## Running the Web UI in development mode against a production Nomad cluster
|
|
|
|
:warning: **Running the Web UI in development mode is only necessary when debugging
|
|
issues. Unless you are debugging an issue, please only use the Web UI contained
|
|
in the Nomad binary.** :warning:
|
|
|
|
The production Web UI concatenates and minifies JavaScript and CSS. This can make errors
|
|
cryptic or useless. In development mode, files are as expected and stack traces are useful.
|
|
|
|
Debugging Web UI issues with the Web UI in development mode is done in three steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Cloning the Nomad Repo
|
|
2. Setting up your environment (or using Vagrant)
|
|
3. Serving the Web UI locally while proxying to the production Nomad cluster
|
|
|
|
### Cloning the Nomad Repo
|
|
|
|
The Web UI is part of the same repo as Nomad itself. Clone the repo
|
|
[using Github](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/).
|
|
|
|
### Setting up your environment
|
|
|
|
The [Web UI README](README.md) includes a list of software prerequisites and instructions
|
|
for running the UI locally or with the Vagrant VM.
|
|
|
|
### Serving the Web UI locally while proxying to the production Nomad cluster
|
|
|
|
Serving the Web UI is done with a single command in the `/ui` directory.
|
|
|
|
- **Local:** `ember serve`
|
|
- **Vagrant:** `ember serve --watch polling --port 4201`
|
|
|
|
However, this will use the [Mirage fixtures](http://www.ember-cli-mirage.com/) as a backend.
|
|
To use your own Nomad cluster as a backend, use the proxy option.
|
|
|
|
- **Local:** `ember serve --proxy https://demo.nomadproject.io`
|
|
- **Vagrant:** `ember serve --watch polling --port 4201 --proxy https://demo.nomadproject.io`
|
|
|
|
The Web UI will now be accessible from your host machine.
|
|
|
|
- **Local:** [http://localhost:4200](http://localhost:4200)
|
|
- **Vagrant:** [http://localhost:4201](http://localhost:4201)
