Development environment without Docker

This has been tested on Mac OS and works really well. If you are using Linux/Windows/WSL, you might need to install some additional dependencies.

  • Fork the repository

  • Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/<your-github-name>/captable.git
  • Copy .env.example to .env

    cp .env.example .env
  • Install latest version of node and pnpm

  • Install latest version of postgres database

  • Install mailpit for SMTP and email interception

  • Create database captable in postgres database

  • Update .env file's DATABASE_URL with database credentials

  • For a quick start, you can use Supabase database or Neon as well.

  • To simulate file storage locally, install minio via homebrew or any other package manager.

    brew install minio

    Once minio is installed run

    minio server start --console-address ":9002"

    This will start minio server
    minio api will be available on http://127.0.0.1:9000 and
    minio web gui will be available on http://127.0.0.1:9002.

    once you see these endpoint in terminal, update the following .env:

    UPLOAD_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:9000" # should match minio api server's endpoint
    NEXT_PUBLIC_UPLOAD_DOMAIN="http://127.0.0.1:9000" # should match minio api server's endpoint
    UPLOAD_REGION="us-east-1" # don't change it
    UPLOAD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="minioadmin" # by default minio username is "minioadmin"
    UPLOAD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="minioadmin" # by default minio password is "minioadmin"
    UPLOAD_BUCKET_PUBLIC="captable-public-bucket"
    UPLOAD_BUCKET_PRIVATE="captable-private-bucket"

    after this, go to minio web gui(http://127.0.0.1:9002) and login:
    username: minioadmin
    password: minioadmin

    and create two buckets with the name:
    captable-public-bucket and captable-private-bucket,
    this should match UPLOAD_BUCKET_PUBLIC and UPLOAD_BUCKET_PRIVATE env's values.

    and you should be done with minio setup.

    pnpm install
  • Run the following command to migrate and seed the database
