Install globally with npm. We require Node.js's version of at least 12.x and npm v6.x (or yarn v2.x).
npm install -g @ethersphere/bee-dashboardcors-allowed-origins: ['*'] in the Bee config file and then restart the Bee node. To see where the config file is,
consult the
official Bee documentation
To start use:
bee-dashboardThis should open the webpage on http://localhost:8080
You can also define your own port with the PORT environment variable. E.g.
export PORT=3005
bee-dashboardWill start the bee-dashboard on http://localhost:3005
To build Docker image and run it, execute the following from inside project directory:
# Basic build with default values
docker build . -t bee-dashboard
docker run --rm -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 bee-dashboardYou can also customize the Bee host and port during build:
# Build with custom Bee host and port
docker build \
--build-arg REACT_APP_BEE_HOST=http://your-bee-host:1633 \
--build-arg BEE_DESKTOP_PORT=7999 \
-t bee-dashboard .
# Run with the custom port
docker run --rm -p 127.0.0.1:7999:7999 bee-dashboardBee dashboard is now available on http://localhost:8080 (or your custom port if specified)
git clone [email protected]:ethersphere/bee-dashboard.git
cd bee-dashboard
npm i
npm startThe Bee Dashboard runs in development mode on http://localhost:3031/
The CRA supports to specify "environmental variables" during build time which are then hardcoded into the served static files. We support following variables:
REACT_APP_BEE_DESKTOP_ENABLED(boolean) that toggles if the Dashboard is in Desktop mode or not.REACT_APP_BEE_DESKTOP_URL(string) defines custom URL where the Desktop API is expected. By default, it is same origin under which the Dashboard is served.REACT_APP_BEE_HOST(string) defines custom Bee API URL to be used as default one. By default, thehttp://localhost:1633is used.REACT_APP_DEFAULT_RPC_URL(string) defines the default RPC provider URL. Be aware, that his only configures the default value. The user can override this in Settings, which is then persisted in local store and has priority over the value set in this env. variable. By defaulthttps://xdai.fairdatasociety.orgis used.
If you want to develop Bee Dashboard in the Swarm Desktop mode, then spin up swarm-desktop to the point where Desktop
is initialized (eq. the splash screen disappear) and:
echo "REACT_APP_BEE_DESKTOP_URL=http://localhost:3054
REACT_APP_BEE_DESKTOP_ENABLED=true" > .env.development.local
npm start
npm run desktop # This will inject the API key to the DashboardThere are some ways you can make this module better:
- Consult our open issues and take on one of them
- Help our tests reach 100% coverage!
- Join us in our Discord chat in the #develop-on-swarm channel if you have questions or want to give feedback
