Requirements

• Docker Engine (with Compose v2)

Setup

1. Copy the provided .env file (already checked in). Adjust if needed:

   POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgrespass123
   JWT_SECRET=supersecretjwtkey
   ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
   ADMIN_PASSWORD=AdminPass!234
   JWT_COOKIE_SECURE=false
   ENABLE_HTTPS_REDIRECT=false
   WEB_PORT=3000
   CSRF_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=http://192.168.68.61:3000
   

   • Change JWT_SECRET and ADMIN_PASSWORD before production use.
   • Keep JWT_COOKIE_SECURE=false and ENABLE_HTTPS_REDIRECT=false unless you run behind HTTPS.
   • Update CSRF_ALLOWED_ORIGINS local network ip/port you will use to host the application on.

2. Start the stack:

   docker compose up -d --build
   

3. Open the web app at http://<this-machine-ip>:3000 using the admin credentials (ADMIN_USERNAME, ADMIN_PASSWORD).

4. Stop the stack:

   docker compose down
   

   To wipe Postgres data (e.g., after upgrading versions), also remove the volume:

   docker volume rm vbytes_postgres-data
   

That’s it—the Compose file starts Postgres, the Rust API, and the SvelteKit frontend using the values from .env.
