Wedding Website — documentation

Everything technical about this project lives here. The README is the short version, with the screenshots.

Setting it up

• Installation — Portainer, plain Docker Compose, or running it locally.
• Deployment — Pushing to main is the deploy — and what to do when Portainer's button returns a 500.
• The Demo Instance — A fictional wedding anyone can poke at, on an instance that cannot be changed. One is live at weddingwebsitedemo.com.

Using the admin panel

• Guests and RSVPs — The guest list, bulk editing, the mailing-list export, CSV format, the RSVP flow, the couple and the vendors.
• Seating and the Export — The chart's two views, the couple, vendors, and the sheet you hand the caterer.
• Registry — The honeymoon fund and the Target/Amazon product registry.
• Finances — Budget lines, payers, contributors, receipts and the payment schedule.
• Honeymoon Portal — The private trip planner: map, itinerary, travel, places, stays, excursions, guide.
• Content and Settings — Nav cards, countdown modes, and the work-in-progress toggles.

How it works

• Features — The exhaustive feature list, public site and admin panel.
• Architecture — Where data lives, the database tables, and the stack it is built on.
• Versions and the Changelog — How versions work, the entry format, and the in-app viewer.
• Development — Local setup, the check scripts and the seeds.
• Troubleshooting — Things that have gone wrong before, and what fixed them.
