How to develop OctoBase server

Welcome to OctoBase, a local-first, yet collaborative database! This document will guide you through the steps of building and running OctoBase.

Start Server

Installing Rust Toolchain

Before building OctoBase, you'll need to install the Rust toolchain if you haven't already. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Cloning the Repository

Once you have the Rust toolchain installed, you can clone the OctoBase repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/toeverything/OctoBase/

Run Keck Server

Use the following command to compile and run the Keck server using Cargo:

cargo run --bin keck

The Keck server will then start on the 3000 port.

Run AFFiNE Cloud Server

Use the following command to compile and run the AFFiNE Cloud server using Cargo:

cargo run --bin affine-cloud

Note that running the AFFiNE Cloud server has some special requirements.

Specify Database Address

AFFiNE Cloud supports SQLite or PostgreSQL as data backends. If no database address is specified, the server defaults to using an in-memory database. This means that all data will be lost when the server shuts down. Therefore, it is recommended that you specify a database file path for persistence.

If you want to use a SQLite database, set the DATABASE_URL environment variable to the database file path, for example:

export DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///path/to/database.db

If you want to use a PostgreSQL database, set the following environment variables to your database connection information:

export DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@hostname/database_name

Specify Token Key

In AFFiNE Cloud, you need to use tokens for authentication and authorization operations. If no token key is specified, the server will use a random key. This means that all users will need to log in again when the server is restarted.

To avoid this situation, set the SIGN_KEY environment variable to a persistent and secure key.

Using Firebase Login

By default, AFFiNE Cloud only supports official login provider in AFFiNE. If you want to allow users to log in using your Firebase project, set the FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID environment variable to your Firebase project ID.

Note

If you encounter any issues, welcome to contact the developers for assistance.

Api Documentation

Use the api doc in web

  1. Set the JWST_DEV environment variable.

    export JWST_DEV=1

  2. Start the cloud or keck server.

  3. Access http://localhost:3000/api/docs/ to use the Swagger GUI to debug the API.

Use the api doc in postman

postman

For cloud:

  • Use /api/affine-cloud.json to import the cloud API into Postman.

For keck:

  • Use /api/jwst.json to import the keck API into Postman.
