moonstream backend

Installation and setup

To set up Moonstream API for development, do the following:

• Clone the git repository
• Install postgresql (https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/)

To be able to run Moonstream API with your existing local or development services as database, you need to build your own setup. Be aware! The files with environment variables docker.dev.env lives inside your docker container!

• Copy configs/sample.env to configs/docker.dev.env, or use your local configs from configs/dev.env to configs/docker.dev.env
• Edit in docker.dev.env file MOONSTREAM_DB_URI and other variables if required
• Clean environment file from export prefix and quotation marks to be able to use it with Docker

sed --in-place 's|^export * ||' configs/docker.dev.env
sed --in-place 's|"||g' configs/docker.dev.env
