h0tb0x

h0tb0x is a cloud you make with friends.

Development Environment

For convenience, there is a script that you can source which will set the GOPATH and PATH:

. dev.env

Mac OS X

Install homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"

Update your PATH by adding this to your $HOME/.bashrc file:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Use brew to install prereqs:

brew update
brew install apple-gcc42 git-flow go node python bzr

Ubuntu

Use apt-get to install prereqs:

apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
apt-get update
apt-get install git-flow nodejs python-pip bzr

Download and install prebuilt Linux go binaries (assuming you have a 64-bit machine):

apt-get install wget build-essential
wget https://go.googlecode.com/files/go1.1.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.1.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Update your PATH by adding this to your $HOME/.profile:

export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH

Arch

First install the Go compiler:

sudo pacman -S community/go

Install prereqs via pacman:

sudo pacman -S nodejs bzr mercurial python-pip

Optionally use AUR to install git-flow.

git-flow: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitflow/

Building h0tb0x

A Makefile is included and is used in the traditional way:

make

If you only want to build the h0tb0x server:

make go

Or, if you prefer to build just the web app:

make web

And for the impatient, you can build the h0tb0x server without pulling down dependencies:

make quick

Likewise, you can quickly build the web app and automatically watch for changes with:

make -C web watch

Running h0tb0x

The final binary lives in the bin directory. Today, it runs in the foreground, eventually it should run as a daemon:

bin/h0tb0x

Testing h0tb0x

To run all tests, make sure the h0tb0x server is up and running and do:

make test

With dev.env sourced, you can run individual go module unit tests with:

go test h0tb0x/{xxx}     # where {xxx} is the module (i.e. sync)

To run the web app unit tests and automatically re-run when files change:

make -C web unit-test
