Setup

At the moment, the setup is a bit time-consuming. I will improve the setup in the future.

1. Appwrite

Pingvin Share uses Appwrite as backend. You have to install and setup Appwrite first

1. Install Appwrite
2. Create an Account on your Appwrite instance
3. Change the _APP_STORAGE_LIMIT variable in the .env file of Appwrite to your prefered max size limit per share

2. Setup script

To setup the backend structure of Pingvin Share you have to run the setup script.

1. Install Node
2. Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/stonith404/pingvin-share
3. Visit the repository directory with cd pingvin-share
4. Run npm run init:appwrite

3. Frontend

To set up the frontend of Pingvin Share follow these steps.

1. Go to your Appwrite console, visit "API Keys" and copy the "Functions API Key" secret to your clipboard.
2. Rename the .env.example file to .env
3. Paste the key in the .env file
4. Change APPWRITE_HOST in the .env file to the host where your Appwrite instance runs
5. Change NEXT_PUBLIC_MAX_FILE_SIZE in the .env file to the max file size limit you want

Start the frontend:

With docker:

1. Run docker-compose up -d --build

Without docker:

1. Run npm install
2. Run npm run build && npm run start
