Local Counterwallet Development Instructions

Introduction

To develop on counterwallet locally, this folder contains configuration for a local nginx server that can proxy requests to a remote counterwallet instance.

You may use your own remote counterwallet server or the public counterwallet server at wallet.counterwallet.io.

Usage

Requirements

• a local copy of nginx
• A mime.types file at /etc/nginx/mime.types. On home nginx with Mac, do sudo ln -s /usr/local/etc/nginx/mime.types /etc/nginx/mime.types
• envsubst. On mac do brew install gettype && ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/bin/envsubst /usr/local/bin/envsubst

Start the Script

Basic Usage:

cd development
./run-dev-server.sh

To customize the remote counterwallet host:

cd development
DEV_REMOTE_HOST="my.other-server.io" ./run-dev-server.sh

Visit the application

Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/?testnet=1 in your web browser. You can also use http://127.0.0.1:8080/src/?testnet=1 for the unminified sources when making changes.

To change the port 8080 to another part, start the script with:

cd development
DEV_PORT="18888" ./run-dev-server.sh

Limitations

• This works for testnet only

Important: Use For Development Only

Use this for development only, as the local requests are not sent securely by default.
