🌎 Calckey Developer Docs

Nix Dev Environment

The Calckey repo comes with a Nix-based shell environment to help make development as easy as possible!

Please note, however, that this environment will not work on Windows outside of a WSL2 environment.

Prerequisites

Once the repo is cloned to your computer, follow these next few steps inside the Calckey folder:

  • Run direnv allow. This will build the environment and install all needed tools.
  • Run install-deps, then prepare-config, to install the node dependencies and prepare the needed config files.
  • In a second terminal, run devenv up. This will spawn a Redis server, a Postgres server, and the Calckey server in dev mode.
  • Once you see the Calckey banner printed in your second terminal, run migrate in the first.
  • Once migrations finish, open http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
  • You should now see the admin user creation screen!

Note: When you want to restart a dev server, all you need to do is run devenv up, no other steps are necessary.
