# bewCloud
|
|
|
|
[](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/actions?workflow=Run+Tests)
|
|
|
|
This is the [bewCloud app](https://bewcloud.com) built using [Fresh](https://fresh.deno.dev) and deployed using [docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).
|
|
|
|
If you're looking for the desktop sync app, it's at [`bewcloud-desktop`](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud-desktop).
|
|
|
|
If you're looking for the mobile app, it's at [`bewcloud-mobile`](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud-mobile).
|
|
|
|
## Self-host it!

|
|
|
|
Or on your own machine:
|
|
|
|
Download/copy [`docker-compose.yml`](/docker-compose.yml), [`.env.sample`](/.env.sample) as `.env`, and [`bewcloud.config.sample.ts`](/bewcloud.config.sample.ts) as `bewcloud.config.ts`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ mkdir data-files # local directory for storing user-uploaded files
|
|
$ sudo chown -R 1993:1993 data-files # solves permission-related issues in the container with uploading files
|
|
$ docker compose up -d # makes the app available at http://localhost:8000
|
|
$ docker compose run --rm website bash -c "cd /app && make migrate-db" # initializes/updates the database (only needs to be executed the first time and on any data updates)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
> Even with signups disabled (`config.auth.allowSignups=false`), the first signup will work and become an admin.

> [!NOTE]
|
|
> `1993:1993` above comes from deno's [docker image](https://github.com/denoland/deno_docker/blob/2abfe921484bdc79d11c7187a9d7b59537457c31/ubuntu.dockerfile#L20-L22) where `1993` is the default user id in it. It might change in the future since I don't control it.

## Development
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> Don't forget to set up your `.env` file based on `.env.sample`.
|
|
> Don't forget to set up your `bewcloud.config.ts` file based on `bewcloud.config.sample.ts`.
|
|
|
|
- This was tested with [`Deno`](https://deno.land)'s version stated in the `.dvmrc` file, though other versions may work.
|
|
- For the postgres dependency (used when running locally or in CI), you should have `Docker` and `docker compose` installed.
|
|
|
|
### Commands
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up # (optional) runs docker with postgres, locally
|
|
$ make migrate-db # runs any missing database migrations
|
|
$ make start # runs the app
|
|
$ make format # formats the code
|
|
$ make test # runs tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Other less-used commands
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ make exec-db # runs psql inside the postgres container, useful for running direct development queries like `DROP DATABASE "bewcloud"; CREATE DATABASE "bewcloud";`
|
|
$ make build # generates all static files for production deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Where's Contacts/Calendar (CardDav/CalDav)?! Wasn't this supposed to be a core Nextcloud replacement?
|
|
|
|
[Check this tag/release for more info and the code where/when that was being done](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/releases/tag/v0.0.1-self-made-carddav-caldav). Contacts/CardDav worked and Calendar/CalDav mostly worked as well at that point.
|
|
|
|
My focus was to get me to replace Nextcloud for me and my family ASAP, and it turns out it's not easy to do it all in a single, installable _thing_, so I focused on the Files UI, sync, and sharing, since [Radicale](https://radicale.org/v3.html) solved my other issues better than my own solution (and it's already _very_ efficient).
|
|
|
|
## How does file sharing work?
|
|
|
|
[Check this PR for advanced sharing with internal and external users, with read and write access that was being done and almost working](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/pull/4). I ditched all that complexity for simply using [symlinks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link), as it served my use case (I have multiple data backups and trust the people I provide accounts to, with the symlinks).
|
|
|
|
You can simply `ln -s /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<owner-user-id>/<directory-to-share> /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<user-id-to-share-with>/` to create a shared directory between two users, and the same directory can have different names, now.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If you're running the app with docker, the symlink needs to point to the container's directory, usually starting with `/app` if you didn't change the `Dockerfile`, otherwise the container will fail to load the linked directory.
|
|
|
|
