Compatibility

Prerequisites

- A running Kong installation
- Nodejs
- Npm
- Gulp
- Bower

Used libraries

* Sails.js, http://sailsjs.org/
* AngularJS, https://angularjs.org/
* Bootstrap, http://getbootstrap.com/

Installation

Install npm and node.js. Instructions can be found here.

Install bower, gulp and sails packages.

$ npm install bower gulp sails -g

$ git clone https://github.com/pantsel/konga.git

$ cd konga

$ npm install

Configuration

You can configure your application to use your environment specified
settings.

There is an example configuration file on following path.

/config/local_example.js

Just copy this to /config/local.js and make necessary changes to it. Note that this
local.js file is in .gitignore so it won't go to VCS at any point.

$3

Konga is bundled with It's own persistence mechanism for storing users and configuration.

A local persistent object store is used by default, which works great as a bundled, starter database (with the strict caveat that it is for non-production use only).

The application also supports some of the most popular databases out of the box:

1. MySQL
2. MongoDB
3. PostgresSQL
4. SQL Server

In order to use them, in your /config/local.js replace

models: {

    connection: process.env.DB_ADAPTER || 'localDiskDb',

}

with

models: {

    connection: process.env.DB_ADAPTER || 'the-name-of-adapter-you-wish-to-use', // 'mysql', 'mongo', 'sqlserver' or 'postgres'

}

See Sails adapters for further configuration

*
##### Note :
In case of MySQL, PostgresSQL or SQL Server adapters,
you will need to create a database named konga_database manually and run the app in development mode the first time.

npm start

Then kill the process and start Konga as you would in production mode.
Konga will not create the database or tables in production mode.
*

Running Konga

$3

$ npm start

Konga GUI will be available at http://localhost:1337

$3

$ npm run production

Konga GUI will be available at http://localhost:1337

$3

The following instructions assume that you have a running Kong instance following the
instructions from Kong's docker hub

$ docker pull pantsel/konga

$ docker run -p 1337:1337 

             --link kong:kong

             --name konga

             -e "NODE_ENV=production" \ // or "development" | defaults to 'development'

             pantsel/konga

#### To use one of the supported databases

// As stated before, in case of 'postgres','sqlserver'  or 'mysql' adapters,

// the database defined in DB_DATABASE must be created manually and the app must 

// start in development mode the first time in order to be able to create the tables.

// You can do that by bashing into Konga's container and running 'node app.js --dev'.

// You may also need to add an extra link that points to your database container.

$ docker run -p 1337:1337 

             --link kong:kong \

             -e "DB_ADAPTER=the-name-of-the-adapter" \ // 'mongo','postgres','sqlserver'  or 'mysql'

             -e "DB_HOST=your-db-hostname" \

             -e "DB_PORT=your-db-port" \ // Defaults to the default db port

             -e "DB_USER=your-db-user" \ // Omit if not relevant

             -e "DB_PASSWORD=your-db-password" \ // Omit if not relevant

             -e "DB_DATABASE=your-db-name" \ // Defaults to 'konga_database'

             -e "NODE_ENV=production" \ // or 'development' | defaults to 'development'

             --name konga \

             pantsel/konga

Upgrading

In some cases a newer version of Konga may introduce new db tables, collections or changes in schemas.
The only thing you need to do is to start Konga in dev mode once so that the migrations will be applied.
Then stop the app and run it again in production mode.

FAQ

##### 1. Getting blank page with Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined

In some cases when running npm install, the bower dependencies are not installed properly.
You will need to cd into your project's root directory and install them manually by typing

$ bower --allow-root install

##### 2. Can't add/edit some plugin properties.
When a plugin property is an array, the input is handled by a chip component.
You will need to press enter after every value you type in
so that the component assigns it to an array index.
See issue #48 for reference.

##### 3. Database migrations do not run automatically when starting the app.
See issue #40 for reference.
