The Stoplight Hub Builder

The Hub Builder component converts a Stoplight Hub into a standalone static HTML website, suitable for viewing and distribution.

Networking Details

The Hub Builder does not have a listening service or external port configurations.

Component Dependencies

The Hub Builder is started in an ad-hoc manner by Tasker, and does not have any component dependencies.

Installation

The Stoplight Hub Builder can be installed with Docker or via RPM package.

RPM Package

Prior to installing the RPM package, you will need to:

  • Install NodeJS

  • Have the Stoplight package repository installed and configured with your user-specific credentials

Installing NodeJS

To install NodeJS, run the following commands:

# make sure all current versions of nodejs are removed
sudo yum remove nodejs npm -y

# install nodejs
sudo rpm -Uvh https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_8.x/el/7/x86_64/nodejs-8.9.4-1nodesource.x86_64.rpm

Once the installation has completed, verify the version installed with the command:

$ node --version
v8.9.4

If you do not see a version starting v8.9, contact Stoplight support for assistance.

Setting up the Package Repository

You can do this by copying-and-pasting the contents below into a terminal:

# expose credentials to environment first
REPO_USERNAME="myusername"
REPO_PASSWORD="mypassword"

# write credentials to repo file
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/stoplight.repo
[stoplight]
name=Stoplight Package Repository
baseurl=https://$REPO_USERNAME:$REPO_PASSWORD@pkg.stoplight.io/rpm
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://pkg.stoplight.io/stoplight.key
EOF

Make sure that the repository credentials are set before issuing the cat command above.

Installing the Hub Builder Package

Once the repository is configured properly, you can install the Hub Builder component using the command:

sudo yum install stoplight-hub-builder -y

Docker

To install the Hub Builder component with Docker, run the command below:

docker pull quay.io/stoplight/hub-builder

Note, if you have not already authenticated with the Stoplight container registry, you will be prompted for credentials
