This is the repository for the Sovereign University website, a project by Découvre Bitcoin and the community. The goal of this project is to create a free, open-source, and community-driven university to learn about Bitcoin.
The repository holding the data for this project is here.
We are looking for contributors! If you want to help or learn more about the project, please reach out to us on Twitter or Matrix.
We use Nx to manage the monorepo and Docker to run the development environment.
To start the development environment, run docker compose -f dev/compose.yml up --build -V -d. This will start all the necessary containers.
On the first run, you will need to run the migrations. To do so, run pnpm nx run database:migrations:run. If at any moment you need to rerun the migrations (for example, if you change the database schema), you can run the same command adding the --drop flag to drop the database before running the migrations.
NB: You may need to build all the packages the very first time you run the project. To do so, run pnpm nx run-many --target=build.
Once the containers are up and running, you can access the front at http://localhost:5555. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
In order to sync the database with the data from the data repository, you can make a request to the API with curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/github/sync (until we have a proper Nx command for that). This will import all the data from the data repository into the database. Note that for some unknown reason, it may fail with a git error. If that happens, just run the command again. Just haven't had the time to investigate why it happens.
