Hosting

For hosting, there are two essential parts that need to be hosted. These are the Xeditor client and the Xeditor middleware.

Xeditor Client​

We can take the xeditor client productive through different ways. We now describe hosting via Docker and hosting via the operating system itself:

Docker​

Prerequirements​

  • Docker

Configuration​

FROM docker.hub.xeditor.com/alpine-node-java:latest as builder

WORKDIR /usr/app

ARG XEDITOR_NPM_USER=""
ARG XEDITOR_NPM_PASSWORD=""
ARG XEDITOR_NPM_REGISTRY="https://hub.xeditor.com/repository/xeditor"
ARG XEDITOR_NPM_EMAIL="docker-login@xeditor.com"

RUN /opt/npm-login.sh ${XEDITOR_NPM_USER} ${XEDITOR_NPM_PASSWORD} ${XEDITOR_NPM_EMAIL} ${XEDITOR_NPM_REGISTRY} @xeditor

COPY ./package*.json ./
RUN npm clean-install

COPY . .
RUN npm run build:production

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY --from="builder" /usr/app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html

Xeditor Middleware​

This topic is explained separately in the chapter of the middleware.

Using a reverse proxy​

Ideally, there is a reverse proxy before the middleware and the Xeditor client. This allows the middleware and the Xeditor client to run on the same host/port. This avoids cross site scripting errors and additional OPTION requests.
