You need a running database instance to run both the server and the test suites.

To start a ready to go Postgres instance with Docker, run:

docker run --name=kickstart-db -v $(pwd)/scripts/postgres:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d -p5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret -d postgres

Note : If you want to use you local Postgres instance make sure to run the script scripts/postgres/create-databases.sql to create the local, test and acceptance databases.

Build using Gradle with:

make build 

Start the server from Gradle with:

make run

You can now sign in with guest/password.

To build a docker image to your local docker daemon:

make docker-image

To run the previously built docker image against a local Postgres instance on OSX:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e "SERVER_PORT=8080" -e "SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0" -e "WWW_ROOT=/www" bee-software/kickstart 

To run the previously built docker image against a Postgres instance in Docker on OSX:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e "SERVER_PORT=8080" -e "SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0" -e "DB_HOST=host.docker.internal" -e "WWW_ROOT=/www" bee-software/kickstart 

You can now sign in at http://localhost:8080 with guest/password.

Configuration uses properties files named after the environment:

• etc/test.properties for the test environment
• etc/dev.properties for the dev environment

Configuration can be overridden from the command line using environment variables. For instance to run tests against an existing Postgres database running on port 54320:

DB_PORT=54320 make run

To run the server on a different port, you can either set the SERVER_PORT environment variable, such as:

SERVER_PORT=8080 make run

or use the shortcut form:

make run PORT=8080

To run the build against a different environment, say integration, for which you will need to provide an etc/integration.properties file on the classpath:

make build ENV=integration

To start Concourse, the CI server, run:

docker compose -f concourse.yml up -d

This will run the default Concourse docker image. Open http://127.0.0.1:8080/ to access Concourse in your browser.

Download the fly CLI or install it via Homebrew, then set up the Concourse target:

fly --target kickstart login --concourse-url http://127.0.0.1:8080 -u test -p test
fly --target kickstart sync

Install the build pipeline in concourse by running:

fly -t kickstart set-pipeline -c scripts/ci/pipeline.yml -p kickstart

Unpause the newly created pipeline and job:

fly -t kickstart unpause-pipeline -p kickstart
fly -t kickstart unpause-job --job kickstart/test

Access the pipeline URL http://localhost:8080/teams/main/pipelines/kickstart or follow the build in your terminal.

For example, to follow the test job in the terminal:

fly -t kickstart watch -j kickstart/test
