# Run the container
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --env-file ./env --name timeoff aliengen/timeoff-management-application:master

🐳 Using Docker-compose

1. Copy the example environment file:

cp .env.example .env

2. Choose your database configuration:

   Option 1: External Database (recommended for production)

   • Set your DATABASE_URL in .env
   • Comment out the postgres service in docker-compose.yaml

   Option 2: Local Database (recommended for development)

   • Comment out DATABASE_URL in .env
   • Uncomment the postgres service in docker-compose.yaml
   • Configure DB_* variables in .env

3. Start the application:

docker-compose up -d

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000 (or your configured port).

💾 Database Configuration

The application supports two database setup options:

1. External Database (recommended for production)

   • Uses a hosted database service (e.g., AWS RDS, Neon, Supabase)
   • Set DATABASE_URL in .env
   • Better scalability and maintenance
   • Automatic backups and monitoring
   • Example: DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/dbname?sslmode=require

2. Local Database (recommended for development)

   • Runs PostgreSQL in a Docker container
   • Data persisted in a Docker volume
   • Easy setup for development
   • Includes optional Adminer for database management
   • Configure using DB_* variables in .env

Choose the option that best fits your needs. For development, the local database option provides a simpler setup. For production, an external database offers better reliability and features.

⚙️ Configuration

Configuration can be done through environment variables or JSON configuration files.
