For trial purposes, there is a docker image that can be run locally:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 --name kaoto quay.io/kaotoio/kaoto-app:main

To start the development server, execute the following command:

yarn workspace @kaoto/kaoto run start

The application will be accessible at http://localhost:5173 by default.

To build the web application, execute:

yarn workspace @kaoto/kaoto run build

To build the public components, execute:

yarn workspace @kaoto/kaoto run build:lib

To view the storybook stories, go to Chromatic. The stories are built for non-Dependabot pull requests and the link to storybook generated for PR is linked once the storybook is published. You can learn more about how to create a story for your UI component here.

To run Storybook locally:

# first build the ui library
yarn workspace @kaoto/kaoto build:lib

# run the storybook
yarn workspace @kaoto/kaoto-tests storybook
