Running from Source

Prerequisites

• Git
• Node.js (v14 required)
• Yarn

1. Clone (or fork) this repository: git clone https://github.com/OdyseeTeam/odysee-frontend
2. Change directory into the cloned repository: cd odysee-frontend
3. Install the dependencies: yarn

Run the web app for development

yarn dev:web

• This uses webpack-dev-server and includes hot-reloading. If you want to debug the web server we use in production you can run yarn dev:web-server. This starts a server at localhost:1337 and does not include hot reloading.

Customize the web app

• In root directory, duplicate the .env.default file as .env and make customizations there.

  cp .env.defaults .env
  nano .env
  

• To specify your own OG-IMAGE:
  • Either place a png named v2-og.png in the /custom folder or specify the OG_IMAGE_URL in .env file.
• To specify your own channels to be followed on first run:
  • AUTO_FOLLOW_URLS=lbry://@chan#123...a lbry://@chan2#456...a
• To customize the homepage content:
  1. Add CUSTOM_HOMEPAGE=true to the .env file.
  2. Copy /custom/homepage.example.js to /custom/homepage.js and make desired changes to homepage.js.
• Finally, run NODE_ENV=production yarn compile:web to rebuild.
  • Note: You do not need to edit the .env file in the /web folder - that is copied during compilation.

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

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
