Project start

Start in development mode

To start in development mode, you need to have local PostgreSQL database installed. Create .env file in ./backend folder and specify DATABASE_URL and FRONTEND_URL variables there:

cd backend
touch .env

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://<USERNAME>:<PASWORD>@<HOST>:5432/postgres
FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:5173

Apply database migrations:

npm run db:push

Seed database:

npm run db:seed

Start backend:

npm run start:dev

Navigate to frontend folder and start frontend application:

npm run dev

UI should be now accessible through http://localhost:5173

Start in Docker

When starting in docker, you don't need to have local PostgreSQL database — it'll start in a separate container with docker-compose.

Navigate to docker folder and run:

docker-compose up
