• Make sure you have JDK 21 installed
• Run ./gradlew :server:runDebugExecutableMacosArm64 -PrunArgs="--config-path=path/to/server/src/commonMain/resources/application.yaml" to build and run the server, remember to replace path/to/server/src/commonMain/resources/application.yaml with the path to your config file

Docker

If you prefer using Docker, you can use Docker Compose to run prebuild Server Image.

• Rename .env.sample to .env, and update the environment variables in the file.
• If you're deploying into a production server, you might need to update the docker-compose.yml file with these lines:

  environment:
  -   # STAGE: local
  +   STAGE: 'production'
  -   DOMAINS: api.flareapp.moe -> http://flare-backend:8080
