It lets you save memories, notes, photos, videos, loved-one\nprofiles, groups, and legacy messages in your own deployment.\n\nThis public repository intentionally contains only the product app and Payload\nadmin. It does not include the private MemoryVault website, marketing CMS,\nhosted-service code, or internal operational code.\n\nThe Community Edition is the free self-hosted app and admin experience.\n\n## What Is Included\n\n- MemoryVault app routes for dashboard, memories, loved ones, groups, and account\n- Payload admin panel\n- App email/password authentication routes\n- Memory, media, loved-one, group, legacy-delivery, and user APIs\n\n## License\n\nMemoryVault Community Edition is licensed under the PolyForm Noncommercial\nLicense 1.0.0.\n\nSee [LICENSE.md](./LICENSE.md) and [NOTICE](./NOTICE).\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Node.js `24.15.0` or newer, below Node `25`\n- npm\n- PostgreSQL\n- S3-compatible object storage for media uploads\n- Optional: Resend for email delivery\n\n## Setup\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/EgbertLudema/MemoryVault-Community-Edition.git\ncd MemoryVault-Community-Edition\n```\n\n2. Install dependencies:\n\n```bash\nnpm install\n```\n\n3. Copy the environment file:\n\n```bash\ncp .env.example .env\n```\n\n4. Fill in `.env`.\n\nMinimum local values:\n\n```txt\nNEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3000\nPAYLOAD_SECRET=replace-with-a-long-random-secret\nPOSTGRES_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/memoryvault\nS3_BUCKET=memoryvault\nS3_REGION=auto\nS3_ENDPOINT=https://\u003caccount-id\u003e.r2.cloudflarestorage.com\nS3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key-id\nS3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-access-key\nS3_PUBLIC_URL=https://media.example.com\nAPP_ENCRYPTION_KEY=replace-with-a-long-random-secret\n```\n\n5. Make sure Postgres is running.\n\nFor the local database from this repository:\n\n```bash\ndocker compose up -d postgres\n```\n\nIf you use a hosted Postgres database, set `POSTGRES_URL` to the exact\nconnection string from that provider.\n\n6. Run the database migrations:\n\n```bash\nnpm run db:migrate\n```\n\n7. Start the app:\n\n```bash\nnpm run dev\n```\n\n8. Open:\n\n```txt\nhttp://localhost:3000\n```\n\nThe root URL redirects to the app dashboard. Payload Admin is available at:\n\n```txt\nhttp://localhost:3000/admin\n```\n\n## Docker\n\nYou can start a local Postgres database and the app with Docker Compose:\n\n```bash\ncp .env.example .env\ndocker compose up\n```\n\nThe compose file provides Postgres to the app container. You still need to set\nsecrets and service credentials in `.env`, especially `PAYLOAD_SECRET`,\n`APP_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, and the `S3_*` media storage values.\n\n## Database Connection Errors\n\nIf migrations or `npm run dev` fail with:\n\n```txt\npassword authentication failed for user 'neondb_owner'\n```\n\nthen the app is reaching Postgres, but the username/password in `POSTGRES_URL`\nare not accepted by that database. Replace `POSTGRES_URL` in `.env` with the\ncurrent connection string from your database provider, or use the local Docker\ndatabase URL:\n\n```txt\nPOSTGRES_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/memoryvault\n```\n\nIf an earlier failed Community Edition migration was run against a throwaway\ndatabase, use a fresh database before retrying migrations.\n\n## Media Storage\n\nMemoryVault stores uploaded media in S3-compatible object storage.\n\nRecommended options:\n\n- Cloudflare R2 for hosted object storage.\n- MinIO for fully self-hosted object storage.\n- Any provider with an S3-compatible API.\n\n## Scripts\n\n- `npm run dev`: start the local development server\n- `npm run db:migrate`: run Payload database migrations\n- `npm run build`: build the production app\n- `npm run start`: start the production server after a build\n- `npm run generate:types`: generate Payload types\n- `npm run generate:importmap`: generate the Payload admin import map\n\n## Not Included\n\nThis repository does not include the MemoryVault marketing website, website page\nbuilder, website assets, hosted-service implementation, or private deployment\nworkflows.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fegbertludema%2Fmemoryvault-community-edition","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fegbertludema%2Fmemoryvault-community-edition","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fegbertludema%2Fmemoryvault-community-edition/lists"}
