Setup Contenu

Contenu uses MongoDB as a DBMS to store the content. You can run the contenu in your local machine but, I highly recommend running it with docker.

Step 1

First, we need to clone Contenu. The Contenu source code is available on github.

$ git clone https://github.com/contenujs/contenu

Step 2

Edit the environment variables.

What needs to be done:

• Rename .env.example to .env
• Fill the value of env variables. - MONGODB_CONNECTION is the MongoDB connection string. - SECRET_KEY is used for signing JWT tokens. Use a long sequence of random characters - JWT_EXPIRE_DAYS is the expire time of JWT tokens. It expressed in seconds or a string describing a time span zeit/ms

Step 3

Now the only thing we need to do is running the docker.

$ docker-compose up -d

Step 4

Open localhost:8080 and set up the app.

Step 5

Now, In the final step, you need to add Contenu client-side library to your website. For this part please check the Client side libraries
