Rallly

Rallly is a free collaborative scheduling service that helps you and your friends vote on a date to host an event. The application has been developed with the MEAN stack of technologies.

Requirements

To run Rallly you will need:

• MongoDB
• Node.js + npm
• Bower

Setup

Clone the repository on your machine and set the current directory to the root of the repository

git clone git@github.com:lukevella/Rallly.git
cd Rallly

Run the install script. You may need to adjust the permissions of the file to execute (chmod 775 install.sh). This will install the node and bower dependencies and create a sample configuration file.

./install.sh

Configuration

Open up config/main.js and fill in the parameters.

app.set('port', 3000);
app.set('siteUrl', ''); // Used for creating an absolute URL
app.set('absoluteUrl', function(path){
    // If you're using port 80 or a proxy, remove the port from the absoluteUrl
    return app.get('siteUrl') + ':' + app.get('port') + '/' + path;
});
app.set('dbname', ''); // MongoDB database name
app.set('dbuser', ''); // MongoDB user name
app.set('dbpwd', ''); // MongoDB user password
app.set('mandrillAPIKey',''); // https://mandrillapp.com

Development

If you're going to be developing, run the watch task with gulp. Gulp is used to build the css (with sass), js and templates.

gulp watch

Running

To start the node server simply run npm start.
