Setup

Pail is a full stack NextJS application meaning only one web service needs to be run along with a PostgreSQL database. The easiest way to deploy is via Railway which will manage nearly all settings for you.

Manual Setup

1. Clone the project off of GitHub.
2. Install all dependencies by running

npm install -g yarn
yarn install

3. Install + setup PostgreSQL and set an environment variable DATABASE_URL_NON_POOLING to the full connection URL.
4. Also set a NEXTAUTH_SECRET in your .env file (this should be completely random).
5. Setup GitHub sign in via the tutorial here (opens in a new tab) (Set the GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET in your environment variables).
6. Optionally set the DOCKER_USERNAME and DOCKER_PASSWORD to pull images from the GitHub container registry.
7. Push the db schema and build the website by running yarn build.
