node version - mongo - api - best practice examples

It depends what version of Node www.meteor.com web framework requires. With unsupported versions you will get errors. Current Wekan uses Node 8.x , and next version of Meteor will use Node 12.x https://github.com/meteor/meteor/pull/10527 . When next Meteor version is stable and released, Wekan will change to use it.

Development version of Meteor includes MongoDB already, with command meteor

For example, if with https://github.com/wekan/wekan install npm, use ./rebuild.sh with option 1 to install dependencies, and then 2 to build wekan (required first time to build binary dependencies), then you can for example run WITH_API=true meteor so that it's at port localhost:2000 and mongo at localhost:2001 , or WITH_API=true meteor --port 4000 so that meteor is at port 4000 and mongo at port 4001. Note that rebuild-wekan.sh script can delete local development mongodb database, you should not use development mongodb database for any critical data.

Well, if you really would like to remote test development, you can also add other configuration options, like WITH_API=true ROOT_URL=http://192.168.0.100 meteor --port 4000 so then you can access Wekan with mobile phone on local network and when you change some Wekan source file, then after a while meteor notices that and rebuilds Wekan. Sometimes meteor noticing changes is a lot late, so it's needed to Ctrl-c stop meteor and start it again.

For creating users, first login to API with admin user username and password as form data to get bearer token https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API#example-call---as-form-data

thank you. so I should roll node back to which version of node 8 (13?)

Then you create user with API https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API-User#example-of-all-steps-of-create-user

I was close with the latest version of NPM but still getting errors

Then you set role https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API-Role

Next version of Wekan will have new Worker role https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/2788#issuecomment-555471975

I have most of Worker role already coded, it's still in progress currently, not ready yet

There are also more API examples at https://wekan.github.io/api/

instructions for installing current version of wekan said use NVM to pull in version instructions for installing current version of wekan said use NVM to pull in version 4.8

And Wekan-Gogs integration at https://github.com/wekan/wekan-gogs

which complains that fibers needs version 10.0.0

Hmm, I only use nvm if n does not work

I build node from source usually

There could be some current production fibers version mentioned at Dockerfile or snapcraft.yaml , that works

meteor whats which version of node 8.x?

8.13?

raspi version seems to install newest fibers https://releases.wekan.team/raspi3/maintainer-make-bundle.sh

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/master/.meteor/release

also there is meteor packages of https://atmospherejs.com listed at wekan/.meteor/packages and version numbers at wekan/.meteor/versions and then npm packages of https://www.npmjs.com are at wekan/package.json and wekan/package-lock.json

And local modified packages at wekan repo directly included at wekan/packages/* for example ldap etc
