When I try to start the application per the README,

it fails due to a missing DATABASE_URL config. That's not a surprise, since I haven't configured the database. ;-) What is a surprise is that the README doesn't mention how to set up a db.

$ RUST_LOG=info cargo run

Upon further inspection, it looks like there might be seed data (sqlx-data.json), and that the db should be set up by sqlx. I've no experience with sqlx, so that's as far as I am going for now.

Regards!
