Saleor Platform

Saleor Platform

Run all Saleor services from one repository.

About

What is Saleor Platform?

Saleor Platform is the easiest way to start local development with all the major Saleor services:

Keep in mind this repository is for local development only and is not meant to be deployed in any production environment! If you're not a developer and just want to try out Saleor you can check our live demo.

Requirements

  1. Docker

How to clone the repository?

To clone the repository, run the following command

git clone https://github.com/saleor/saleor-platform.git

How to run it?

  1. We are using shared folders to enable live code reloading. Without this, Docker Compose will not start:

    • Windows/MacOS: Add the cloned saleor-platform directory to Docker shared directories (Preferences -> Resources -> File sharing).
    • Windows/MacOS: Make sure that in Docker preferences you have dedicated at least 5 GB of memory (Preferences -> Resources -> Advanced).
    • Linux: No action is required, sharing is already enabled and memory for the Docker engine is not limited.

  2. Go to the cloned directory:

cd saleor-platform
  1. Build the application:
docker compose build
  1. Apply Django migrations:
docker compose run --rm api python3 manage.py migrate
  1. Populate the database with example data and create the admin user:
docker compose run --rm api python3 manage.py populatedb --createsuperuser

Note that --createsuperuser argument creates an admin account for [email protected] with the password set to admin.

  1. Run the application:
docker compose up

Where is the application running?

Troubleshooting

How to solve issues with lack of available space or build errors after an update

Most of the time both issues can be solved by cleaning up space taken by old containers. After that, we build again whole platform.

  1. Make sure docker stack is not running
docker compose stop
  1. Remove existing volumes

Warning! Proceeding will remove also your database container! If you need existing data, please remove only services that cause problems! https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/rm/

docker compose rm
  1. Build fresh containers
docker compose build
  1. Now you can run a fresh environment using commands from How to run it? section. Done!

Still no available space

If you are getting issues with lack of available space, consider pruning your docker cache:

Warning! This will remove:

  • all stopped containers
  • all networks not used by at least one container
  • all dangling images
  • all dangling build cache

More info: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/system_prune/

I've been warned 

docker system prune

Issues with migrations after changing the versions - resetting the database

Please submit an issue ticket if you spot issues with database migrations during the version update.

When testing developer releases or making local changes, you might end up in a state where you would like to reset the database completely. Since its state is persisted in the mounted volume, you'll need to use a dedicated command.

Warning! This command will remove all data already stored in the database.

I've been warned 

docker compose down --volumes db

How to run application parts?

  • docker compose up api worker for backend services only
  • docker compose up for backend and frontend services
