Running locally

To get it running, just clone the repo:

git clone https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox-fe.git
cd soapbox-fe

Ensure that Node.js and Yarn are installed, then install dependencies:

yarn

Finally, run the dev server:

yarn dev

That's it! 🎉

It will serve at http://localhost:3036 by default.

It will proxy requests to the backend for you. For Pleroma running on localhost:4000 (the default) no other changes are required, just start a local Pleroma server and it should begin working.

Troubleshooting: ERROR: NODE_ENV must be set

Create a .env file if you haven't already.

cp .env.example .env

And ensure that it contains NODE_ENV=development. Try again.
