StackStudio

This is the StackStudio application; a web based console for managing private and public clouds.

Getting Started

1. This application requires the CloudMux back end, which provides REST APIs to perform cloud operations. CloudMux is available here: https://github.com/TranscendComputing/CloudMux

2. We use Node.JS and Grunt for build and release steps. You'll need to install Node and NPM, from:

   http://nodejs.org/#download

3. Install Grunt and dependencies, cd to the StackStudio directory and run NPM:

   cd StackStudio
   npm install
   # If you've never installed Grunt, you'll need the command line
   sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
   

4. To launch a web server, you can run a task:

   grunt run
   

   (9001 is the default listening port)

5. Allow StackStudio to reach CloudMux as its backend.

   Copy backend.json.sample to backend.json

   cp config/backend.json.sample config/backend.json
   

   Edit config/backend.json @backend_endpoint@ field to point to your CloudMux backend.

   (e.g. "http://localhost:9292")

6. Go to http://localhost:9001/ and you'll see the StackStudio Dashboard.
