recipe_app/README.md

This is an app I made to save recipes using the following components:

Frontend:

• React
• TypeScript

Backend:

• Node.js & Express
• PostgreSQL
• Prisma

Containerization:

• Docker

Styling/UI:

• Tailwind CSS

Infra/CI:

This Forgejo instance is hosted on a VPS running NixOS
The Forgejo Runner is hosted in a LXC container running on a local nix server
The runner builds the containers and pushes them to this Forgejo registry
In the frontend container I bundle the compiled src with Caddy to run as a standalone app
The exposed frontend port can then be served via reverse proxy

Run it yourself:

mkdir recipe_app && cd recipe_app
wget https://forgejo.fredzernia.com/fred/recipe_app/raw/branch/main/docker-compose.yaml
wget https://forgejo.fredzernia.com/fred/recipe_app/raw/branch/main/example.env
mv example.env .env # Change these values if you want
docker compose pull
docker compose up db -d
docker compose run backend npx prisma migrate deploy
docker compose up -d
