LBRY on the Web

The LBRY experience, in the comfort of your own browser.

Active development is in progress, expect failing tests and breaking changes.

Running with Docker

This is the recommended method for frontend development.

Make sure you have recent enough Docker and docker-compose installed.

1. Initialize and launch the containers

This will pull and launch SDK and postgres images, which lbrytv requires to operate.

docker-compose up app

Note: if you're running a LBRY desktop app or lbrynet instance, you will have to either shut it down or change ports

2. Setup up the database schema if this is your first launch

docker-compose run app ./lbrytv db_migrate_up

3. Clone lbry-desktop repo, if you don't have it

cd ..
git clone git@github.com:lbryio/lbry-desktop.git

4. Launch UI in lbry-desktop repo folder

SDK_API_URL=http://localhost:8080/api/proxy/ yarn dev:web

5. Open http://localhost:8081/ in Chrome

Running off the source (if you want to modify things)

You still might want to use docker and docker-compose for running SDK and DB containers.

1. Initialize and launch the containers

If this is your first launch, initialize:

docker-compose up postgres lbrynet --no-start

After that, launch the containers:

docker-compose start postgres lbrynet

Note: if you're running a LBRY desktop app or lbrynet instance, you will have to either shut it down or change ports

2. Setup up the database schema if this is your first launch

go run . db_migrate_up

3. Start lbrytv API server

go run . serve

4. Clone lbry-desktop repo, if you don't have it

cd ..
git clone git@github.com:lbryio/lbry-desktop.git

5. Launch UI in lbry-desktop repo folder

SDK_API_URL=http://localhost:8080/api/proxy/ yarn dev:web

6. Open http://localhost:8081/ in Chrome

Testing

Make sure you got lbrynet and postgres containers running and run make test.

Modifying and building a Docker image

First, make sure you have Go 1.11+

• Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archive/ubuntu/golang-backports or https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu
• OSX: brew install go

Then build the binary, create a docker image locally and run off it:

make image && docker-compose up app
