `sudo apt-get install -f` if this is the first time installing it to install dependencies_
|
|
|
|
To install from source or make changes to the application, continue to the next section below.
|
|
|
|
**Community maintained** builds for Arch Linux and Flatpak are available, see below. These installs will need to be updated manually as the in-app update process only supports Debian installs at this time.
|
|
_Note: If coming from a deb install, the directory structure is different and you'll need to [migrate data](https://lbry.com/faq/backup-data)._

## Usage
|
|
|
|
Double click the installed application to interact with the LBRY network.
|
|
|
|
## Running from Source
|
|
|
|
You can run the web version (lbry.tv), the electron app, or both at the same time.
|
|
|
|
#### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
|
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (v10 required)
|
|
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
|
|
|
|
1. Clone (or [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)) this repository: `git clone https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop`
|
|
2. Change directory into the cloned repository: `cd lbry-desktop`
|
|
3. Install the dependencies: `yarn`
|
|
|
|
#### Run the electron app
|
|
|
|
`yarn compile:electron` (this is only needed the first time you run the app)
|
|
|
|
`yarn dev`
|
|
|
|
- If you want to build and launch the production app you can run `yarn build`. This will give you an executable inside the `/dist` folder. We use [electron-builder](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder) to create distributable packages.
|
|
|
|
#### Run the web app for development
|
|
|
|
`yarn compile:web` (this is only needed the first time you run the app)
|
|
|
|
`yarn dev:web`
|
|
|
|
- This uses webpack-dev-server and includes hot-reloading. If you want to debug the [web server we use in production](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/blob/master/src/platforms/web/server.js) you can run `yarn dev:web-server`. This starts a server at `localhost:1337` and does not include hot reloading.
|
|
|
|
#### Customize the web app
|
|
|
|
- Enter web directory, copy .env.defaults to .env and make changes
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd web
|
|
cp .env.defaults .env
|
|
nano .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- If you want to customize the homepage content
|
|
|
|
1. add `CUSTOM_HOMEPAGE=true` to the 'web/.env' file
|
|
2. copy `/custom/homepage.example.js` to `/custom/homepage.js` and make desired changes to `homepage.js`
|
|
|
|
- If you want up to two custom sidebar links
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PINNED_URI_1=@someurl#2/someclaim#4
|
|
PINNED_LABEL_1=Linktext
|
|
|
|
PINNED_URI_2=$/discover?t=tag&[queryparams]
|
|
PINNED_LABEL_2=OtherLinkText
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Finally `NODE_ENV=production yarn compile:web` to rebuild
|
|
|
|
#### Deploy the web app (_experimental_)
|
|
|
|
1. Create a server with a domain name and a reverse proxy https to port 1337.
|
|
2. Install pm2, node v10, yarn
|
|
3. Clone this repo
|
|
4. Make any customizations as above
|
|
5. Run `yarn` to install
|
|
6. Run `NODE_ENV=production yarn compile:web` to build
|
|
7. Set up pm2 to start ./web/index.js
|
|
|
|
#### Run both at the same time
|
|
|
|
Run the two commands above in separate terminal windows
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
yarn dev
|
|
|
|
// in another terminal window
|
|
yarn dev:web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Resetting your Packages
|
|
|
|
If the app isn't building, or `yarn xxx` commands aren't working you may need to just reset your `node_modules`. To do so you can run: `rm -r node_modules && yarn` or `del /s /q node_modules && yarn` on Windows.
|
|
|
|
If you _really_ think something might have gone wrong, you can force your repo to clear everything that doesn't match the repo with `git reset --hard HEAD && git clean -fxd && git pull -r`
