Quickstart?

[basemaly]

Hello. This looks like a really impressive tool. Thank you for creating it. I'd like to demo the code for a few colleagues. What's the fastest way to setup the code on a local machine? Does the machine need to be a fully-running web server, or can I demo it on my local computer? What steps should I follow to launch it?

You would need to setup Postgres 15 and a KeyDB 6.3.2 cluster and write their info to a ".env" file to be able to self-host the app.
I added a "template.env" file to the root folder to help with writing this ".env" file.

I have no idea how to improve this and would appreciate some help.
Do people create Docker containers within Docker containers for self-hosting? That's where my mind goes to.

I think there are still some details I have to work on to allow this, like removing email verification when self-hosting so you don't need to create a MailJet account.
Right now I'm doing some heavy changes to the backend in the backend-overhaul branch, after that I'll be able to look more into it.

I made a little diagram to make it more clear, but it's basically what I said above: https://deepnotes.app/pages/GMqz_dgHeaDd4_eABGuyp

Usually when multiple Docker containers are involved, they are combined with Docker Compose.

@almereyda Thank you, I'll take a look.

I added some instructions on the README for local development.
