It is recommended you head over to the more detailed documentation to find out how to set up Chartbrew

📚 You can find it here

Chartbrew can run on MySQL or PostgreSQL. Create an empty database that Chartbrew can use.

git clone https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew.git
cd chartbrew && npm run setup

Complete the required environmental variables in chartbrew/.env. Check out which need to be set here.

Open two terminals, one for front-end and the other for back-end.

# frontend
cd client/
npm run start

# backend
cd server/
npm run start-dev

Head over to https://localhost:4018 to see the app running and create your first user account.

A Chartbrew docker image is built whenever a new version is released.

Before running the commands below, make sure you have a MySQL server already running and an empty database that Chartbrew can use. The database name should match the value of the CB_DB_NAME variable.

You will need a 32 bytes AES encryption key for the CB_ENCRYPTION_KEY variable. Run the following command to generate one:

node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"

docker pull razvanilin/chartbrew

docker run -p 4019:4019 -p 4018:4018 \
  -e CB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_32_bytes_key \
  -e CB_API_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e CB_API_PORT=4019 \
  -e CB_DB_HOST=host.docker.internal \
  -e CB_DB_PORT=3306 \
  -e CB_DB_NAME=chartbrew \
  -e CB_DB_USERNAME=root \
  -e CB_DB_PASSWORD=password \
  -e VITE_APP_CLIENT_HOST=https://localhost:4018 \
  -e VITE_APP_CLIENT_PORT=4018 \
  -e VITE_APP_API_HOST=https://localhost:4019 \
