Developing Betasac.org, an open source app for the beta testing community

Betasac is an open source Node.js using Express.js 3.x, MongoDB, Redis. See it on GitHub.

It is a free online community for sharing and promoting apps while they are in alpha or beta testing.

Getting setup

You'll need Redis, hosted locally or in the cloud. 

Suggested Redis providers

• Redis4You
• RedisToGo

You'll also need MongoDB, again hosted locally or in the cloud.

Suggested MongoDB providers

• MongoHQ
• MongoLab

Node.js version 8.x+ must be installed.

Clone the repository from github:

git clone https://github.com/ruffrey/betasac.git && cd betasac

Make sure the packages are installed.
(sudo where applicable) npm install

Put your settings in the betasac/config.js file.

Start the app:
node app.js

You should see a printout of the configs and then after a few seconds an indication of a successful MongoDB connection.

That's it!
