Busola backend

Overview

This is a REST proxy for Busola

Prerequisites

• Node.js v12
• npm or Yarn

Installation

To install the backend together with Busola, run the npm run bootstrap:ci command in the root directory.

You can also install dependencies just for this app using the npm ci command.

Usage

The primary usage of this component is to run it together with Busola using the npm start command in the root directory. However, you can run it separately if needed.

To start Busola backend without the hot-reload feature, run npm start.

Another way to start Busola backend is by using the hot-reload feature that is useful for the development process. See the Development section for details.

You can also use the docker build command to use the backend as an image of a Kubernetes Pod.

Development

Use the npm run watch command to run the backend in the unsafe mode (no TLS certificate) and with the hot-reload feature.
