An easy-to-use system to create portfolios for your projects.

So yea, this is a thing

How to host yourself

To host, run the installation commands in console

npm i

Now its hosted on https://localhost:3000

You have set up the frontend part just using those commands, hooray! But you still need to set up the backend

Step 1

Download an apache + mysql server host. I preferably use xampp which has a configurable apache and mysql server dashboard which is easy to set up

Step 2

All following steps are based on xampp

Launch both the apache server and the mysql server

Once it looks like the image above, go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/and upload the database.sql file from the main directory

Step 3

Press the User Accounts button in the topbar and locate root localhost and press Edit privileges

Step 4

Click "change password" and designate the root account a password

After you've changed the password, go back to xampp and click Apache > Config > phpMyAdmin (config.inc.php) and change this line

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'yourNewPassword';

Step 5

In the project files, rename the .env.dist to .env and edit the values below

dbPassword=""
secret=""
cookieSecret=""

apininjas=""

API NINJAS - YOU MUST HAVE A VALID API KEY

Congrats, you've successfully set up the backend and you now have a fully set up server.

Now, run the startup command below to start your server

npm start

Honestly idk how they work, so go figure it out for me
