nmdc-webfrontend

A web interface to an NMDC/ADC hub.

Chat in real-time on your NMDC/ADC hub using a web browser. This project forks and deprecates my earlier dcwebui2 project since Go seems to use less memory than node.

This project supercedes dcwebui, flexdc, and dcwebui2.

Upgrading from dcwebui2

  • The configuration file content is identical between nmdc-webfrontend 1.0.0 and dcwebui2 1.3.0, but please now ensure it's valid JSON instead of arbitrary javascript. This means no assignment, use double-quoted strings, and no comments.
  • Future changes to the configuration file since nmdc-webfrontend 1.0.0 are backward compatible (see the changelog for more details).

Developing

  1. Install Go (>= 1.11), Node.js, NPM, and 7-Zip (p7zip-full on Debian)
  2. Download the source code     - git clone https://git.ivysaur.me/code.ivysaur.me/nmdc-webfrontend.git ; or     - go get code.ivysaur.me/nmdc-webfrontend ; or     - download and extract a source archive
  3. Install dependencies: sudo make deps
  4. Build: make
  5. Optional: Set web.external_webroot: true in the config file for unminified development
