offhaul

It is a web app for moving (hauling 😏) your email and accounts with a few simple clicks from one provider to another. This includes emails and sub directory structures, notes, contacts and calendars.

With this open source project I am trying to improve my abilities with MongoDB, Node.js and its eco system. At the same time I want to offer a free and open solution for anyone to move their accounts as easy as possible.

I appreciate any help you can offer to improve the code and help me better my programming skills.

Requirements:

• Installed git
• Installed Node.js >= 9.4.0
• A running MongoDB instance. I recommend mlab.com, which is free up to 500MB and you don't have to enter any credit card information.

Installation

Local installation for Mac and Linux Systems:

• For locally run:

  • git clone https://github.com/CodeCook83/offhaul.git
  • cd offhaul
  • npm install
  • cp config/keys_prod.js config/keys_dev.js
  • Edit keys_dev.js as follows and fill in your data

      module.exports = {
        mongoURI : 'mongodb://<user>:<password>@<server>/offhaul-dev',
        googleClientID: 'your code',
        googleClientSecret: 'your code',
        facebookClientID: 'your code',
        facebookClientSecret: 'your code',
        twitterClientID : 'your code',
        twitterClientSecret: 'your code',
        sessionSecret: 'your code',
        mailUser: 'your code',
        mailPassword: 'your code',
        mailSmtp: 'your code',
        mailPort: 'your code'
      }

  • run nodemon
  • Visit the site on http://localhost:5000

• For server run - e.g. Heroku

  • On Mac:
    • Install brew
    • brew install heroku/brew/heroku
  • On Linux
    • wget -qO- https://cli-assets.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh
  • In the terminal: heroku login --> email and password
  • git clone https://github.com/CodeCook83/offhaul.git
  • cd offhaul
  • heroku create
  • fill your data in scripts/heroku_set_config_vars.sh then
  • chmod +x heroku_set_config_vars.sh
  • ./heroku_set_config_vars.sh
  • heroku git:remote -a <your app name>
  • git push heroku master
  • heroku open
  • visit your heroku side

Have fun!
