Hack as a Service API

Running locally

1. Install Docker and Docker Compose.
2. Run docker-compose up -d to start up your development instance.
3. Run docker-compose exec main diesel migration run to update the database (you only need to run this once, unless you modify the database schema)
4. Visit http://localhost:3000

Other commands:

• docker-compose logs -f main streams logs from the Rocket app
• docker-compose exec db psql -U postgres opens a shell into the PostgreSQL database
• docker-compose stop stops the dev environment

Using the frontend

After starting the frontend, the frontend is now available at http://localhost:3000. If the backend is running, http://localhost:3000/api will proxy to it. Point your browser to http://localhost:3000/api/dev/login, which should create a test user and log you in.
