Steps to set up a development environment:

  • you need to be able to run docker
  • set up your NextBox,
    • install your public key for ssh access
    • ssh on the NextBox and install the same public key for root
  • checkout the nextbox repository
  • inside nextbox/debian run make dev-image to create the docker image for development
  • change into the container make enter-dev-docker
    • inside /build/repos/app/nextbox/ run npm install
    • exit the docker
  • modify the DEV_DEVICE variable inside nextbox/debian/repos to match your NextBox' local IP

Now the environment setup is done, for development you just run (inside nextbox/debian/repos):

  • make watch-update-app
  • make watch-update-daemon

in two different terminals. You can now modify the app and daemon contents (develop stuff) and once you save a file the necessary builds are run and the results (if successfull) will be copied onto the NextBox and all related tools/daemons will be restarted.

For testing make sure you disable any browser caching, e.g., Chromium: F12 -> Network -> disable cache.
