Guild

A forum running in production.

Setup and Install

The Guild is a Node.js app that talks to a Postgres database.

Install the latest stable version of Node.
The Guild depends on the plv8 Postgres extension.
Download the repository and enter the directory that it created:
```
  git clone git@github.com:danneu/guild.git
  cd guild
```
Enter the guild directory and install its dependencies:
```
  npm install
```
Launch Postgres (by default it will run on http://localhost:5432) and create an empty database named guild.
```
  createdb guild
```
The Guild comes with a command that rebuilds the database with tables and fills them with some data to play with:
```
  npm run reset-db
```

Now you can launch the server:

  npm start
  > Listening on http://localhost:3000

The Guild is configured with environment variable listed in server/config.js.

It will run with the default variables, but some features are turned off until they are configured:

Email-sending system requires AWS_KEY and AWS_SECRET (your http://aws.amazon.com/ API creds)
User registration system requires RECAPTCHA_SITEKEY and RECAPTCHA_SITESECRET (your https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html API creds)
