Installing the PullRequest Proxy

Below are steps for installing the PullRequest Proxy. You should have received a link from PullRequest with the proxy package tarball. If you haven't, please reach out to a PullRequest team member or [e-mail]

1. You will need a server/instance that can run Docker (recommended a standard variant of Linux)
   • If you need to install Docker you can follow instructions for your OS type here: https://docs.docker.com/install
   • You will also need docker-compose installed. Instructions can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install
     
     
2. Download the proxy package tarball to your server from the link provided by PullRequest.
   
   
3. Extract tarball into a directory (recommended in the user home that you're installing to). This will created the ~/pullrequest_proxy/ directory (see below).
   
   
4. If you are running as a non-root user, cd into the pullrequest_proxy folder and run the following:
   
   
5. Run ./start.sh. You can either make the script executable or just run it with:

   bash start.sh

6. This should start your proxy running at:

   http://<YOUR_SERVER>:5012

   Visit that site to access the PullRequest Proxy installation page.
   • If it doesn't load, then check for a log file at ./data/logs/proxy.log and tail the logs to see if it gives you any hint.
   • If there isn't a log file then the issue may be the permissions mentioned in Step 4.
   • If the logs don't seem to indicate any errors, but the page is still not loading, then you may want to check your network settings for this server to make sure that Port 5012 allows incoming connections.
