# RowBoat Monorepo This guide will help you set up and run the RowBoat applications locally using Docker. ## Prerequisites Before running RowBoat, ensure you have: 1. **Docker Desktop** - [Download Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) and ensure Docker Compose is included. 2. **OpenAI API Key** - Obtain from your OpenAI account. 3. **MongoDB** - **Option 1**: Use an existing MongoDB deployment with your connection string. - **Option 2**: Install MongoDB locally: ```bash brew tap mongodb/brew brew install mongodb-community@8.0 brew services start mongodb-community@8.0 ``` 4. **Auth0 Account and Application Setup** - **Create an Auth0 Account**: Sign up at [Auth0](https://auth0.com). - **Create a New Application**: Choose "Regular Web Applications" and name it "RowBoat". - **Configure Application**: - **Allowed Callback URLs**: In the Auth0 Dashboard, go to your "RowBoat" application settings and set `http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback` as an Allowed Callback URL. - **Get Credentials**: Note down Domain, Client ID, and Client Secret. - **Secure Application**: Generate a session encryption secret: ```bash openssl rand -hex 32 ``` ## Local Development Setup 1. **Clone the Repository** ```bash git clone git@github.com:rowboatlabs/rowboat.git cd rowboat git checkout dev ``` 2. **Environment Configuration** - Copy the `.env.example` file and rename it to `.env`: ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` - Update your `.env` file with the following configurations: ```ini # OpenAI Configuration OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key # Auth0 Configuration AUTH0_SECRET=your-generated-secret # Generated using openssl command AUTH0_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 # Your application's base URL AUTH0_ISSUER_BASE_URL=https://example.auth0.com # Your Auth0 domain AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret # MongoDB Configuration (choose one based on your setup) # For local MongoDB MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING=mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/rowboat # or, for remote MongoDB MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING=mongodb+srv://:@.mongodb.net/rowboat ``` 3. **Start the App** ```bash docker-compose up --build ``` 4. **Access the App** - Visit [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). ## Troubleshooting 1. **MongoDB Connection Issues** - Ensure local MongoDB service is running: `brew services list` - Verify connection string and network connectivity. 2. **Container Start-up Issues** - Remove all containers: `docker-compose down` - Rebuild: `docker-compose up --build`
