How do I get this set up on my system?

You would need to have docker installed in your system to run this. Install Docker desktop

Backend setup

• run cp .env.template .env - that will create a .env file
• run docker-compose up - this will build the docker containers (if they are not there) and start the containers
• run docker-compose up -d - if you don't want to keep the docker logs running after docker-compose up
• the backend will run on localhost:8000
• docker-compose logs -f service-name-here - to see the logs, service-name = backend | postgres | ...

Frontend setup

• run cd frontend
• run pnpm i
• run pnpm dev - to run the dev server
• run pnpm build - to build the frontend

Note: Frontend can also be built by docker-compose up frontend. This will create a dist directory inside frontend folder.

The frontend dist folder is getting served by django

To stop the server run docker-compose down
