Development Instructions

Frontend

The frontend is a React app, and can be deployed in many ways. joincomet.app is using GitHub Pages in this repo, but another good option is Cloudflare Pages

Build frontend:

• yarn run build:web

Environment variables:

• VITE_API_DOMAIN (domain server is running on i.e. api.joincomet.app)

• ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET (required, secret used for encrypting passwords)
• REDIS_URL (optional, in-memory will be used if not provided)
