Spinnaker UI
Prerequisites
Make sure that node and yarn are installed on your system. The minimum versions for each are listed in package.json.
Quick Start
Run the following commands (in the deck directory) to get all dependencies installed in deck and to start the server:
yarn
yarn start
The app will start up on localhost:9000.
Environment variables
Environment variables can be used to configure application behavior. The following lists those variables and their possible values:
-
AUTH
enable/disable authentication (default is disabled, enable by settingAUTH=enabled
). -
TIMEZONE
set the default timezone (default is 'America/Los_Angeles' - see http://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/data-utilities/ for options) -
DECK_CERT
enable SSL (set to the fully qualified path to cert file, andDECK_KEY
must be set to the fully qualified path to the key file)
The following external resources can be specified with environment variables:
-
API_HOST
overrides the default Spinnaker API host. -
AUTH_ENABLED
determines whether Deck will attempt to authenticate users via Gate.
For example, API_HOST=http://spinnaker.prod.netflix.net yarn start
will run Deck with http://spinnaker.prod.netflix.net
as the API host.
Testing
To run the tests within the application, run yarn test
.
Developing things locally? You may want to run gate locally (which runs on port 8084) as well. Gate is the service that hosts the spinnaker REST API. Then run deck like this:
API_HOST=http://localhost:8084 yarn start
Building & Deploying
To build the application, run yarn build
.
The built application lives in build/
.
Conventions
It's a work in progress, but please try to follow the conventions here.
Customizing the UI
It's certainly doable - we're in the middle of some significant changes to our build process, which should make it easier. For now, you can look at the all modules to get an idea how we are customizing Deck internally. Expect a lot of this to change, though, as we figure out better, cleaner hooks and integration points. And we're happy to provide new integration points (or accept pull requests) following those existing conventions if you need an integration point that doesn't already exist.
