Please note that all services must be running for the app to work properly.

Prerequisites

At least 1GB RAM dedicated only for the app
5GB For the main app (excluding files uploaded by the users)
Node.js 18.12.1
UNIX based system (Mac, Linux or WSL)
MongoDB Server
Redis Server

Website

First we need to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Zappit-App/website.git

Our app already comes with an example .env file, you only need to duplicate it and name it .env.local, and you will need to change the values accordingly.
Run the following command to create the directory for the user uploaded media: (Temporal, since a media management microservice is being created)

mkdir -p data/avatars

Then you can run the server using the following command:

npm run start

This will automatically build the client and server side for you, after that the server will start using the environment variables you declared.

Chat

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Zappit-App/chat.git

As before, we need to set out environment variables, the repository comes with an example .env file to create your own
Run the server

npm run start
