Hostr

About

Hostr is a project I started almost ten years ago when I set out to learn web development. Since then it's seen over 100,000 signups and served up over 2 billion file downloads.

It has been through many iterations, but in its current incarnation Hostr uses Koa for the backend, Angular and JSPM for the frontend, and Babel for both.

Getting Started

Dependencies

Everything is taken care of by an npm install.

Enviroment Variable Configuration

See .env.example. Copy it to .env, modify and source .env for development. autoenv is pretty nice for doing this automatically when you cd into your work directory.

Deploying to Heroku

You'll need to add Heroku Redis and a MongoDB addon.

Usage

Start the app

$ npm start

This will install and build the frontend too.

Alternatively

$ npm run watch

Will watch your JS and CSS for changes, rebuild them, and reload the server.

Run the tests

$ npm test

Running the tests will also set the indexes required for Mongo.

Licence

My primary motivation is to get to work on Hostr in public. Contributions are welcome and all Javascript is Apache licenced, however the brand is not. The brand includes the name, logo images, CSS and marketing HTML.
