Set Up

Will Need to install Nodejs and Mongodb in your environment.
Clone or download source code from repository and install all the dependencies.

npm install

Create intial user inside Mongodb (can set up db user as you wish)...
Initial user account can be anything but here is just an example.

use yourDatabase;

db.user.insert(
  { 
    "_id" : ObjectId("54b9f5ce2df9147127007652"), 
    "username" : "admin", 
    "password" : "$2a$10$VYm8D8gpt3lVKwtD7VHxL.PkFpWHBpJuISv4gLMRAFffp/mZ1YmlW", 
    "email" : "admin@admin.com", 
    "admin" : true, 
    "spaceLimit" : 2, 
    "totalUsage" : 0, 
    "user_id" : "54b9f5ce2df9147127007652" 
  }
);

// This will create...
{
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'admin'
}

Below is just an example of creating user for mongodb.

db.createUser(
   {
     user: "username",
     pwd: "password",
     roles: [{role:"readWrite", db:"database"}]
   }
);

Below are some settings you can change depending on your environment.

// config/connections.js
// mongodb config
someMongodbServer: {
  adapter: 'sails-mongo',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 27017,
  user: '',
  password: '',
  database: ''
},

// config/session.js
// use mongodb config for session storage
adapter: 'mongo',
host: 'localhost',
port: 27017,
db: '',
collection: 'sessions',
username: '',
password: '',
auto_reconnect: true,

// config/local.js
// If need, running port can be changed from config/local.js.
port: some_port#

// confog/models.js
// When running the application for first time, please set the migration mode to 2 (alter).
// 2(alter) will create needed collections in mongodb for running the sails application.
// And change the migration to safe after...
migrate: 'safe'

If you using Nginx or Apache for proxy, max body limit for upload file need to be set.

# This is an example setting for Nginx
# /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

http {
  ...
  # Set the max body size limit
  # 1M -> 1 megabyte
  # 0 -> do not set the limit
  client_max_body_size 0;
  ...
}

Start the application from terminal.

cd shary
sails lift

You can use foreverjs and nodemon to keep the application running.
Make sure you create .foreverignore in the root directory.

cd shary
vi .foreverignore

# insert below to .foreverignore
**/.tmp/**

# stop the application and re-run it with below command
forever -w -c nodemon app.js --exitcrash
