Train Ticker

Minimal setup to run the site locally.

Install

mise install
mise run install
cp .env.example .env.local

Environment

Add the values you need in .env.local.

• DARWIN_RDM_PROXY_URL and DARWIN_RDM_CONSUMER_KEY enable live National Rail departures.
• DARWIN_RDM_AUTH_TYPE=api-key is the default Rail Data Marketplace proxy mode.
• NEXT_PUBLIC_POLL_INTERVAL_MS controls board refresh cadence in milliseconds and defaults to 60000.
• HARD_CODED_ALERTS toggles a hardcoded alert banner message at the top of the app when set to true.
• MAPTILER_API_KEY enables the UK map background.
• REDIS_URL enables public API rate limiting through Vercel Redis.
• RATE_LIMIT_SEARCHES_PER_MINUTE controls search requests per IP and defaults to 30.
• RATE_LIMIT_JOURNEYS_PER_MINUTE controls live journey refreshes per IP and defaults to 10.

The site still starts without Darwin credentials. National Rail cards stay unconfigured until Darwin is set. Production API routes require Redis credentials for rate limiting.
