Open a terminal window and start the web app using the following commands from the project root:
$ yarn install # may take a while
$ yarn start
The final yarn start
command should open a local instance of Backstage in your browser, otherwise open one of the URLs printed in the terminal.
By default, backstage will start on port 3000, however you can override this by setting an environment variable PORT
on your local machine. e.g. export PORT=8080
then running yarn start
. Or PORT=8080 yarn start
.
Once successfully started, you should see the following message in your terminal window:
You can now view example-app in the browser.
Local: http://localhost:8080
On Your Network: http://192.168.1.224:8080
Run the following commands if you have Docker environment
$ docker build . -t spotify/backstage
$ docker run --rm -it -p 80:80 spotify/backstage
Then open http://localhost/ on your browser.
