DancebotSwarmUI

Github hosted front end for the Dancebot Swarm Robots

Setup and Testing

Ubuntu

---

Windows

Development

• Suggestion to make the folder in a local directory (for me, Documents/Github/) and copy the folder over to the root /var/www/ when testing. This reduces annoying sudo permissions.

Dependencies

• CouchDB
  • Ubuntu/Debian
  • Windows
  • If prompted, you should set the password to whatever you like. Later on, when you have enabled the database, you can create an admin with the credentials:
    • Username: Demobots
    • Passsword: Mothership (if you're using this guide for something other than the mothership, please don't use these credentials)
  • If you configured this correctly, you should be able to find the login page at http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/#login.
• Nginx
  • Ubuntu
    • Clone repo in this location: /var/www/ (depends if the repo html is in the base url)
    • Set up virtual host https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-nginx#4-setting-up-virtual-host
      • change root /var/www/tutorial to root /var/www/Dancebot in the file.
    • Restart nginx: sudo service nginx restart
    • Check localhost:PORT_YOU_SPECIFIED_IN_THE_FILE
  • Windows
    • nginx should be at C:/nginx
    • There should be a config file, inside should display where the root is; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19985228/nginx-change-document-root-directory (might be easier to modify the file from https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-nginx#4-setting-up-virtual-host)
• Node JS
• Express
