LighterPack

LighterPack is a website to track the gear you take on adventures. It is still in Beta.

LighterPack is built on a node.js/jQuery/vanillaJS/mongo stack.

How to run Lighterpack

1. Install node.js, npm and mongo
2. $ git clone https://github.com/galenmaly/lighterpack.git

4. Install dependancies $ npm install
5. start mongo $ mongod
6. Start app $ node app.js
7. go to http://localhost:3000

Running with Vagrant

1. Install Vagrant and VirtualBox
2. Download Vagrantfile and node-bootstrap.sh from vagrant folder to a folder on your local machine
3. Run $ vagrant up in the folder where you downloaded the two files.
4. Create a config.js and extIds.txt in /var/www/lighterpack based on the wiki: https://github.com/galenmaly/lighterpack/wiki/Config-files

You can then ssh to the machine on port 2222 or open a web browser to http://localhost:8080.

Shell Access

sudo docker exec -it lighterpack-run /bin/bash

Future non-feature initiatives

• Migrate to postgres document store from mongo
• Split up LESS files into more logical files (using LESS imports to keep the same # of .css files)
• Split up edit.js somehow + setup a build step to concat files back together
