A separate [task server](https://github.com/schemalabz/opencouncil-tasks) handles media processing and AI features. See the [documentation index](./docs/README.md) for architecture details and the full deployment topology.\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Node.js 18+ and npm\n- PostgreSQL 14+ with the postgis extension\n- Docker (optional, but recommended)\n- Nix (optional, recommended for the flake-based setup)\n\n## Documentation\n\nFor architecture, feature guides, and operational procedures, see the [documentation index](./docs/README.md).\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions from the community! Please read our [contributing guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md) to get started. Our contributor workflow is designed around a human-AI co-creation partnership, and the guidelines will walk you through the process.\n\nTo get started, you'll need to set up the project on your local machine.\n\n### Development Setup\n\nCopy the example environment file:\n   ```bash\n   cp .env.example .env\n   ```\nThen edit the file to include your specific configuration values.\n\n#### Nix (Flakes) Setup\n\nOpenCouncil supports a flake-based dev environment (recommended on NixOS, supported on macOS/Linux).\n\nEnter the dev shell:\n```bash\nnix develop\n```\n\nOnce you’re in the dev shell, follow the [Nix Usage Guide](./docs/nix-usage.md) for how to install Nix (if needed), run the dev runner, choose DB modes, and use the `process-compose` UI.\n\n#### Docker Setup (Recommended)\n\nThe easiest way to get started is using our Docker setup:\n\nStart the application with the local database:\n   ```bash\n   ./run.sh\n   ```\n\nThis will automatically:\n- Start the dockerized PostgreSQL database\n- Apply database migrations\n- Seed the database with sample data\n- Run the application in development mode\n\n\n\u003e **Note:**  \n\u003e For more advanced Docker configuration options, see [Docker Usage Guide](./docs/docker-usage.md).\n\u003e \n\u003e For a full list of required environment variables and instructions on how to generate secure values (such as `NEXTAUTH_SECRET`), see [Environment Variables Reference](./docs/environment-variables.md).\n\n#### Manual Setup\n\nIf you prefer to run without Docker:\n\n1. Install dependencies:\n   ```bash\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n2. Set up your database connection:\n   - For local development, you can use the dockerized PostgreSQL database:\n     ```bash\n     docker compose up db -d\n     ```\n   - Alternatively, you can connect to any PostgreSQL database (local or remote) by setting the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable in your `.env` file:\n     ```\n     DATABASE_URL=\"postgresql://user:password@host:port/database\"\n     ```\n     The database must have the `postgis` extension installed.\n\n3. Set up the database:\n   ```bash\n   # Run migrations\n   npx prisma migrate deploy\n   \n   # Generate Prisma client\n   npx prisma generate\n   \n   # Optionally, seed the database with sample data\n   npx prisma db seed\n   ```\n\n4. Start the development server:\n   ```bash\n   npm run dev\n   ```\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fschemalabz%2Fopencouncil","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fschemalabz%2Fopencouncil","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fschemalabz%2Fopencouncil/lists"}
