+
+> **A private personal ERP to organize my life, built with modern tech stack and enterprise-grade infrastructure.**
+> 
+> 🌐 Live Production: [core-life.arjunaa.my.id](https://core-life.arjunaa.my.id)
+
+## 📖 About The Project
+
+**Core Life** is a personal ERP that I build for myself (now for public) to manage day by day activity, like manage your academic, financial, and more to come 
+
+This project is not just a basic CRUD app, but this project act as my playground to show how I implement **FullStack**, **DevOps**, **Security**, **Infrastructure (Self-Host)**, and **automation** that simulate industry standard in a smaller scale.
+
+## ✨ Key Features
+
+* 🔐 **Secure Authentication**: Implementation of JWT Auth in the middleware
+* ⚡ **High Performance**: Backend written in **Golang** to decrease latency and for high performance
+* 📱 **Responsive UI**: Frontend **React** that is responsive for desktop & mobile
+* 📚 **Academic Module**: Manage your classes, assignment, and your GPA
+* 💵 **Financial Module**: Manage your money based on your needs, wants, save, dan invest.
+* 🔜 **More Modules to Come**
+
+## 🛠️ Tech-Stack
+
+| Frontend | Backend | Database | Devops | Infrastructure |
+| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| React | Golang | Postgres | Docker | Ubuntu server |
+| Tailwind | Gin |  | Github Action | Cloudflare tunnel |
+
+## 🏗️ Infrastructure & Architecture
+
+This project is being hosted on my own **Home Server (Used Laptop)**.
+
+### 🔄 CI/CD Pipeline
+Every code that has pas the review will automatically be added to the repo by **GitHub Actions**:
+1.  **Branch `dev`**: Auto-deploy to the **Development** environment (Port 8081/3001).
+2.  **Branch `main`**: Auto-deploy to the **Production** environment  (Port 8080/3000).
+
+### 🛡️ Network & Security
+* **Cloudflare Tunnel**: Expose production to the public without port forwarding
+* **Tailscale**: Private access to development environtment that I use.
+* **CORS Policy**: Strict policy to separate API between dev and prod environtment

+
+## 🌱 Getting Started (Local Development)
+
+### 1. Git clone the project
+
+Clone the project to open it locally
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Arjuna-Ragil/Project-CL.git
+cd Project-CL
+```
+
+### 2. Create an .env in the root folder
+
+Base config to start running the project
+```env
+# Database config (change as needed)
+DB_HOST=localhost
+DB_USER=postgres
+DB_PASSWORD=secret
+DB_NAME=cl_local_db
+DB_PORT=5432
+
+# Backend config
+SECRET_KEY=Secret_key_that_you_can_change
+AUTH_MODE=false (enable/disable auth middleware)
+```
+
+### 3. Create an .env.local in the FE folder
+
+Env to enable communication between FE and BE 
+```env
+VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/api (change to correspond your backend)
+```
+
+### 4. Run in docker
+
+There are two choice on how to run the project:
+```docker
+# Only build the database, run the FE & BE separately (Recommended)
+docker compose up -d --build db
+
+# Build everything from docker
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+### 5. Access web
+
+* FE: [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173/)
+* BE: [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080/)
+
+## 🤝 Contribution
+This project is private, but I'm open to talk and discuss about Home Lab Architecture and Devops. Feel free to reach out!
