Getting Started 💻

These instructions will help you get a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites 🔧

• Node.js
• pnpm
• make
• Go

Installing 💾

⚠️ Darcy is just a hobby project and should not be used in production.

⚠️ If you want to use it in production, you should integrate it with a object storage service.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/darcyinc/darcy-backend.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd darcy-backend

3. Install the dependencies:

pnpm install

4. Rename the .env.example file to .env and fill in the environment variables.

5. Generate the Prisma client:

pnpm prisma generate

6. (Optional) Migrate your database:

pnpm prisma migrate dev

or

pnpm prisma migrate deploy

Building the Project 🏗️

Use the following command to build the project:

pnpm build

Running the Project 🏃‍♂️

Use the following command to start the project in development mode (all microservices):

make start-dev

Use the following command to start the project in production mode (a screen will be created for each microservice, Linux only):

make start-prod

⚠️ Note: only the api and the cdn applications are exposed to the internet. By default, the api application runs on port 4000 and the cdn application runs on port 2006.

⚠️ Do not expose the microservices to the internet (they don't have some validations), so try to keep everything local.
