Getting Started

Pre-requisites

First, you need to have docker and docker-compose installed on your machine. Refer to the download page to get them.

Also you will need node and npm installed on your machine. Refer to the download page to get them. make sure you install the version specified in the .nvmrc file

Running the project locally

To run the development server, you have two options:

1. Use Docker only (recommended)

This is the recommended way to run the project locally. It will run the project in a container, and you will not need to install any dependencies on your machine. Docker set up the mongo db for you, and run the server in a locale container.

To run the project in docker, run the following command (this will take a few minutes the first time you run it):

npm run docker:dev

Then open your browser and go to http://localhost:5000.

2. Use Docker for the backend and run the frontend locally

In case you wanna run the frontend locally, and use docker only for the database, follow those steps:

1 - start the database containers:

npm run docker:dev:min

2 - install the dependencies:

npm install

3 - run the frontend:

npm run dev

Then open your browser and go to http://localhost:5000.

Testing the production build locally

To test the production build locally, run the following command:

npm run docker:prod

Then open your browser and go to http://localhost:5000.
