Mobi is a decentralized, federated, and distributed graph data platform for teams and communities to publish and discover data and data models that are instantly consumable.
See https://mobi.inovexcorp.com/ for more information.
To build the Mobi source code, you must have the following software and tools installed.
| Technology | Version | Download Link |
|---|---|---|
| Java | 8 | http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html |
| Maven | 3.1+ | https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi |
| Node.js | 6+ | https://nodejs.org/en/download/ |
| Google Chrome | 59+ | https://www.google.com/chrome/ |
Clone the Mobi project from git and navigate to that directory on your machine. Run the following command to build the source:
mvn clean install
The build creates the Mobi distribution as both a .tar.gz file and a .zip file in the
mobi-distribution/target directory. Extract one of the files and navigate into that directory.
Inside the extracted distribution directory, start up the Mobi Karaf instance. The distribution is configured to automatically deploy the required bundles and services to the runtime using Karaf features. To start the runtime, simply open the command line interface and run the start script.
For Unix/Linux:
bin/start
or for Windows:
bin\start.bat
The Mobi web application should now be accessible at https://localhost:8443/mobi/index.html.
To stop the server, use the respective stop scripts.
To prepare Mobi for a release (non-snapshot) build, run the build using the release-build profile, i.e:
mvn clean install -P release-build
The release-build profile will minify the web resources and prepare karaf scripts to use release versions.
Integration tests are controlled by the skipITs system property and are disabled by default. To run integration tests as part of the build, set the property to false:
mvn clean install -DskipITs=false
The build caches minified image files to improve performance. If you build the project in more than one location on your machine, you may have to clear the frontend cache of optimized images. To do this, you will have to run a Gulp command. If you have Node.js installed, run the following command to install gulp globally.
npm install -g gulp
NOTE: This action may have to be run as root.
Once gulp is installed, the image cache can be cleared by navigating into the com.mobi.web directory and running the following command.
gulp clearcache
Mobi is also availble as a Docker image. Visit https://hub.docker.com/r/inovexis/mobi/ to find available images. Images can also be built locally. See the mobi-distribution module for more information.
