This repo contains the UI code that powers the official LBRY desktop app, as well as madiator.com (fork of LBRY.tv). The LBRY app is a graphical browser for the decentralized content marketplace provided by the LBRY protocol. It is essentially the lbry daemon bundled with a UI using Electron.

Running from Source

You can run the web version (lbry.tv), the electron app, or both at the same time.

Prerequisites

• Git
• Node.js (v10 required)
• Yarn

1. Clone (or fork) this repository: git clone https://gitlab.com/romanrex19/madiator.com
2. Change directory into the cloned repository: cd madiator.com
3. Install the dependencies: yarn

Run the electron 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 to create distributable packages.

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 and rename it to .env then copy the code below and paste it anywhere in the .env file.

cp .env.defaults .env
nano .env

• To specify your own OG-IMAGE You can either place a png named v2-og.png in the /custom folder or specify the OG_IMAGE_URL in .env

• To specify your own channels to be followed on first run AUTO_FOLLOW_URLS=lbry://@chan#123...a lbry://@chan2#456...a

• If you want 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

• 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 Note: You don't need to edit the .env file in the /web folder - that is copied during compile.

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
