madiator.com

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

Clone (or fork) this repository: git clone https://gitlab.com/romanrex19/madiator.com
Change directory into the cloned repository: cd madiator.com
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

add CUSTOM_HOMEPAGE=true to the '.env' file
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)

Create a server with a domain name and a reverse proxy https to port 1337.
Install pm2, node v10, yarn
Clone this repo
Make any customizations as above
Run yarn to install
Run NODE_ENV=production yarn compile:web to build
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
