First Run

Copy the environment files:

cp .env.example .env
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env

For the first run, the root .env already contains:

RUN_MIGRATIONS=true

With this setting, the backend will generate the application key, run migrations, and seed the basic reference data on startup.

After the first successful run, you can switch it back to:

RUN_MIGRATIONS=false

This prevents the project key from being regenerated on the next container starts.

Launch

Build and start the containers:

docker compose up -d --build

The application will be available at:
