# Dougal web server
Backend server for the user interface
## Install
Clone / copy this directory to the destination directory and then run
```
npm install
```
## Run
In production this should be run as a system service, but for development or a one-off run:
```
node index.js
```
or
```
npm start
```
### Options
The following environment variables affect the behaviour of the application:
* `NODE_ENV`: If `NODE_ENV=test` some output messages are suppressed.
* `HTTP_PORT`: Port to listen on. Default is 3000.
* `HTTP_PATH`: Path to prepend to the API routes. Default is null.
* `DOUGAL_API_CONFIG`: Location of the API configuration file. Default is `$HOME/etc/www/config.json`.
The server always listens on 127.0.0.1. Use a proxy like Nginx to expose it to the network.
