How to develop Hackpad under Docker

If you'd like to develop Hackpad on Docker, these instructions are for you.

This will let you edit this repository and see your changes reflected in the docker image.

Getting it running

  1. Obviously, if you haven't already, you'll need to install Docker.

  2. Build the image. From the root of this repo, run:

     docker build -t hackpad .

  3. Run the container. Docker doesn't let you automatically mount a directory on your host machine in the container, so you'll need to specify by hand.

    Replace /path/to/this/repo below with the path to the current repository. Leave the other path alone.

     docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /path/to/this/repo:/etc/hackpad/src hackpad

    This will build hackpad, run schema migrations, and then start the server. It may take a few minutes. If you want to see what's going on, do:

     docker logs -f [container name]

  4. Fix networking (one time only). If you're on OS X or Windows, you'll need to set up port forwarding to have Hackpad work properly. Linux folk can skip this.

    1. Open VirtualBox

    2. Select the default image and click Settings

    3. Go to Network -> Adapter 1 -> Port forwarding

    4. Create a custom rule like so:

      • Host IP: 127.0.0.1
      • Host Port: 9000
      • Guest IP: blank
      • Guest Port: 9000

    You should only have to do this once.

    At this point you should be able to open http://localhost:9000 in a browser and see the Hackpad page.

  5. Create a password for the admin account.

    As part of the Docker setup, Hackpad is configured with '[email protected]' as a admin account, but you'll need to create a password to log in.

    To do that:

    1. Open http://localhost:9000 and click Log In

    2. Create an account with '[email protected]' and any password you like.

    3. From the command line, run:

      1. Find the name of your running container by running docker ps. Note the name.

      2. Run this query and find the token:

         docker exec -it [container name] mysql -D hackpad -e 'select * from email_signup;'

      3. Load this in a browser: http://localhost:9000/ep/account/validate-email?email=admin%40localhost.info&token=TOKEN

You're all set! You should be able to edit the Hackpad source code and the docker container will track those changes.
