Installation

1. Install the dependencies with npm ci in packages/client and packages/server.
2. In packages/clientm run command cp .env.example .env. Edit to have production database info if needed.

Docker 🐋 (Recommended)

3. From the root directory, run make dev.
4. Visit http://localhost:4200.

Custom ports

If you have other projects running, make sure no ports are used. If needed, you can provide different ports to Docker.

Variable	Default
NGINX_PORT	80
SERVER_PORT	3000
CLIENT_PORT	4200
MONGO_EXPRESS_PORT	8081
PG_PORT	5432

You can use them by adding them to the .env file in the root. For example, running echo "CLIENT_PORT=8080" >> .env will make the client start on the port 8080. These changes are not watched by git, so it will only affect you. (Note : the server port is hardcoded in the client code, changing it will most likely make the app crash). -->

Changing postgres port

Changing postgres port is a little more tricky because we use scripts outside Docker for DB modifications. It might not be necessary, but it is better practice. After adding the PG_PORT in the .env file in the root, you will need to add the port to the server also. To do that, run echo "PG_DEV_PORT=50432" >> .env in packages/server (50432 is an example, it can be whatever you want).

Without Docker

3. Go to packages/server
   1. Run cp .env.dev .env (you only have to do this once)
4. Start the processes with npm start in packages/client and packages/server.
