Last updated 8 months ago

Prerequisites

To build the project locally, you need to have Go installed on your machine -

Running

Once you have the project cloned,

  1. Run the following command in the project directory to install/download all dependencies

go mod tidy
  1. Update the configuration in the config.toml file (add your origin URL, the port, etc.)

  2. Run the command below to start the cache server

go run main.go
  1. That's it! You can start making requests to your cache server.

Building

You can build the executable for the server by running the command below

go build -o orbitgraphql main.go

This will build the binary on your machine.

Please note, the build binary will need the config.toml file in the same directory if you're providing configuration in the file. You can also provide configuration for the server using envionment variables.

Docker

First thing you need to do is run the server. You can run it using Docker.

Docker Build

docker build . -t orbitgraphql

Running the Docker container

docker run -p 9090:9090 -e ORBIT_ORIGIN=http://localhost:8080/graphql orbitgraphql

All requests to localhost:9090/ will be proxied to localhost:8080/graphql and requests which result in a cache HIT will be served directly.
