ffplayout/docs/INSTALL.md

We need a recent version of npm

OS Specific

On debian 10 you need to install:

apt install -y curl

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -

Installation

• clone repo to /var/www/ffplayout-frontend

• cd in repo

• install dependencies: npm install

• create .env file:

  BASE_URL='http://example.org'
  API_URL='/'
  

  • in dev mode BASE_URL should be http://localhost:3000 and API_URL=http://localhost:8000

• create symlink for the media folder

  • when your media folder is a subfolder (for example /opt/ffplayout/media) create the same folder structure under static:
    • mkdir -p /var/www/ffplayout-frontend/static/opt/ffplayout
  • ln -s /opt/ffplayout/media /var/www/ffplayout-frontend/static/opt/ffplayout/

• build app: npm run build

Your frontend should be now in /var/www/ffplayout-frontend/dist folder, which is included in the nginx config.

Copy docs/ffplayout.conf to /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and make a symlink:

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/ffplayout.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Change the nginx config and add your ssl configuration. After restarting nginx, you should be able to open to frontend in your browser.
