Datum Backstage

This repository contains Datum's Backstage developer portal and software catalog. The backend image is built and published to ghcr.io/datum-cloud/backstage.

It was generated with the official @backstage/create-app scaffolder and is a standard Backstage monorepo (packages/app for the frontend, packages/backend for the backend).

Running locally

yarn install
yarn dev

This serves the frontend and backend together for local development.

Building the image

The backend image is built using the host-build flow (see packages/backend/Dockerfile). CI in .github/workflows/build-image.yaml builds and pushes the image to ghcr.io/datum-cloud/backstage on pushes to main and on tags.

The catalog org-model (Users, Groups, Systems, Components, etc.) and the Kubernetes deploy manifests for this application live in the datum-cloud/infra repository, not here.
