FAQPage Schema
How do I start the Markdown Magpie app locally with Docker and Node.js?▼

To start the Markdown Magpie app locally, run Docker Compose for Postgres, execute database migration scripts, and launch the API, watcher, and web console using npm. This coordinates all required services for local deployment.

Do I need Docker and npm installed to manage local app deployment for Markdown Magpie?▼

Yes, you need Docker, Node.js, and npm installed and properly configured to manage the local deployment of the Markdown Magpie application, as it relies on these dependencies to run its Postgres database and Node services.

What components are included when running the Markdown Magpie application locally?▼

The Markdown Magpie application includes a Postgres database, an API, a file watcher, and a web console. The local app management process starts and monitors all these components together.

How do I configure environment variables and database setup for a local Node.js app?▼

Local Node.js app configuration is handled by executing migration scripts with an environment file and managing environment variables. This ensures the Postgres database and API are properly set up before starting the watcher and web console.

Why does my local Docker and Node.js app deployment fail to start all components?▼

Local app deployment fails if Docker, Node.js, or npm are not properly configured. The startup process requires successfully launching Postgres, running migrations, and initiating the API, watcher, and web console without conflicts.
