Run localy

After you have required tech stack above, feel free to run it like this.

npm install && \
npm run dev

Run inside Docker

# Run the db in background
docker-compose --env-file ./dev.env up -d db

# Run the app in foreground
docker-compose --env-file ./dev.env up app --build

# Run the app in background
docker-compose --env-file ./dev.env up -d app --build

Some tips

• --build arg is required when you need to install new package unless you install inside the container.

• You can connect to the running container via VSCode without installing NodeJS or any other dependencies on your machine. Just attach to the Periodum API container after running the container.
