Use sg CLI tool to configure and start local development server. For more information checkout sg README.

Environment variables important for the web server:

1. WEBPACK_SERVE_INDEX should be set to true to enable HTMLWebpackPlugin.
2. SOURCEGRAPH_API_URL is used as a proxied API url. By default it points to the https://k8s.sgdev.org.

It's possible to overwrite these variables by creating sg.config.overwrite.yaml in the root folder and adjusting the env section of the relevant command.

sg run web-standalone

For enterprise version:

sg run enterprise-web-standalone

sg run web-standalone-prod

For enterprise version:

sg run enterprise-web-standalone-prod

Web app should be available at http://${SOURCEGRAPH_HTTPS_DOMAIN}:${SOURCEGRAPH_HTTPS_PORT}. Build artifacts will be served from <rootRepoPath>/ui/assets.

In both environments, server proxies API requests to SOURCEGRAPH_API_URL provided as the .env variable. To avoid the CSRF token is invalid error CSRF token is retrieved from the SOURCEGRAPH_API_URL before the server starts. Then this value is used for every subsequent request to the API.
