2022-11-14 21:46:24 -05:00
Drift is a self-hostable Gist clone. It's in beta, but is completely functional.
2022-03-08 16:29:08 -05:00
2022-11-14 21:46:24 -05:00
You can try a demo at https://drift.lol. The demo is built on main but has no database, so files and accounts can be wiped at any time.

If you want to contribute, need support, or want to stay updated, you can join the IRC channel at #drift on irc.libera.chat or [reach me on twitter](https://twitter.com/Max_Leiter). If you don't have an IRC client yet, you can use a webclient [here](https://demo.thelounge.chat/#/connect?join=%23drift&nick=drift-user&realname=Drift%20User).

## Setup
### Development
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
In the `client/` directory, run `pnpm i`. If you need `pnpm`, you can download it [here](https://pnpm.io/installation).
You can run `pnpm dev` in `client` for file watching and live reloading.
2022-03-12 18:08:20 -05:00
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
To work with [prisma](prisma.io/), you can interface with prisma via `pnpm prisma`.
2022-03-12 18:08:20 -05:00
### Production
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
`pnpm build` in `client/` will produce production code. `pnpm start` will run the Next.js server.
### Environment Variables
You can change these to your liking.
`client/.env`:
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
- `DRIFT_URL`: the URL of the drift instance.
- `DATABASE_URL`: the URL to connect to your postgres instance. For example, `postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/drift`.
- `WELCOME_CONTENT`: a markdown string that's rendered on the home page
- `WELCOME_TITLE`: the file title for the post on the homepage.
- `ENABLE_ADMIN`: the first account created is an administrator account
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
- `REGISTRATION_PASSWORD`: the password required to register an account. If not set, no password is required.
- `NODE_ENV`: defaults to development, can be `production`
- `GITHUB_CLIENT_ID`: the client ID for GitHub OAuth
- `GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET`: the client secret for GitHub OAuth
- `NEXTAUTH_URL`: the URL of the drift instance.

## Running with pm2
It's easy to start Drift using [pm2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/).
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
First, add the `.env` file to `client/` with your values (see the above section for the required options).
2022-03-28 23:57:13 -04:00
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
Then, use the following command to start the client :
2022-03-28 23:57:13 -04:00
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
- `cd client && pnpm build && pm2 start pnpm --name drift-client --interpreter bash -- start`
2022-03-28 23:57:13 -04:00
2022-11-14 22:00:21 -05:00
Refer to pm2's docs or `pm2 help` for more information.
