You can run a Network Next test environment locally with docker compose on any OS. This lets you quickly get a test instance of the whole system up and running locally, which you can interact with via a web browser.
-
Install Docker from http://docker.com
-
Change into the directory where you cloned the source
cd ~/next -
Build the system
docker compose build -
Bring the system up
docker compose up -
View the portal
Navigate to the network next portal at http://127.0.0.1:8080
It will take a few minutes for the system to fully initialize. Once everything has started up, you should see something like this:
Congratulations! Network Next up is up and running in docker!
-
Take the system down
docker compose down
Next step: setup your local machine for development.
