12 | ## Give your feedback | |
13 | ||
14 | You don't need to know how to code to start contributing to PeerTube! Other | |
15 | contributions are very valuable too, among which: you can test the software and | |
16 | report bugs, you can give feedback on potential bugs, features that you are | |
17 | interested in, user interface, design, decentralized architecture... | |
18 | ||
19 | ||
20 | ## Write documentation | |
21 | ||
22 | You can help to write the documentation of the REST API, code, architecture, | |
23 | demonstrations. | |
24 | ||
25 | For the REST API you can see the documentation in [/support/doc/api](/support/doc/api) directory. | |
26 | Then, you can just open the `openapi.yaml` file in a special editor like [http://editor.swagger.io/](http://editor.swagger.io/) to easily see and edit the documentation. | |
27 | ||
28 | Some hints: | |
29 | * Routes are defined in [/server/controllers/](/server/controllers/) directory | |
30 | * Parameters validators are defined in [/server/middlewares/validators](/server/middlewares/validators) directory | |
31 | * Models sent/received by the controllers are defined in [/shared/models](/shared/models) directory | |
32 | ||

34 | ## Develop | |
35 | ||
36 | Don't hesitate to talk about features you want to develop by creating an issue | |
37 | before you start working on them :). | |
38 | ||
39 | ### Prerequisites | |
40 | ||
41 | First, make sure that you have followed | |
42 | [the steps](/support/doc/dependencies.md) | |
43 | to install the dependencies. | |
44 | ||
45 | Then clone the sources and install node modules: | |
46 | ||
47 | ``` | |
48 | $ git clone -b master https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube | |
49 | $ cd PeerTube | |
50 | $ yarn install --pure-lockfile | |
51 | ``` | |
52 | ||
53 | Then, create a postgres database and user with the values set in the | |
54 | `config/default.yaml` file. For instance, if you do not change the values | |
55 | there, the following commands would create a new database called `peertube_dev` | |
56 | and a postgres user called `peertube` with password `peertube`: | |
57 | ||
58 | ``` | |
59 | # sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube | |
60 | Enter password for new role: peertube | |
61 | # sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_dev | |
62 | ``` | |
63 | ||
64 | In dev mode, administrator username is **root** and password is **test**. | |
65 | ||
66 | ### Server side | |
67 | ||
68 | You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture [here](/support/doc/development/server/code.md). | |
69 | ||
70 | To develop on the server-side: | |
71 | ||
72 | ``` | |
73 | $ npm run dev:server | |
74 | ``` | |
75 | ||
76 | Then, the server will listen on `localhost:9000`. When server source files | |
77 | change, these are automatically recompiled and the server will automatically | |
78 | restart. Server is in `TEST` mode so it will run requests between instances more quickly. | |
79 | ||
80 | ### Client side | |
81 | ||
82 | You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture | |
83 | [here](/support/doc/development/client/code.md). | |
84 | ||
85 | ||
86 | To develop on the client side: | |
87 | ||
88 | ``` | |
89 | $ npm run dev:client | |
90 | ``` | |
91 | ||
92 | The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`. | |
93 | Client files are automatically compiled on change, and the web browser will | |
94 | reload them automatically thanks to hot module replacement. | |
95 | ||
96 | ### Test federation | |
97 | ||
98 | This will run 3 nodes: | |
99 | ||
100 | ``` | |
101 | $ npm run clean:server:test | |
102 | $ npm run play | |
103 | ``` | |
104 | ||
105 | Then you will get access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}` | |
106 | with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password. |
