## installing & running

`bvg-rest` expects a [Redis](https://redis.io/) server running on `127.0.0.1:6379` (default port), but you can set the `REDIS_URL` environment variable to change this.

### via Docker

A Docker image [is available as `derhuerst/db-rest:5`](https://hub.docker.com/r/derhuerst/db-rest:5).

```shell
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 derhuerst/db-rest:5
```

*Note:* The Docker image does not contain the Redis server.

### manually

```shell
git clone https://github.com/derhuerst/db-rest.git
cd db-rest
git checkout 5
npm install --production

redis-server &
npm start
```

To keep the API running permanently, use tools like [`forever`](https://github.com/foreverjs/forever#forever) or [`systemd`](https://wiki.debian.org/systemd).
