Tech

Tarpaulin uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• MySQL - HTML enhanced for web apps!
• MongoDB - Database to store images with GridFS bucket
• Redis - Rate limiting with Reddis.
• GridFS - Store images as buckets with MongoDB
• mySQL2 - I/O to the MYSQL backend
• Docker - Docker container to run MongoDB, Redis, MySQL
• Express - Express
• Node.js - fast node.js network app framework

And of course Dillinger itself is open source with a [public repository][dill] on GitHub.

Installation

Tarpaulin requires Node.js v4+ to run.

Install the dependencies and devDependencies and start the server.

$ npm install 

### Docker
Tarpaulin is very easy to install and deploy in a Docker container.

By default, the Docker will expose port 8080, so change this within the Dockerfile if necessary. When ready, simply use the Dockerfile to build the image.
docker-compose up 

Verify the deployment by navigating to your server address in your preferred browser.

localhost:8000
