Airship Core Dev - Setting up Local Development

airship-core-setup.md

1. Using pgAdmin, setup an Airship site.

• Add a new site to airship_sites
• add the landing root page. Set application.html layout and root.html template.
• add a superadmin user. It's easiest if you copy user1's password for your superadmin user. Also copy the created at from user1, this is needed for checking the hash
• add struts for the appropriate application.html layout and root.html template.

2. Set up the Airship .env file and /etc/hosts file

• make sure .env file is pointing to the right domain: DEV_CNAME=pokebowls.airshipcms.io
• In the Airship terminal, source .env
• while developing locally, make sure /etc/hosts is setup for pokebowls.airshipcms.io. In the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost pokebowls.airshipcms.io
• In Airship terminal, env $(cat .env | xargs) gulp

3. Build the site content

• set up website pages and sections in pokebowls.airshipcms.io:2233/admin (or was it localhost:2233/admin??)

4. Set up the CLI Tools

• Gobally set up cli tools "Updating the Airship CLI" parts A and B in Running Airship Cli

5. Connect Local dev to the project api

In the PROJECT directory (not Airship directory. This is a NEW directory)...

• do "First Time Project Setup" to create the PROJECT .env file in Running Airship Cli
• airship login env $(cat .env | xargs) airship login
• airship land env $(cat .env | xargs) airship land [subdomain]
• set up a git repo
• airship env $(cat .env | xargs) airship serve
• work on site locally a bit. View changes at localhost:4000.
• push changes to git
• airship manifest env $(cat .env | xargs) airship manifest [subdomain]
• airship launch env $(cat .env | xargs) airship launch [subdomain]
• view site on staging pokebowls.airshipcms.io:3899
