42 Exp

Greetings!

This is the primary codebase that powers 42exp.com. Each folder has its own readme file which explains how everything works.

Quickstart

Installation

There are two ways to start 42exp.com locally.

1. Docker

• clone the repo
• create a .env file similar to .env-example
• run make development

2. Non-Docker

• Clone the repo
• Run npm install
• create a .env file similar to .env-example.
  • NOTE : database url will be different when not using docker.
  • Database url is of the format postgres://username:password@postgres:5432/42EXP
  • Ensure that postgres already has a 42EXP table.
• run webpack --watch --progress in another terminal to ensure static files are watched and updated.
• run npm start
