Note

This is the temporary repository for Briefkasten V2. I will move this code to the original ndom91/briefkasten repository as we get closer to GA release. However, if you'd like to help out, don't hesitate to file issues here, etc. For more info, check out this discussion post.

🚀 Getting Started

This is setup as a monorepo with (1) apps/web being a SvelteKit web application and (2) apps/backend being a Hono-based API. There are npm scripts in the root package.json to control most things.

1. Clone the repository

$ git clone [e-mail]:ndom91/sveltekasten.git && cd sveltekasten

2. Install dependencies

$ pnpm install

This will install the dependencies for both apps.

3. Both web and backend need separate .env files. Copy both /apps/{web,backend}/.env.example files to .env, and open them with your favorite text editor to fill in your environment variables.

$ cd apps/web && cp .env.example .env
$ cd apps/backend && cp .env.example .env

In these environment variable files, make sure to at least fill in the DATABASE_URL, AUTH_SECRET, JWT_SECRET, WORKER_URL and one Auth.js authentication provider, so for example AUTH_GITHUB_ID, AUTH_GITHUB_SECRET. The rest of the environment variables depend on the services / features you want to use.

4. Start the server!

// First time only; apply the schema to your database
$ pnpm db:push

// dev
$ pnpm dev

// prod
$ pnpm build
$ pnpm start

🐋 Docker

You can run the entire stack yourself via Docker, there are multiple variants depending on if you want to self-host everything or want to rely on some cloud services.

• docker-compose.yml - Containers for the frontend and backend components of the application
• docker-compose.storage.yml - Additional postgres and minio containers for a database and object storage. You can skip this container if you want to use a hosted database provider and an S3-compatible object storage provider, for example.

1. Run web and backend in the background

docker compose up -d

2. Run web and backend and additional database and object storage containers

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.storage.yml up -d

3. Run web and backend containers with local code mounted in for development

docker compose -f docker-compose.local-dev.yml up -d
