Development Environment Setup
Use the repository's real setup flow. The main source of truth is the Makefile.
Important:
- Some local development commands change host settings such as DNS, AppArmor, and IPv6.
- Some commands use
sudo. - Read the setup guides first if you are new to this environment.
- The local development workflow is mainly tested on Linux.
Platform-Specific Instructions
Shared Repository Workflow
These steps are the shared repository workflow and apply regardless of whether you work on Linux, macOS, or Windows with WSL2.
Bootstrap
Run these commands from the repository root:
make bootstrap
make environment-bootstrap
make up
make trust-ca
Bootstrap Commands
| Phase | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Initial setup | make bootstrap |
Installs project dependencies and runs the first repository setup. |
| Host preparation | make environment-bootstrap |
Prepares the local development machine for the project workflow. |
| Start stack | make up |
Starts the local development stack. |
| Browser trust | make trust-ca |
Trusts the generated local CA so *.infinito.example works correctly in your browser. |
Teardown
When you are done, use these commands to stop the stack and clean up the local environment:
make down
make environment-teardown
Teardown Commands
| Phase | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Stop stack | make down |
Stops the local development stack. |
| Host cleanup | make environment-teardown |
Reverts local development environment changes where supported. |
Full Development Flow
The repository already contains a development helper script at environment.sh. The commands from that file are explained here as the intended end-to-end flow.
Flow Summary
| Step | Command | Purpose in this flow |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | make install |
Installs the dependencies needed before running the local development flow. |
| 2 | make environment-bootstrap |
Prepares the host machine for local development. |
| 3 | make up |
Starts the development stack. |
| 4 | make test |
Runs the main combined validation flow. |
| 5 | APPS=web-app-matomo make deploy-fresh-purged-app |
Runs the baseline validation path for one concrete app. For the retry-loop policy, see Iteration. |
| 6 | make trust-ca |
Makes the generated local certificates trusted by the host browser. |
| 7 | make down |
Stops the running development stack. |
| 8 | make environment-teardown |
Cleans up host-side development environment changes. |
Use this as a practical reference when you want to understand how local development is expected to work.
Minimal Hardware Resources
If you work on a machine with limited CPU, RAM, or disk space, use the guide at Manage Low-Hardware Resources. The public article with the same topic is Developing on PCs with Limited Resources.
