Dougal web server

Backend server for the user interface

Install

npm install

Run

In production this should be run as a system service, but for development or a one-off run:

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.
