# Why? 

This is a small project I made to practice and improve my skills since I've recently learnt **PostgreSQL** and **React**.

- Self hosted server

# How to setup

## Backend

Ok so first of all you'll need to find a way to host your server, it can be your pc, a old one or a cloud server, you can find the server files in the [Server Folder](https://github.com/AlessTheDev/File-Tracker/tree/main/server) and run it with [NodeJs](https://nodejs.org/en) with the command `npm start` but before that

you'll also need a way to host your postgreSQL database and make sure the server has access to it, you can create the database and the table info with the [database_init sql script](https://github.com/AlessTheDev/File-Tracker/blob/main/server/database_init.sql) edit the server/src/database.ts with your postgre credentials and then run!

## Frontend

Wait... what about the UI? 

you can compile the program by running the following command in the file-tracker folder `npm run tauri build`, this will create a .msi installer for the application in the `file-tracker\src-tauri\target\release\bundle\msi` folder, if you have any problem see the [tauri build documentation](https://tauri.app/it/v1/guides/building/).
