Initialize Prisma

If you are running this for the first time, you need follow the instructions in editor-server/README.md to initialize prisma.

echo "I know you only want to copy and paste commands, but please read the instructions in editor-server/README.md"

Start database

You need to have postgresql and redis running for the backend to work.

docker compose -f dev.docker-compose.yml up -d

Run all services

There are the services you'll need to run if you are developing editor-server. You need to start all of them manually. Run these commands in different terminals respectively, in the order shown below:

pnpm dev:file-server
pnpm dev:editor-server
pnpm dev:editor

If you are developing the command center, you may also need to run:

pnpm dev:controller-server

Run all services in parallel

This command runs all services in parallel. You can see the editor on http://localhost:8080. This is useful for demo, yet not recommended in development.

pnpm dev
