Build it yourself

The recommended way of running this project is by installing Docker Desktop. With Docker up and running, follow these steps:

Client application (NextJS Frontend)

Copy and modify (if necessary) the environment variables file.

cp client/.env.example client/.env.development.local

After that, bring up the client container by running:

docker compose -f client/docker-compose.yml --profile dev up -d

Server application (ASP.Net Core Backend + SQL Server):

For the server container, there is no environment file to be set, you can just run it with:

docker compose -f server/docker-compose.yml --profile dev up -d

Migrations will be applied automatically when the server container is ran in development mode.

With both compose projects launched, you can view the application at:

NextJS Frontend: http://localhost:8080

ASP.Net Core Backend API endpoints: http://localhost:8081/api/v1/

Swagger endpoint (Development mode only): http://localhost:8081

Detailed information for each project can be viewed at their own subdirectory.

Have a good adventure! ⛵☀️
