Everything you would expect

Getting started

Search through all files/folders and replace all instances of pocketbase-nextjs-template with your project name.
There is a bash script that does this for you:

• ./scripts/getting-started.sh

Just run it and follow the instructions.
To deploy your app, you can containerize it with the included Dockerfile(s) under ./build/package/pocketbase and ./ui.
Or simply execute the docker-compose file docker-compose.yaml to run the app locally.

Open Source

Trust me, I'm open source.
You can find the source code on Github.
The frontend is written in Next.js and the backend in GoLang (Pocketbase).

Frontend

The frontend is written in TypeScript and uses Next.js.
It uses Tailwind CSS for styling with Flowbite React as a design system.
There are also some self-written components in the components folder.
These are mostly inspired by the ui of Pocketbase.
Just use them as you like. They are similar to the Pocketbase UI Components.
