First, install Docker Compose. Docker Compose is used to set the database and node.
Then, set up the database credentials by creating a file called .env in the project root directory with:
DB_USERNAME=username
DB_PASSWORD=password
Afterwards, create a file called app.env. This environment file is used for variables that the application code specifically. For example, the Facebook Login app ID, secrets, etc... This file should contain:
FB_APP_ID=<from https://developers.facebook.com/>
FB_APP_SECRET=<from https://developers.facebook.com/>
SESSION_SECRET=secretstringhere
Next, the TLS keys need to be set up for HTTPS to work. Create a directory named keys in the project root. This directory needs to contain two files:
key.pem: The private key file for a certificatecert.pem: The certificate I use mkcert to generate these files for development.
mkcert -install && mkcert -cert-file cert.pem -key-file key.pem
These .pem files should be created in your home directory.
Finally, start the application by running docker-compose up. By default, the app will be available at https://localhost:3000.
