payid-deploy-without-docker.md

If you want to set up and run a PayID server, you have several options. This document describes how to run a PayID server without using Docker.

For other ways to deploy a PayID server, see:

• Run the demo script
• Set up PayID on AWS

Before you begin, make sure that you have installed Postgres locally, or in an otherwise accessible location.

1. Clone the PayID repo. git clone https://github.com/xpring-eng/payid.git && cd payid

2. Install dependencies.

   npm i

3. Generate the build files in build/* (app code + SQL scripts).

   npm run build

4. Start PayID. The npm run start command generates the schema if it does not yet exist.

   DB_HOSTNAME=localhost DB_NAME=dev_payid DB_USERNAME=payid_dev
   
   DB_PASSWORD='xxxxx' npm run start
   

5. To make sure PayID runs continuously, run PayID through a tool like forever.

   npm install forever -g

6. Run PayID with forever.

   DB_HOSTNAME=localhost DB_NAME=dev_payid DB_USERNAME=payid_dev
   
   DB_PASSWORD='xxxxx' forever start build/src/index.js
