Running the map

We're excited for you to help improve this project. We've outlined a few steps to get it running locally as easily as possible. Let us know on Slack if you run into any trouble!

Option #1: Use npm

1. Download and install Node.js and npm (if needed) from https://nodejs.org/en/

2. Open a command prompt to the root directory of the covid19-foodmap and install dependencies:

$ npm install

3. Start the development server:

$ npm start

4. The development server runs at http://localhost:3000/. A browser window should be opened automatically when the app boots.

Option #2: Use Docker

1. Install Docker Desktop (for Mac or Windows)
2. Pull the code down:

git clone git@github.com:OpenMaine/covid19-foodmap.git

3. Build the image:

docker build -t covid19-foodmap .

4. Run the container:

docker run -p 8080:8080
--mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/usr/src/app
--volume node_modules:/usr/src/app/node_modules
covid19-foodmap

5. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080

Due to differences in host and container package binaries, node_modules is NOT sync'd. If you prefer (for IDE features or other needs) to have a copy of the packages installed on your host project directory as well, you'll need to run npm install in both locations when changes to package.json happen:

npm install && docker container exec "$(docker ps --filter ancestor=covid19-foodmap --filter status=running -n 1 -q)" npm install

Community Partners

We've been asked by the Mutual Aid group Mainers Together (mainerstogether.com) to put together a map for their organizers to use when assisting need requests. This map would have updated hours and pick up/drop off locations. We will coordinate with Mainers Together to conduct outreach and data validation.
