Initializing the application

Setup DB restore 💿

1. Make an empty directory sqlfiles inside data folder which is in the repository root.
2. Place the database dump files now_test.sql, now_log_test.sql and now_view.sql inside it.
3. Notice, that the container will have to be able to read these files and execute data/restore_and_create_user.sql, so you may have to adjust the necessary rights depending on your operating system.

See technical explanations for how this works.

Init the project 🚀

Requirements: Some modern installation of Docker engine with Docker compose.

1. Copy the .env.template file named as .dev.env
2. npm run setup in project root to install all node modules and generate prisma-client.
3. If you wish to use the staging database, you need to copy the dump files into data/sqlfiles/ directory. See example of how anonymized test data is in test_data/sqlfiles/
4. npm run dev to run with the staging database or npm run start:anon to run with the anonymized small test-db included in the repository.
5. Check if it worked: The docker logs should have a line saying database connection works. Open localhost:5173 in browser to check if frontend works and shows data.
