Build bundle from source and develop Wekan

2. With steps 3-6 fork and clone your fork of Wekan

Docker

• Docker
• Docker Dev Environment

If you don't need to build Wekan, use prebuilt container with docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/wekan/wekan like this:

docker-compose up -d

If you like to build from source, clone Wekan repo:

git clone https://github.com/wekan/wekan

Then edit docker-compose.yml with these lines uncommented this way:

   #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # ==== BUILD wekan-app DOCKER CONTAINER FROM SOURCE, if you uncomment these ====
    # ==== and use commands: docker-compose up -d --build
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
      args:
        - NODE_VERSION=${NODE_VERSION}
        - METEOR_RELEASE=${METEOR_RELEASE}
        - NPM_VERSION=${NPM_VERSION}
        - ARCHITECTURE=${ARCHITECTURE}
        - SRC_PATH=${SRC_PATH}
        - METEOR_EDGE=${METEOR_EDGE}
        - USE_EDGE=${USE_EDGE}
    #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then you can build Wekan with

docker-compose up -d --build
