A set of scalable components for communities to build, manage, and run virtual conferences of any size.
Development - Build - Production
- To start the development environment first run the following, the script would handle all process and would output error if there are any.
sh startdevenv.sh localhost
Note: Please replace the "localhost" with your static IP if you are doing environment setup on your VM.
- Setup the Embedded Chat by first following the instructions here to get the Google Cloud Client ID and the Rocket Chat instance url. After getting both of them paste it in the
app/.envwith the following key name,
NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your google client id"
NEXT_PUBLIC_RC_URL="your url of the RC instance"
NEXT_PUBLIC_RC_ROOM_ID="public channel room id"
*The NEXT_PUBLIC_RC_ROOM_ID defaults to "GENERAL".
**Optional Starts
- For Greenroom and Mainstage Page to work, there is a need to add some additional environment vars (
app/.env), which are as followed.
NEXT_PUBLIC_IPINFO_TOKEN="token from ipinfo"
NEXT_PUBLIC_ROCKET_CHAT_GREENROOM_RTMP="rtmp url to broadcast the stream"
NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_STREAM_LINK0="Asia server broadcast link"
NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_STREAM_LINK1="Any other region server broadcasr link"
For more detail on how to get ipinfo token and server links, please read here
**Optional Ends
Once all the environment variables are set run the following script to start the NextJS frontend.
sh startNext.sh localhost
Note: Please replace the "localhost" with your static IP if you are doing environment setup on your VM.
-
Once the development server is launched create a dummy event by following the link in the top nav to
Admin>Create. -
After the event is created, visit the Greenroom page since only one event is there, vist the url
/conferences/greenroom/1and the subsequent event mainstage onconferences/mainstage/1
(Note: In the following PR, the dummy event create would be implemented, please stay tuned.)
Development Info:
- The Strapi admin portal would be opnened by default while starting the development setup.
- The NextJS url would be shown in the logs for reference
> rc4community@0.3.0 dev
> next dev
> backend@0.1.0 build
> strapi build
ready - started server on 0.0.0.0:3000, url: http://localhost:3000 <-- your NextJS locahost url
- On visiting the NextJS app localhost url first time, first login using the dummy login button, then do a refresh to load the admin menu. (Currently, for development purpose we are using defult secret values).
For production deployments, please change the secret values in
open-event-server/.env.exampleandopen-event-server/.env.dev.app
The preview components are displayed on the pages starting /conferences.
- On the root
localhost:3000/conferencespage, there is a button Create Event! which redirects the users to the Event Create page.
Fun try: Try refreshing the
/conferencespage. (Hint: Background image)
- If a user is not signed in, they will be redirected to
/conferences/confAuthpage, which helps to get sign in or sign up. - If a user is already signed in, then they will be redirected to
/conferences/create/basic-detailpage. - Currently, only the basic events data are used to publish the event which includes - Event name, Event start Date, Event end Date, Ticket name, Ticket Quantity, and Ticket Type.
Please Note: Currently, all the ticket types would be free by default.
-
The
Nextbutton will save the Event as a Draft, and thePublishbutton will directly publish the event. -
The other sections Speakers and Other Details will be soon implemented. Please look forward to trying out them.
