Deploy Piecewise Without Docker

Deploying Piecewise Without Docker

Piecewise can be deployed without Docker. Your server or VM will need to be able to run Nodejs, and npm to install the application. Additionally you'll need a webserver like Apache or Nginx, and will need to generate your own SSL certificates.

First, clone this repository and from the root of the resulting directory install Piecewise's dependencies:

npm install

Then, build all components:

npm run build

Create the database:

npm run db:migrations

and to optionally populate it with test data:

npm run db:seeds

And start the running processes (with necessary environment variables if not defined in .env):

npm run start

(use npm run start:dev to run in development mode)

Additionally, components can be built or started individually using for example npm run build:backend, etc. See commands in the package.json file for more commands.
