Radicle Explorer

This user interface lets you interact with Radicle, a peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack, directly from your web browser.

Deployment Options:

• Public Server: The Radicle team maintains a public instance at app.radicle.xyz
• Local-first: Run the UI locally
• Self-hosting: Deploy the UI on your own server

Local-first

Prerequisites:

• Recent versions of Node.js (20.9.0 or higher) and npm installed

Run the following commands to access the web UI locally:

git clone https://seed.radicle.xyz/z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5.git radicle-explorer
cd radicle-explorer
npm install
npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your favourite browser.

Self-Hosting the UI

There are several ways to deploy the UI publicly. Here are two common options:

Using your own web server:

1. Run npm install && npm build to create a build for deployment
2. Configure your web server to serve the contents of the /build directory

Using Vercel (or similar static file hosting):

1. Fork this repository to create your own version
2. Configure your Vercel account to deploy the forked repository

Configuration

There's two ways to configure the UI:

Create a local.json config file

1. Copy default.json to a new file in the same folder called local.json.
2. Modify the properties in local.json to your preference.

Environment variables

1. Check custom-environment-variables.json for all available environment variables.
2. Set the desired environment variables when building the UI.

For advanced configuration options, have a look at the node-config package.
