Stuck at wekan-ldap: updating npm dependencies -- ldapjs...

On Linux KVM VM running on NVME disk building Docker container does take about about 11 minutes. When it looks it's "stuck" it is still doing a lot. That build process creates directory wekan/.build/bundle of about 50k files. Windows filesystem is slower that Linux filesystem.

If you have not made source code changes, you can also use prebuilt bundle with just Windows version Node+MongoDB, without Docker. At Wekan website https://wekan.github.io is Download button Windows, that goes to wiki page that at top a) has info, direct link: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Windows

If you wait long enough, it's possible that your Docker build on Windows 10 does finish.

:angry: windows 10 slow filesystem I have a ubuntu 18.04 on dual boot ( not working right now something wrong with grub ) will check into this and also try the windows docker

also as replied in another thread my goal is to change source code and do some dev so will need this working

sorry for duplicate question here

No problem

When making changes to source code you can not use prebuilt bundle

You need to build from source

There is existing Wekan-Gogs integration https://github.com/wekan/wekan-gogs

You can look at it for inspiration to integration to Gitea

You can also send pull requests to that integration and Wekan https://github.com/wekan/wekan

For UI changes, you can send pull request for new theme https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Custom-CSS-themes

Or add some new config options to Board Settings

I do recommend sending all your changes to this upstream Wekan https://blog.wekan.team/2018/02/benefits-of-contributing-your-features-to-upstream-wekan/

Because it's a huge amount of work to maintain separate fork of Wekan

I'm releasing new version of Wekan about once a day

So in case of fork, you would need to merge changes and fix merge conflicts very often

Current UI plans are here https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/3086#issuecomment-629682047

If you don't have any important files on your Ubuntu 18.04 then you could install Ubuntu 20.04 on top of it

Or alternatively, from Ubuntu 20.04 live USB copy files to your Windows partition

For some new laptops, booting to Linux requires disabling Secure Boot and enabling Legacy Boot

at BIOS/UEFI settings

The time to build could change in future, if there are fixes to build time bottlenecks. For example, previously building Wekan did take about one hour - after changing one dependency to older version, time dropped to 11 minutes.

Some future fix could also change time from 11 minutes to much less, or some more. It remains to be seen, there are updates to dependencies very often.
