# Development Setup

## Using Docker Compose

Make sure you have the [git command-line tool](https://git-scm.com/) and [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed first, then run the following commands :

```
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/AstroPlant/community-platform

cd community-platform

# Start up both strapi and next
docker-compose up -d
```

Once it's finished you should be asked to create a strapi admin account on localhost:1337. Please create at least an article, a user and add the correct permissions by following the steps [here](https://astroplant.gitbook.io/community-platform/). Then you should be able to access the front end on your localhost:3000.

## Without Docker

### Back-End

#### 1. Set up environment variables

First, **generate a secure token.**

```
openssl rand 64 | base64 # (linux/macOS users)
# or
node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(64).toString('base64'))" # (all users)
```

Create an `env.local` file at the root of this folder with the following content :

```
ADMIN_JWT_SECRET=token_generated_above
```

#### 2. Setup a Postgres database

1. Install [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/).

Please follow the steps presented on the [PostgreSQL website](https://www.postgresql.org/) to install Postgres.

    2\. Create a database & a user

```
# Activating PSQL
psql postgres

# Create the strapi db
CREATE DATABASE strapi;

# Create a user
CREATE ROLE strapi WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'strapi' CREATEDB;

# Grant all priviledge to the strapi user
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE strapi TO strapi;
```

#### 3. Install Strapi

From then you should be able to install and launch our strapi app with the following commands :

```
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/AstroPlant/community-platform

cd community-platform/api

# install strapi dependencies
npm install

# Start up strapi
npm run develop
```

When Strapi is installed you should be asked to create a Strapi admin account on your `localhost:1337`.

### Front-End

**Create env files**

Create an `env.local` file at the root of the project with the following content :

```
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRAPI_PUBLIC_URL="http://localhost:1337"
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRAPI_CLUSTER_URL="http://localhost:1337"
```

**Install the package**

Run the following commands :

```
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/AstroPlant/community-platform

cd community-platform/api

# install strapi dependencies
npm install

# Start up strapi
npm run develop
```

When strapi is installed you should be asked to create a strapi admin account on your localhost:1337.

Then you should be able to install and boot next on localhost:3000.

```
cd ..

# install next dependencies
npm install

# Start up strapi
npm run dev
```
