Bun/Node Setup

Clone repository

git clone https://git.pontusmail.org/abocn/blogpop.git
cd blogpop

Install dependencies and copy files

Frontend:

npm install # npm
bun install # or bun

Backend:

cd server/
npm install # bun is not suggested

Copy example .env:

cd .. # if you are currently in the server/ directory
cp .env.example .env
nano .env # edit if you desire

Setup backend

Next, you must perform the initial setup of the database, which can be done with our easy setup tool. To start, ensure you cd into the server/ folder.

Then, simply execute the below command and follow the prompts:
```
node setup.js # bun is not suggested
```
Start server

Starting a dev server with Node or Bun requires two terminals. One will output the log files for the backend, and the other will output the log files for the frontend.

Start a dev server:
```
bun dev # Terminal 1
cd server/ # Terminal 2
bun index.js # Terminal 2
```
OR
```
npm run dev # Terminal 1
cd server/ # Terminal 2
node index.js # Terminal 2
```
Whichever option you selected, your frontend will be served on port 3000 by default, though you can change that in your .env file. The API will be accessible on 3001.

Start production server:

Starting a production server with Node or Bun will also require two terminals. One will output the log files for the backend, and the other will output the log files for the frontend.
```
bun run build # Terminal 1
bun start # Terminal 1
cd server/ # Terminal 2
node index.js # Terminal 2
```
OR
```
bun run build # Terminal 1
bun start # Terminal 1
cd server/ # Terminal 2
node index.js # Terminal 2
```
Whichever option you selected, your frontend will be served on port 3000 by default, though you can change that in your .env file. The API will be accessible on 3001.
