Local Development

This guide will help you set up your local development environment for saasbrella, including the necessary services like PostgreSQL and MinIO S3 storage.

Prerequisites

To run the application locally, you need to have the following:

Docker and Docker Compose
Node.js (v18 or later)
pnpm

Setting Up Local Services

Create a docker-compose.yml file in your project root with the following configuration:

version: '3.8'

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:15-alpine
    container_name: saasbrella-postgres
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: saasbrella
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

  minio:
    image: minio/minio
    container_name: saasbrella-minio
    environment:
      MINIO_ROOT_USER: minioadmin
      MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: minioadmin
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
      - "9001:9001"
    volumes:
      - minio_data:/data
    command: server /data --console-address ":9001"
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:9000/minio/health/live"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 20s
      retries: 3

volumes:
  postgres_data:
  minio_data:

Starting the Services

Start the services using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

Verify that the services are running:

docker-compose ps

Environment Configuration

Create or update your .env file with the following configuration:

# Database
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/saasbrella"

# MinIO S3
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="minioadmin"
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="minioadmin"
S3_BUCKET="saasbrella"
S3_REGION="us-east-1"
S3_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:9000"

Accessing the Services

PostgreSQL:
- Host: localhost
- Port: 5432
- Username: postgres
- Password: postgres
- Database: saasbrella
MinIO Console:
- URL: http://localhost:9001
- Username: minioadmin
- Password: minioadmin

Creating the S3 Bucket

Access the MinIO Console at http://localhost:9001
Log in with the credentials above
Click “Create Bucket”
Name it “avatars”
Click “Create Bucket”

Start saasbrella development server

Start the development server:

pnpm dev

Your saasbrella application should now be running with the local PostgreSQL database and MinIO S3 storage.

Troubleshooting

Database Connection Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting to PostgreSQL:

Verify the database is running:

docker-compose ps postgres

Check the logs:

docker-compose logs postgres

S3 Storage Issues

If you’re having trouble with S3 storage:

Verify MinIO is running:

docker-compose ps minio

Check the logs:

docker-compose logs minio

Ensure the bucket exists in the MinIO Console

Stopping the Services

To stop all services:

docker-compose down

To stop and remove all data (including volumes):

docker-compose down -v
