Usage:

Instead of cloning this project, click "Use this template". This will allow you to create a repo on github which has this project's content but which is not a fork of it.

Make sure you create the repo as being owned by your own account not by the WeAreAcademy organisation.

Install

yarn

DB Setup

Copy .env.example to .env and set DATABASE_URL, LOCAL_DATABASE_URL and PORT to your liking.

e.g.

DATABASE_URL=postgres://someuser:somebigsecretpassword@somedbhost/pastebin
LOCAL_DATABASE_URL=postgres://neill@localhost/pastebin
PORT=4000

You will need to create your own databases for this project - certainly one remotely and ideally one locally, too, for development and testing.

Hosts for postgres with a free offering include:

• https://render.com
• https://www.elephantsql.com/
• https://supabase.com/

Running locally

yarn start:dev

The env var LOCAL_DATABASE_URL will be consulted.

Running locally against a remote db

yarn start:dev-with-remote-db

The env var DATABASE_URL will be consulted.

Deploying to render.com

To deploy to render.com:

• build command should be yarn && yarn build

Running on render.com

After deployment, render.com should be set up to run either yarn start or node dist/server.js

The env var DATABASE_URL will be consulted and so must be set on render.com prior to application start.
