Clone Repo

Run these commands to clone the code from the remote repo.

git clone "https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/labs/tools/VideoCutTool"

cd ./VideoCutTool

Run environment

Run this command inside VideoCutTool to start development docker container.

docker-compose -f .\docker-compose.dev.yml up --build

The first time you run it will take some time 4-8 minutes (depending on your internet speed) because it will pull the necessary images from docker and install NPM packages. Once it is up and running changes will be hot loaded.

Note: anytime you update package.json the build process will take a while.

To run production you can run this command

docker-compose -f .\docker-compose.prd.yml up -d
