Development

This page contains information about how to set up a local development environment for BlueSpice.

Local development environment based on bluespice-deploy

A developer can use the default deployment stack and alter is to quickly set up a development environment. To do so, first clone the stack to your local machine and navigate into it:

git clone -b 5.2.x git@github.com:hallowelt/bluespice-deploy.git
cd bluespice-deploy/compose

Create a proper .env file from the .env.sample and alter/add the following lines:

DATADIR=~/workspace/REL1_43-5.2.x/data
CODEDIR=~/workspace/REL1_43-5.2.x/code
SMTP_HOST=mailhog
SMTP_PORT=1025

Create a docker-compose.override.yml file with the following content:

x-common-dev: &x-common
  image: docker.bluespice.com/bluespice-qa/wiki:latest
  volumes:
    - ${CODEDIR}:/app/bluespice/w/

services:

  wiki-installer:
    <<: *x-common

  wiki-web:
    <<: *x-common
    restart: no

  wiki-task:
    <<: *x-common
    restart: no

  mailhog:
    image: mailhog/mailhog
    container_name: ${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME:-bluespice}-mailhog
    environment:
      VIRTUAL_HOST: ${WIKI_HOST}
      VIRTUAL_PATH: /_mailhog/
      VIRTUAL_PORT: 8025
      VIRTUAL_DEST: /
    restart: no

  cache:
    restart: no

  collabpads:
    restart: no

  collabpads-database:
    restart: no

  database:
    restart: no

  diagram:
    restart: no

  formula:
    restart: no

  pdf:
    restart: no

  proxy:
    restart: no
  
  search:
    restart: no

  wire:
    restart: no

This will make the stack use your local codebase from $CODEDIR and also expose a Mailhog web interface on $Wiki_HOST/_mailhog.

​In addition, if you want to work with a custom build of the bluespice/wiki container, you can add an image: entry to the respective services. Example

  wiki-installer:
    image: bluespice/wiki:dev
...
  wiki-web:
    image: bluespice/wiki:dev
...

  wiki-task:
    image: bluespice/wiki:dev
...

or you set

BLUESPICE_WIKI_IMAGE=bluespice/wiki:dev

in your .env-File

Add S3 filestore service

When working on the S3 filestore features, a developer needs a

x-common-dev: &x-common
...
  environment:
    FILESTORE_HOST: filestore
    FILESTORE_PORT: 9000
    FILESTORE_PROTOCOL: http
    FILESTORE_ACCESS_KEY: ${FILESTORE_ACCESS_KEY}
    FILESTORE_SECRET_KEY: ${FILESTORE_SECRET_KEY}
    FILESTORE_BUCKET_NAME: ${FILESTORE_BUCKET_NAME:-bluespice}
    FILESTORE_REGION: ${FILESTORE_REGION:-eu-north-1}
...

  filestore:
    image: minio/minio:latest
    container_name: ${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME:-bluespice}-filestore
    command: server /data --console-address ":9001"
    environment:
      MINIO_ROOT_USER: ${FILESTORE_ACCESS_KEY}
      MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${FILESTORE_SECRET_KEY}
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
      - "9001:9001"
    volumes:
      - ${DATADIR}/filestore:/data
    restart: no

In .env

FILESTORE_ACCESS_KEY=...
FILESTORE_SECRET_KEY=...
FILESTORE_BUCKET_NAME=bluespice
FILESTORE_REGION=eu-north-1

After a /bluespice-deploy up -d you can access the MINIO webinterface in your browser at http://localhost:9001. Use the values of FILESTORE_ACCESS_KEY and FILESTORE_SECRET_KEY to log in.
