Riven Frontend

This repository contains the frontend for Riven. It is build with SvelteKit.

---

Running the frontend

To run the frontend, you need to have the backend running. You can find the backend here

Using docker-compose (recommended)

Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed on your system.

Edit the docker-compose.yml (make sure to replace the environment variables with your own) file to match your setup:

Important

It is very important to set the ORIGIN and BACKEND_URL environment variables correctly to make the frontend work properly. Read more about them here.

services:
  riven-frontend:
    image: ghcr.io/rivenmedia/riven-frontend:latest
    container_name: riven-frontend
    restart: unless-stopped
    tty: true
    environment:
      - ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000 # No trailing slash, read more below
      - BACKEND_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080 # No trailing slash, read more below
      - DIALECT=sqlite # or postgres
      - DATABASE_URL=/path/to/media.db # or postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/media
      - TZ=America/New_York
    ports:
      - '3000:3000'

Then run the following command:

docker-compose up -d

It will start the frontend container called riven-frontend on port 3000.

Using npm (or pnpm or yarn)

Make sure you have npm / pnpm / yarn installed on your system (pnpm is recommended).

Install the dependencies:

npm install # or pnpm install or yarn

Then run the following command:

npm run build # or pnpm run build or yarn build

It will build the frontend in the build directory.

Then run the following command:

ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000 BACKEND_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080 node build

It will start the frontend on port 3000.

Environment variables

• ORIGIN: It's the URL you will use to access the frontend. If running behind a reverse proxy, you should set it to the URL of the reverse proxy, like https://riven.example.com. If running locally, you can let it be http://localhost:3000 or you local server IP address like http://192.168.1.45:3000.

• BACKEND_URL: The URL of the backend. Default should work in most cases. You can also replace it with container name of backend if you are using docker-compose.
