• File storage on local filesystem
• PostgreSQL database integration (Docker-based)
• Search functionality across all fields
• Modern Bootstrap UI

• Python 3.8+

• Virtual environment (recommended)

1. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start PostgreSQL using Docker:

docker compose up -d

4. Run migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

5. Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver

6. Visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser

1. Upload Documents:

• Click "Upload" in the navigation

• Stop the database: docker compose down
• View logs: docker compose logs db

The PostgreSQL database will be accessible:

• Host: localhost
• Port: 5432
