Installation with Docker Compose

We've taken care to make the installation and launch process as convenient as possible, so you can focus on using DRY_KISS PAL to organize your contacts, notes, and files effortlessly.

To take advantage of DRY_KISS PAL's capabilities with Docker Compose, first make sure you have Docker installed and the Docker daemon running on your system. Install Docker if it is not already installed. Instructions for installing Docker can be found on the official Docker website. Make sure the Docker daemon is running on your system. Once Docker is installed and the daemon is running you are ready to use our application.

To install and run DRY_KISS PAL using Docker Compose, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/the10or/personal-assistant-web.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd personal assistant
3. Be sure to create an .env file based on the provided .env.example file. You will also need to add a security key in JSON format to access Google Cloud services. Place these files in the root folder of the project, i.e. personal_assistant.
4. Run the application using Docker Compose with the --build flag for the first run to ensure that the application is built seamlessly: docker-compose up --build.
   Note that for your convenience, all dependencies will be installed automatically and migrations will be applied during the Docker Compose build process. Subsequent runs can be performed without the --build flag.
