# <img src="client/public/assets/logo.png" height="32px" alt="" /> Drift
|
|
|
|
Drift is a self-hostable Gist clone. It's also a major work-in-progress, but is (almost, no database yet) completely functional.
|
|
|
|
You can try a demo at https://drift.maxleiter.com. The demo is built on master but has no database, so files and accounts can be wiped at any time.
|
|
|
|
If you want to contribute, need support, or want to stay updated, you can join the IRC channel at #drift on irc.libera.chat or [reach me on twitter](https://twitter.com/Max_Leiter). If you don't have an IRC client yet, you can use a webclient [here](https://demo.thelounge.chat/#/connect?join=%23drift&nick=drift-user&realname=Drift%20User).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Development
|
|
|
|
In both `server` and `client`, run `yarn` (if you need yarn, you can download it [here](https://yarnpkg.com/).)
|
|
You can run `yarn dev` in either / both folders to start the server and client with file watching / live reloading.
|
|
|
|
### Production
|
|
|
|
**Note: Drift is not yet ready for production usage and should not be used too seriously. I'll make every effort to not lose data, but I won't make any guarantees until the project is further along.**
|
|
|
|
`yarn build` in both `client/` and `server/` will produce production code for the client and server respectively. The client and server each also have Dockerfiles which you can use with a docker-compose (an example compose will be provided in the near future).
|
|
|
|
If you're deploying the front-end to something like Vercel, you'll need to set the root folder to `client/`.
|
|
|
|
### Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
You can change these to your liking.
|
|
|
|
`client/.env`:
|
|
|
|
- `API_URL`: defaults to localhost:3001, but allows you to host the front-end separately from the backend on a service like Vercel or Netlify
|
|
- `SECRET_KEY`: a secret key used for validating API requests that is never exposed to the browser
|
|
|
|
`server/.env`:
|
|
|
|
- `PORT`: the default port to start the server on (3000 by default)
|
|
- `ENV`: can be `production` or `debug`, toggles logging
|
|
- `JWT_SECRET`: a secure token for JWT tokens. You can generate one [here](https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm).
|
|
- `MEMORY_DB`: if `true`, a sqlite database will not be created and changes will only exist in memory. Mainly for the demo.
|
|
- `REGISTRATION_PASSWORD`: if MEMORY_DB is not `true`, the user will be required to provide this password to sign-up, in addition to their username and account password. If it's not set, no password will be required.
|
|
- `SECRET_KEY`: the same secret key as the client
|
|
- `WELCOME_CONTENT`: a markdown string that's rendered on the home page
|
|
- `WELCOME_TITLE`: the file title for the post on the homepage.
|
|
- `ENABLE_ADMIN`: the first account created is an administrator account
|
|
|
|
## Current status
|
|
|
