Manual Installation

Requirements on your server

  • Node.js 6.x or up (test up to 7.5.0) and <10.x
  • Database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MSSQL) use charset utf8
  • npm (and its dependencies, node-gyp)
  • yarn
  • libssl-dev for building scrypt (see here for further information)
  • Bash (for the setup script)
  • For building CodiMD we recommend to use a machine with at least 2GB RAM

Instructions

  1. Check if you meet the requirements at the top of this document.
  2. Clone this repository (preferred) or download a release and unzip it.
  3. Enter the directory and type bin/setup, which will install npm dependencies and create configs.
  4. Setup the configs, see more below
  5. Setup environment variables which will overwrite the configs
  6. Build front-end bundle by npm run build (use npm run dev if you are in development)
  7. Modify the file named .sequelizerc, change the value of the variable url with your db connection string For example: postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/codimd
  8. It is recommended to start your server manually once: npm start --production, this way it's easier to see warnings or errors that might occur (leave out --production for development).
  9. Run the server as you like (node, forever, pm2, SystemD, Init-Scripts)

How to upgrade your installation

If you are upgrading CodiMD from an older version, follow these steps:

  1. Check if you meet the requirements at the top of this document.
  2. Verify which version you were running before and take a look at migrations and breaking changes to see if additional steps, or configuration changes are necessary!
  3. Fully stop your old CodiMD server.
  4. git pull or unzip a new release in the directory.
  5. Run bin/setup. This will take care of installing dependencies. It is safe to run on an existing installation.
  6. Build front-end bundle by npm run build (use npm run dev if you are in development).
  7. It is recommended to start your server manually once: npm start --production, this way it's easier to see warnings or errors that might occur (leave out --production for development).
  8. You can now restart the CodiMD server!
