This is the new Linode Manager. It provides a web interface for managing your Linode account. Currently this software is pre-alpha and won't be released for a while. Read the blog post.
The following buzzwords are involved in this project:
git clone https://github.com/Linode/manager.git cd manager node --version # should be 5.x or better npm install Currently the codebase is hardcoded to point to our alpha environment. It communicates with Linode via Linode API 4. You'll need to register an OAuth client in the alpha environment, then create a file at src/secrets.js with your client ID and client secret set appropriately:
export const clientId = "change me"; export const clientSecret = "change me"; Run:
npm start to start the development server. Connect to localhost:3000 to try it out. Most of the changes you make will be applied on the fly, but you may occasionally find that you have to restart it.
While running the manager in development mode, you may press Ctrl+H to view the redux dev tools to track the state of the application, and Ctrl+Q to move them around the screen if necessary.
To run tests:
npm test To automatically re-run tests when you make changes:
npm run test:watch Our tests live in test/**.spec.js. They're run with Mocha and do assertions with Chai. We're aiming for as close to 100% test coverage as possible, but we're still figuring out what patterns to use for testing in this project.
Come chat with us in #linode-next on irc.oftc.net if you're interested in helping out with this. We'd love to have community input on how the new manager takes shape. This is your chance to help build the features you need into it! We'll take pull requests in the usual way. We're still learning about the technologies in use here ourselves, so bear with us as we figure out the right patterns - some large scale refactorings may be in order.
