Documentation

Full documentation for this project is available in the docs/ directory and online.

Quickstart

This quickstart requires a working Docker Desktop installation and git:

Clone the repository:

shell git clone https://github.com/cfpb/consumerfinance.gov.git cd consumerfinance.gov

One of the following runtimes:
Set up and run the Docker containers via docker-compose:

shell docker-compose up
Set up and run the Docker containers via Kubernetes via Helm:

shell ./build-images.sh && ./helm-install.sh

if you see an error like:

Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable: Get "http://localhost:8080/version": dial tcp [::1]:8080: connect: connection refused

then you need to activate Kubernetes in your docker desktop settings!

This may take some time, as it will also load initial data and build the frontend.

consumerfinance.gov should now be available at http://localhost:8000.

Our documentation will be available at http://localhost:8888 (docker-compose only).

The Wagtail admin area will be available at http://localhost:8000/admin/, which you can log into with the credentials admin/admin.
