![Alt](https://repobeats.axiom.co/api/embed/e5b062db986cb005d83e81724c00cb2b9cce8e4c.svg "Repobeats analytics image")
## Self-host
The client can be self hosted using the precompiled container images with an OCI
compatible runtime such as [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) or
[Podman](https://podman.io/). The base image used is
[Nginx 1.27](https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx)
```bash
# With Docker
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --restart always --name Meshtastic-Web ghcr.io/meshtastic/web
#With Podman
podman run -d -p 8080:8080 --restart always --name Meshtastic-Web ghcr.io/meshtastic/web
```
## Release Schedule
Our release process follows these guidelines:
- **Versioning:** We use Semantic Versioning (`Major.Minor.Patch`).
- **Stable Releases:** Published around the beginning of each month (e.g.,
`v2.6.1`).
- **Pre-releases:** A pre-release is typically issued mid-month for testing and
early adoption.
- **Nightly Builds:** An experimental Docker image containing the latest
cutting-edge features and fixes is automatically built nightly from the `main`
branch.
### Nightly Builds
```bash
# With Docker
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --restart always --name Meshtastic-Web ghcr.io/meshtastic/web:nightly
#With Podman
podman run -d -p 8080:8080 --restart always --name Meshtastic-Web ghcr.io/meshtastic/web:nightly
```
> [!WARNING]
>
> - Nightly builds represent the latest development state and may contain
> breaking changes
> - These builds undergo automated testing but may be less stable than tagged
> release versions
> - Not recommended for production environments unless you are actively testing
> new features
> - No guarantee of backward compatibility between nightly builds
#### Version Information
Each nightly build is tagged with:
- The nightly tag for the latest build
- A specific SHA for build reproducibility
### Feedback
If you encounter any issues with nightly builds, please report them in our
[issues tracker](https://github.com/meshtastic/web/issues). Your feedback helps
improve the stability of future releases
## Development & Building
You'll need to download the package manager used with this repo. You can install
it by visiting [pnpm.io](https://pnpm.io/) and following the installation
instructions listed on the home page.
### Development
Install the dependencies.
```bash
cd packages/web &&
pnpm install
```
Start the development server:
```bash
pnpm run dev
```
### Building and Packaging
Build the project:
```bash
pnpm run build
```
GZip the output:
```bash
pnpm run package
```
### Why pnpm?
Meshtastic Web uses pnpm as its package manager for several compelling
reasons:
- **Efficient Storage**: pnpm uses content-addressable storage, avoiding duplication
of packages across projects and saving significant disk space.
- **Fast Performance**: Faster package installation compared to other package
managers through symlinks and efficient dependency resolution.
- **Strict Dependency Management**: Prevents access to unlisted dependencies,
ensuring better project reliability and security.
- **Workspace Support**: Excellent monorepo support with workspaces for managing
multiple packages efficiently.
- **Reproducible Builds**: Lockfile ensures consistent builds across all
environments.
### Contributing
We welcome contributions! Here’s how the deployment flow works for pull
requests:
- **Preview Deployments:**\
Every pull request automatically generates a preview deployment on Vercel.
This allows you and reviewers to easily preview changes before merging.
- **Staging Environment (`client-test`):**\
Once your PR is merged, your changes will be available on our staging site:
[client-test.meshtastic.org](https://client-test.meshtastic.org/).\
This environment supports rapid feature iteration and testing without
impacting the production site.
- **Production Releases:**\
At regular intervals, stable and fully tested releases are promoted to our
production site: [client.meshtastic.org](https://client.meshtastic.org/).\
This is the primary interface used by the public to connect with their
Meshtastic nodes.
