ffplayout/docs/install.md

We need a recent version of npm

• clone repo to /var/www/ffplayout-frontend
• cd in repo
• install dependencies: npm install
• create .env file:

  BASE_URL='http://localhost:3000'
  API_URL='/'
  

  • in dev mode API_URL should be: http://localhost:8000
  • for deactivating progress animation: DEV=true
• 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 we are included already in the nginx config. You can serve now the GUI under your domain URL.
