_{// Project Overview}

Zephyr is a Social aggregator, part social media platform, part news aggregator. It is a platform that allows users to share and discover content from around the web. Completly open-source and community-driven, Zephyr is a platform that is built by the community, for the community.

_{// Local Development Setup}

_{// Prerequisites}

• Node.js (v20 or higher)
• pnpm (Package manager)
• Docker (For development environment)
• Git (Version control)

_{// Installation}

We use pnpm and turbo for managing the dependencies and the monorepo structutre. To install the dependencies and start the development server, run the following commands:

Important

Use the format in .env.example file to create a .env file in the root directory. dev-server is a script that runs the development server for postgres, redis, minio and creates a temp .env to start with.

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zephyr.git && cd zephyr

# 2. Install the dependencies
pnpm install

# 3. First time setup or after clean
pnpm run dev:server

# Subsequent starts
pnpm run docker:start

# Clean everything and start fresh
pnpm run docker:clean:dev && pnpm run dev:server

# 4. Set `.env` variables form `.env.example` file (optional if you want auth and other services)
cp .env.example .env # Unix/Linux/Mac
copy .env.example .env # Windows
# Read the `.env.example` file for more information

# 5.Start development server
pnpm run dev:start

# OR Manually
pnpm turbo dev

_{// Ports:}

• Next.js: http://localhost:3000
• PostgreSQL: localhost:5433
• Redis: localhost:6379
• MinIO Console: http://localhost:9001

_{// Troubleshooting Common Issues}

_{// Prisma}

• If you encounter any issues with Prisma, try running the following commands:

cd packages/db
pnpm prisma generate
pnpm prisma db push

_{// Minio}

• If you encounter any issues with Minio, create bucket manually:

Access MinIO Console at http://localhost:9001
Login with default credentials:
Username: minioadmin
Password: minioadmin
