The application can be run locally by running a docker compose up -d command from the local folder. This will build the frontend, backend and db_migrate containers from source as well as deploy a PostgreSQL database container and a localstack container to simulate the bucket. Once the containers are up and running point your browser to http://localhost to access the application.
The only differences between the docker-compose.yml file used for local development and that used in production are disabling sslmode in the db_migrate container and the following environment variables used in the backend container:
backend:
...
environment: # Only needed for local development
- DB_SSL_MODE=disable # SSL connection to the database disabled for local development
- FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true # Forces bucket path to adhere to the following format http://localhost:4572/{bucket_name}
