How to use
As you can see in the About section, there are lots of different components to play with! But at a minimum, in order to set up and use your own instance of Padloc you'll need to install and configure the Server and Web Client. In practice, there a few different ways to do this, but if you just want to install and test Padloc locally, doing so is really quite easy:
git clone git@github.com:padloc/padloc.git cd padloc npm ci npm start
The web client is now available at http://localhost:8080
!
In-depth guides on how to host your own "productive" version of Padloc and how to build and distribute your own versions of the desktop and mobile apps are coming soon!

Development Setup
Setting up your dev environment for working with Padloc is as simple as:
git clone git@github.com:padloc/padloc.git cd padloc npm ci
This may take a minute, so maybe grab a cup of ☕️.
Dev Mode
To start "dev mode", simply run
npm run dev
from the root of the project. This will start the backend server (by default
listening on port 3000
), as well as the PWA (available on
http://localhost:8080
) by default.
The server and PWA port can be changed vie the PL_TRANSPORT_HTTP_PORT
and
PL_PWA_PORT
environvent variables, respectively. For more configuration
options, check out the Conguration section of the
server and pwa.
Formatting
This project is formatted with Prettier. To re-format all files using our .prettierrc.json specification, run the following from the root of the project.
npm run format
To simply check whether everything is formatted correctly, you can use the following command:
npm run format:checkTesting
To run unit tests, use:
npm run test
Cypress end-to-end tests can be run via:
npm run test:e2e
And to start cypress tests in "dev mode":
npm run test:e2e:dev
Adding / removing dependencies
Since this is a monorepo consisting of multiple packages, adding/removing to/from a single package can be less than straightforward. The following commands are meant to make this easier.
To add a dependency to a package, run:
scope=[package_name] npm run add [dependency]
And to remove one:
scope=[package_name] npm run remove [dependency]
For example, here is how you would add typescript
to the @padloc/server
package:
scope=server npm run add typescript
Note: We're trying to keep the number and size of third-party dependencies to a minumum, so before you add a dependency, please think twice if it is really needed! Pull requests with unnecessary dependencies will very likely be rejected.
Updating The Version
The Padloc project consists of many different subpackages. To simplify versioning, we use a global version for all them. This means that when releasing a new version, the version of all subpackages needs to be updated, regardless of whether there have been changes in them or not. To update the global version accross the project, you can use the following command:
npm run version [semver_version]Deployment / Publishing
Padloc has a lot of different components that all need to be built/released/published in different ways. To manage this complexitiy, we have compiled all deployment steps for all components in a single Github Workflow. To release a new version, simply:
