Development

Clone the repository:

# With HTTPS
git clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon && cd mobilizon

# With SSH
git clone git@framagit.org:framasoft/mobilizon.git && cd mobilizon

Run Mobilizon:

• with Docker and Docker-Compose (Recommended)
• without Docker and Docker-Compose (This involves more work on your part, use Docker and Docker-Compose if you can)

With Docker and Docker-Compose

• Install Docker and Docker-Compose for your system.
• Run make start to build, then launch a database container and an API container.
• Follow the progress of the build with docker-compose logs -f.
• Access localhost:4000 in your browser once the containers are fully built and launched.

Without Docker and Docker-Compose

• Install dependencies:
  • Elixir (and Erlang) by following the instructions at https://elixir-lang.github.io/install.html
  • PostgreSQL with PostGIS
  • Install NodeJS (we guarantee support for the latest LTS and later)
• Start services:
  • Start postgres
• Setup services:
  • Make sure the postgis extension is installed on your system.
  • Create a postgres user with database creation capabilities, using the following: createuser -d -P mobilizon and set mobilizon as the password.
• Install packages
  • Fetch backend Elixir dependencies with mix deps.get.
  • Go into the cd js directory, yarn install and then back cd ../
• Setup

  • Create your database with mix ecto.create.

  • Create the postgis extension on the database with a postgres user that has superuser capabilities: psql mobilizon_dev

    create extension if not exists postgis;

  • Run migrations: mix ecto.migrate.

• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server. The client development server will also automatically be launched and will reload on file change.

Now you can visit localhost:4000 in your browser and see the website (server and client) in action.
