**Eclipse Dirigible** is a High-Productivity Application Platform as a Service (hpaPaaS). It provides an application server consisting of pre-selected execution engines and built-in web development tools. It is suitable for rapid development of business applications by also leveraging the Low Code / No Code techniques.
> Enjoy Programming Like Never Before
From the end user's perspective (developer), Dirigible runs directly in the browser, therefore does not require any downloads or installations.
From the service provider's perspective (PaaS/SaaS), Dirigible packs all required components in a self-contained software bundle that can be deployed on a VM or Docker capable environment such as Kubernetes.
Dirigible supports access to RDBMS via JDBC. Currently supported versions for RDBMS are PostgreSQL, HANA, Sybase ASE, MySQL, H2, and Derby as well as NoSQL like MongoDB or pure OLAP like Snowflake.
Dirigible promotes the In-System Programming development model, where you make dynamic alteration of the live system. To provide the self-contained bundle serving all the needed features for a business application, Dirigible packs various engines such as ActiveMQ, Quartz, Lucene, Flowable, Mylyn, GraalJS and others.
The project started as an internal SAP initiative to address the extension and adoption use-cases related to SOA and Enterprise Services.

## Get Started
### Download
The "fast-track" - you can download the precompiled binaries produced by the GitHub Actions from [http://download.dirigible.io/](http://download.dirigible.io/) and skip the build section.
Nevertheless, we highly recommend building the binaries from source in order to have all experimental features that are not available in the releases.
### Build
##### Prerequisites
- [Git](http://git-scm.com/)
- [Java JDK 11+](https://adoptopenjdk.net/)
- [Maven 3.5.x](http://maven.apache.org/docs/3.5.3/release-notes.html)
- [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/getting-started/#install-esbuild) - `npm i -g esbuild`
- [tsc](https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript) - `npm i -g typescript`
##### Steps
1. Clone the [project repository - master branch](https://github.com/eclipse/dirigible/tree/master) or [download the latest sources](https://github.com/eclipse/dirigible/archive/refs/heads/master.zip).
In case there is an issue with 'Filename too long in Git for Windows' then add the fllowing git confoguration
```
git config --system core.longpaths true
```
3. Go to the root folder.
4. Build the project with:
mvn clean install
> If you are using Windows, make sure that you open the terminal as Administrator otherwise the tests will fail
- Quick build **with tests**:
mvn -T 1C clean install -D maven.javadoc.skip=true -D license.skip=true
- If you **don't want to trigger license updates**:
mvn clean install -D license.skip=true
- If you have a **multi-core system, enable threads**:
mvn -T 1C clean install
- If you **don't need to run tests**, you can add the following argument:
mvn clean install -D skipTests
- If you **don't need to compile and run tests**:
mvn clean install -D skipTests
- If you want to do a fast build, with **no tests, javadocs and license updates**:
mvn -T 1C clean install -D skipTests -D maven.javadoc.skip=true -D license.skip=true
- If you want to **run all integration tests only**:
```shell
DIRIGIBLE_GIT_REPO=''
cd $DIRIGIBLE_GIT_REPO
mvn -T 1C clean install -D skipTests -D maven.javadoc.skip=true -D license.skip=true -U
mvn -f tests/pom.xml verify -P integration-tests -D selenide.headless=true
```
- If you want to **run specific integration test(s)**:
```shell
DIRIGIBLE_GIT_REPO=''
cd $DIRIGIBLE_GIT_REPO
mvn -T 1C clean install -D skipTests -D maven.javadoc.skip=true -D license.skip=true -U
export TEST='CsvimIT,CreateNewProjectIT'
mvn -f tests/pom.xml verify -P integration-tests -Dit.test="$TEST"
```
> The build should pass successfully.
The produced `dirigible-application-XXX-executable.jar` file is in `build/application/target/` and is ready to be deployed. It is Spring Boot application, so it can be executed locally right away.
