Installation & Configuration

Configuration

1. Make sure you clone this repo first
2. Copy .env.example and rename it to .env
3. Change the configuration there
4. Don't forget to change the logo.jpg in the root directory

Installation

1. Node.js v20+ , I've setups to 20 in package.json, you can change it but generally it works in Node.js v12 higher
2. pnpm package manager, because why not
3. You can go for docker for an easy setups, or if you deploy it manually you will need to install Google Chrome
4. On an Ubuntu server, you will need to run this command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \
    gconf-service \
    libgbm-dev \
    libasound2 \
    libatk1.0-0 \
    libc6 \
    libcairo2 \
    libcups2 \
    libdbus-1-3 \
    libexpat1 \

    ca-certificates \
    fonts-liberation \
    libappindicator1 \
    libnss3 \
    lsb-release \
    xdg-utils \
    wget

5. cd into the project directory
6. run pnpm install
7. run pnpm build
8. run pnpm start
9. After that you will need to scan the QR that is printed to the terminal
10. You're basically done, or if you want to be more robust, you can use pm2 for a better process management
