| NODE_ENV (production/dev) | Whether we are running in development or production. Enables error logger and sets the domain to localhost in dev. |
| SESSION_SECRET | Secret used for keeping sessions. You should use a random generator for this. |
| WEBSITE_DOMAIN | Your website's domain, used for redirecting to steam. |
| PORT | The port your server listens on. |
| SSL (true/false) | Whether you want the server to use HTTPS, you will need this if you have your SSL mode to full (strict) in cloudflare. |
| SSL_CERT, SSL_KEY | The absolute path of your SSL certificate and key if you are using HTTPS. You can create these with openssl. |
| DATABASE (mysql/sqlite) | What type of database you have. |
| SQLITE_PATH | The path where your sv.db file is located for sqlite. |

- Build and run the project
npm run build
npm start
Or, if you're using VS Code, you can use cmd + shift + b to run the default build task (which is mapped to npm run build), and then you can use the command palette (cmd + shift + p) and select Tasks: Run Task > npm: start to run npm start for you.
Note on editors! - TypeScript has great support in every editor, but this project has been pre-configured for use with VS Code.
Finally, navigate to http://localhost:3000 and you should see the template being served and rendered locally!
To deploy the app to a web server, simply set it to production and add your own website domain.
IP addresses work too, but you should use a domain to be able to use Cloudflare's DDoS protection).
SSL is strongly recommended, you can combine Cloudflare's full (strict) HTTPS with a self signed certificate using openssl for full end-to-end encryption.
If you would like to use Docker, then create an .env file first like instructed above and then run the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
You'll be able to access the website by http://serveriphere:3000 or if you reverse proxy your domain to port 3000.
Type npm run debug in your terminal to perform a full build and then server the app in watch mode. npm run watch if you are not using static assets.
VS Code lets you easily run npm scripts from the editor
