Setup

Manual

Server

First, run npm install in the server directory. Then you can start the server by running node . in the server directory.

Database

You have to run a database like MySQL. Then configure a .env file in the server directory by following the .env.example file. If you are not using MySQL and a database called db, change this

  datasource db {
    provider = "mysql"
    url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
  }

in /server/prisma/schema.prisma. Then run npx prisma migrate dev and npx prisma generate in the server directory.

Docker

You can also just run docker-compose up in the main directory, if you have installed Docker.