### Run
#### Standalone
##### Prerequisites
**macOS:**
brew install ttyd
**Linux:**
Linux support is built-in
More info about **ttyd** can be found at: [ttyd](https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd)
##### Steps
1. From the project root directory run command:
java -jar build/application/target/dirigible-application-*-executable.jar
> for Windows
java -jar build/application/target/$((Get-ChildItem dirigible-application-*-executable.jar -recurse -File | Sort-Object LastWriteTime | Select -Last 1).BaseName).jar
3. In case you want to debug the application run:
java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 -jar build/application/target/dirigible-application-*-executable.jar
4. Open a web browser and go to: [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080 "http://localhost:8080")
5. Login with user: `admin` and password `admin`
6. REST API description in an OpenAPI format can be found at: [http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html](http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html "http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html")
#### Docker
##### Prerequisites
- [Install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)
##### Steps
1. Get the container
- Pull the official image from Docker Hub:
docker pull dirigiblelabs/dirigible:latest
- Build it locally
cd build/application
docker build -t dirigiblelabs/dirigible:latest -f Dockerfile .
> prerequisite: build the project as described in step 4 [here](https://github.com/eclipse/dirigible/blob/master/README.md#steps)
- Build it locally **without cache**
cd build/application
docker build --no-cache -t dirigiblelabs/dirigible:latest -f Dockerfile .
> prerequisite: build the project as described in step 4 [here](https://github.com/eclipse/dirigible/blob/master/README.md#steps)
2. Start the container
```
docker run --name dirigible --rm -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 dirigiblelabs/dirigible:latest
```
If you want to have persistent workspace and databases, mount a host folder
```
export WORKSPACE_DIR='/tmp/dirigible'
docker run --name dirigible --rm -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 \
-v "$WORKSPACE_DIR:/target/dirigible" \
dirigiblelabs/dirigible:latest
```
__Note:__ we have observed performance issues on Windows when mounting a folder. To improve the perfomance, use dedicated volume instead:
```
docker volume create dirigible_volume
docker run --name dirigible --rm -p 8080:8080 `
-v "dirigible_volume:/target/dirigible" `
dirigiblelabs/dirigible:latest
```
3. Open a web browser and go to: [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080 "http://localhost:8080")
4. Optionally you can enhance and customize the Dockerfile from [here](https://github.com/eclipse/dirigible/blob/master/build/application/Dockerfile)
#### Native image
##### Prerequisites
- [Install SDKMAN](https://sdkman.io)
- Install GraalVM: `sdk install java 21.0.1-graal`
- Make sure that `JAVA_HOME` and `PATH` env variables point to your graalvm jdk from the previous step
##### Steps
- Execute the following on your github repo root folder
```
# build dirigible fat jar
mvn -T 1C clean install -D maven.test.skip=true -D skipTests -D maven.javadoc.skip=true -D license.skip=true
rm -rf dirigible
# build native image
native-image -jar 'build/application/target/dirigible-application-10.0.0-SNAPSHOT-executable.jar' -o dirigible
# start dirigible
./dirigible
```
#### PostgreSQL
##### Steps
1. Install PostgreSQL e.g. for MacOS:
brew install postgresql
Alternatively you can use docker image
docker run -itd -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 --name postgresql postgres
2. The run it:
brew services start postgresql
3. Create a default user:
createuser -s postgres
4. And expose the following environment variables:
export DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_DRIVER=org.postgresql.Driver
export DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
export DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_USERNAME=postgres
export DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres
for Windows execute the following in the terminal with admin privileges
```
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_DRIVER','org.postgresql.Driver', 'Machine')
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_URL','jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres', 'Machine')
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_USERNAME','postgres', 'Machine')
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('DIRIGIBLE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_PASSWORD','postgres', 'Machine')
```
5. Then you can run Dirigible with PostgreSQL default database (DefaultDB).
> If you have started the Dirigible before, make sure to execute `mvn clean` before starting the Dirigible with the PostgreSQL
