bubbl

A bubble-themed cloud-based file storage web application for personal use.

It's still a work in progress, but feel free to try out the serverless demo here.

Development Requirements

• .NET Core 3.0.100 SDK
• PostgreSQL
• Node.js

Instructions

Install .NET Core 3.0.100 SDK, PostgreSQL, and Node.js.

Setting Up the Database

Ensure that the PostgreSQL service is started:

sudo service postgresql start

Assuming default settings, set the password for the default user postgres to 123.

sudo -u postgres psql
\password postgres
exit

Create the bubbl database:

sudo -u postgres createdb bubbl

Populate database:

sudo -u postgres psql -d bubbl -a -f testdata.pgsql

Running the Web Application

npm ci

Bundle modules:

npm run webpack

Run the web application:

dotnet run

Alternative Method (.NET Core and PostgreSQL not required)

From the serverless/ directory, install npm dependencies:
