Local Development

Create the local development environment file.

Note: You can change the connection string in the .env.development.local file to point to a different database, you will also want to change it in the start-database.sh script.

Create a payload secret, perhaps using openssl rand -base64 32 and set that value in the .env.development.local file.

Get a TMBD API key and add it to the .env.development.local file. You will need an account on TMDB. It's all free.
