## Contribute to Focalboard
|
|
|
|
Contribute code, bug reports, and ideas to the future of the Focalboard project. We welcome your input! Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on how to get involved.
|
|
|
|
### Getting started
|
|
|
|
Our [developer guide](https://developers.mattermost.com/contribute/focalboard/personal-server-setup-guide) has detailed instructions on how to set up your development environment for the **Personal Server**. It also provides more information about contributing to our open source community.
|
|
|
|
Clone [mattermost-server](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server) into sibling directory.
|
|
|
|
Create an `.env` file in the focalboard directory that contains:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
EXCLUDE_ENTERPRISE="1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build the server:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make prebuild
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run the server:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./bin/focalboard-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then navigate your browser to [`http://localhost:8000`](http://localhost:8000) to access your Focalboard server. The port is configured in `config.json`.
|
|
|
|
Once the server is running, you can rebuild just the web app via `make webapp` in a separate terminal window. Reload your browser to see the changes.
|
|
|
|
### Building and running standalone desktop apps
|
|
|
|
You can build standalone apps that package the server to run locally against SQLite:
|
|
|
|
* **Windows**:
|
|
* *Requires Windows 10, [Windows 10 SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/) 10.0.19041.0, and .NET 4.8 developer pack*
|
|
* Open a `git-bash` prompt.
|
|
* Run `make prebuild`
|
|
* The above prebuild step needs to be run only when you make changes to or want to install your npm dependencies, etc.
|
|
* Once the prebuild is completed, you can keep repeating the below steps to build the app & see the changes.
|
|
* Run `make win-wpf-app`
|
|
* Run `cd win-wpf/msix && focalboard.exe`
|
|
* **Mac**:
|
|
* *Requires macOS 11.3+ and Xcode 13.2.1+*
|
|
* Run `make prebuild`
|
|
* The above prebuild step needs to be run only when you make changes to or want to install your npm dependencies, etc.
|
|
* Once the prebuild is completed, you can keep repeating the below steps to build the app & see the changes.
|
|
* Run `make mac-app`
|
|
* Run `open mac/dist/Focalboard.app`
|
|
* **Linux**:
|
|

|
|
* Run `sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev`
|
|
* Run `make prebuild`
|
|
* The above prebuild step needs to be run only when you make changes to or want to install your npm dependencies, etc.

|
|
* Run `make linux-app`
|
|
* Uncompress `linux/dist/focalboard-linux.tar.gz` to a directory of your choice
|
|
* Run `focalboard-app` from the directory you have chosen
|
|
* **Docker**:
|
|
* To run it locally from offical image:
|
|
* `docker run -it -p 80:8000 mattermost/focalboard`
|
|
* To build it for your current architecture:
|
|
* `docker build -f docker/Dockerfile .`
|
|
* To build it for a custom architecture (experimental):
|
|
* `docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --platform linux/arm64 .`
|
|
|
|
Cross-compilation currently isn't fully supported, so please build on the appropriate platform. Refer to the GitHub Actions workflows (`build-mac.yml`, `build-win.yml`, `build-ubuntu.yml`) for the detailed list of steps on each platform.
|
|
|
|
### Unit testing
|
|
|
|
Before checking in commits, run `make ci`, which is similar to the `.gitlab-ci.yml` workflow and includes:
|
|
|
|
* **Server unit tests**: `make server-test`
|
|
* **Web app ESLint**: `cd webapp; npm run check`
|
|
* **Web app unit tests**: `cd webapp; npm run test`
|
|
* **Web app UI tests**: `cd webapp; npm run cypress:ci`
|
