This repository is discontinued: See https://github.com/vault12/zax-dashboard for the new reference dashboard implementation.
Zax-Dash is a simple AngularJS single page app to interact with Zax Relay, a NaCl-based Cryptographic Relay. Zax-Dash uses the Glow library to provide a user-friendly access point to given relay internal mailboxes. We maintain a live Test Server that runs our latest build. For testing purposes expiration of any communication on that relay is set for 30 minutes. You can read the full technical specification here.
The default Zax-Dash deployment is included in the Zax repository and can be accessed via /public. You do not need to clone this repository to have the dashboard functionality included on your Zax server.
In order to build and use Zax-Dash from source, you need to have a relatively recent version of nodeJS installed.
In a terminal, navigate to the directory in which you'd like to install Zax-Dash and type the following:
# get the source
git clone git@github.com:vault12/zax-dash.git
# install dependencies
cd zax-dash
npm install
# run the build script
node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js buildTo connect to your relay, first make sure that it is running on localhost:8080 via rails s -p 8080.
Alternatively, you can modify the relayUrl method in crypto.service.coffee to use an alternate relay or to use Zax-dash in standalone mode.
To run Zax-Dash locally (outside of a Zax instance) run this command:
node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js watch Note that if you have Gulp installed globally, you can also simply type:
gulp watchWe encourage you to contribute to Zax-Dash using pull requests! Please check out the Contributing to Zax Guide for guidelines about how to proceed.
