golosblockchain/forum-ui repository overview

⁠Clone

git clone https://github.com/golos-blockchain/chainbb-frontend
cd chainbb-frontend

⁠Configure

After cloning project with Git, you have 2 files - config.js and configSecure.js in chainbb-frontend folder.

"Main idea" is what you can replace "GolosTalk" in config.js and configSecure.js with your actual forum name.

But there are also some manipulations required to deploy chainBB on your server. They are described below.

⁠config.js

You should set REST_API to your URL with 5000 port where chainbb-rest should run. Example: http://127.0.0.1:5000.

⁠configSecure.js

You should set account to account which should be used as creator of new accounts, referer to account which should be used as referer for them, signing_key to active private key of account, and gmail_send to some @gmail.com mailbox which should be used as sender of registration emails (pass should be an application password⁠, not just password of your mailbox).

⁠Deployment

chainbb-rest runs on 5000 port, and main chainbb site runs on http://localhost:3000⁠

There are 3 ways to deploy.
