The backend runs in Docker and uses Poetry to manage dependencies.

Install the following systems before starting

• Poetry: follow the instructions here
• Docker if you don't already have it

Now to start the system:

• poetry install -- install dependencies locally
• docker compose build -- Build the docker image for the web server
• docker compose up -- Start the web server

And for development:

• pre-commit install -- Install the pre-commit hooks
• poetry shell -- Start the poetry shell

The frontend uses TailwindCSS, which watches for changes in Django templates and automatically recompiles the CSS.

To start the CSS watcher:

• make watch-css

To have the files served by Django, you need to create a symlink to the relevant files from the static folder. Note this setup is in no way production safe, and should be replaced by proper static files serving as per Django's documentation.

1. cd static
2. ln -s ../frontend/build.css build.css
3. ln -s ../frontend/node_modules/flowbite/dist/flowbite.min.js flowbite.js

• See the Makefile for other commands, such as make test to run the tests.
