Developing Wekan for Sandstorm

Developing Wekan for Sandstorm

Wekan / General · June 26, 2019 at 4:39am (Edited 5 years ago)

Hello, I'm new to here and trying to add a new feature to Wekan for Sandstorm.

Is this document still up to date? https://github.com/wekan/wekan-maintainer/wiki/Building-Wekan-for-Sandstorm

I think there is a way to build from source code rather than an image to keep everything updated, or the image is always updated?

I am at the very start point of a Wekan developer, hope I can eventually reach the goal. Thank you!

did you run rebuild-wekan.sh with first 1 to install deps and then 2 to build wekan?

    Yes, sudo rebuild-wekan.sh two times, 1 then 2. I am on devel branch.

      Do not use sudo, or I should work on master?

                        or alternatively, install from your distro, sudo apt-get install mongodb-clients but I don't know what versions distros have, do they work

                          So using 3.2.x currently is best

                                When you have started Wekan with command meteor, and then change some code file, meteor automatically notices it and rebuilds wekan

                                  but sometime if all changes are not noticed, then it needs rebuild-wekan.sh option 2

                                          I find the *.jade file format is somehow different from what I know. Is this a special version jade?

                                            I recommend you fork https://github.com/wekan/wekan again and use master branch for development. There has been a lot of changes.
