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 make build.
Enviroment Variable Configuration
See .envrc.example. Copy it to .envrc, modify and source .envrc for development. direnv is pretty nice for doing this automatically when you cd into your work directory.
Usage
Start the app
$ make docker-compose-up
Initialise the environment
$ make init migrate
Run the tests
$ make 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.
