CloudBoost runs on MongoDB and Redis. You're responsible for managing the uptime, backups of your data in each of these databases. If you're running production apps. We recommend you to use the hosted service instead. Please check out CloudBoost.io

The easiest way to run the server is by using Docker. Check https://github.com/cloudboost/docker

Step 1 : Git clone the project.

git clone https://github.com/CloudBoost/cloudboost.git

Step 2 : Change directory to CloudBoost.

cd cloudboost

Step 3 : NPM Install.

npm install

Note : NPM requires NodeJS to be installed on your machine. If you don't have NodeJS, you need to install it from here : https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Step 4 : Edit cloudboost.json.

Create a config folder in project root if it does not exist. You need to create a new file cloudboost.json under config folder and save that file with MongoDB and Redis configuration. Here's a sample file :

{
 "mongo" : [{
   "host" : "localhost",
   "port" : "27017"
 }], 
 "redis" : [{
       "host" : "127.0.0.1",
       "port" : 6379       
   }]
}

Step 6 : Edit smtp.json.

In the config folder. Creare a new file called smtp.json. You need to create an account at MailGun (https://www.mailgun.com/) and get an API Key. This will help CloudBoost to send emails on your behalf. Here's a quick example :

{
  "provider"  : "mailgun",      
  "apiKey"    : "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "domain"    : "cloudboost.io",
  "fromEmail" : "hello@cloudboost.io",
  "fromName"  : "CloudBoost.io"  
}

Step 6 : Enable HTTPS. (Optional)

If you want to enable HTTPS, place your certificate file cert.crt and key key.key in the config folder.

Step 7 : Run the server.

Make sure both Redis and MongoDB are running and then run the CloudBoost server

node server.js

Once the server is running. You'll see the ClusterKey and SecureKey on the console whcih means you've successfully CloudBoost. If you don't see any of these keys, please raise a GitHub issue and let us know.

Once started, you'll see the CloudBoost Secure Key on the console. This is important, Please save it for future use. Secure Key helps you create / delete apps.

Create an app

To create an app, You need to :

        REQUEST TYPE : POST
        URL : <YOUR_SERVER_URL>/app/<APP ID>
        REQUEST BODY :
        {
            secureKey : YOUR_SECURE_KEY
        }

for example :

        REQUEST TYPE : POST
        URL : http://localhost:4730/app/app1
        REQUEST BODY :
        {
            secureKey : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        }

Delete an app

To delete an app, You need to :

        REQUEST TYPE : DELETE
        URL : <YOUR_SERVER_URL>/app/<APP ID>
        REQUEST BODY :
        {
            secureKey : YOUR_SECURE_KEY
        }

for example :

        REQUEST TYPE : DELETE
        URL : http://localhost:4730/app/app1
        REQUEST BODY :
        {
            secureKey : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        }

Once your app is ready, You can then get the latest SDK from https://tutorials.cloudboost.io. Remember to save the SDK in your project. and You can then init your app by :

CB.CloudApp.init('Your Server URL', 'Your App ID', 'Your App Key');

You can then follow rest of the documentation from https://tutorials.cloudboost.io. You can also check out API Reference on https://docs.cloudboost.io
