You can refer to [local-installation.md](./local-installation.md) to install the dependencies.

## Configure the environment

1. Fork the Firefish repository on GitLab
1. Clone your Firefish repository
    ```sh
    git clone https://firefish.dev/your-user-name/firefish.git
    cd firefish
    ```
1. Copy example config file
    ```sh
    cp dev/config.example.env dev/config.env
    # If you use container runtime other than Podman, you need to modify the "COMPOSE" variable
    # vim dev/config.env
    ```
1. Create `.config/default.yml` with the following content
    ```yaml
    # You can change the port if 3000 is already used
    url: http://localhost:3000
    port: 3000

    db:
      host: localhost
      port: 25432
      db: firefish_db
      user: firefish
      pass: password

    redis:
      host: localhost
      port: 26379

    logLevel: [
      'error',
      'success',
      'warning',
      'info'
    ]
    ```
1. Start database containers
    ```sh
    make db.up
    ```

## Build and start Firefish

1. Build Firefish
    ```sh
    pnpm install
    pnpm run build:debug
    ```
1. Execute database migrations
    ```sh
    pnpm run migrate
    ```
1. Start Firefish
    ```sh
    pnpm run start
    ```
    You can access to the local Firefish server on http://localhost:3000 after this message shows up!
    ```
    DONE *  [core boot]     All workers started
    DONE *  [core boot]     Now listening on port 3000 on http://localhost:3000
    ```

## Reset the environment

You can recreate a fresh local Firefish environment by recreating the database containers:

```sh
make db.init
pnpm run migrate
pnpm run start
```
