SolidStart

Setting up the project for devs

npm install
mkdir -p ../solid-directus-app/database/;
mkdir ../solid-directus-app/uploads/;
podman unshare chown -R 1000:1000 ../solid-directus-app/database/
podman unshare chown -R 1000:1000 ../solid-directus-app/uploads/

Create an .env file with content like this:

SESSION_SECRET=CHANGEME
DIRECTUS_HOST=localhost
DIRECTUS_PORT=8055

Developing

Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:

docker-compose up -d
npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

docker-compose ps -q database

Backing up the database

docker exec $(docker-compose ps -q database) /bin/bash \
 -c "/usr/bin/pg_dump -U \$POSTGRES_USER \$POSTGRES_DB" \
 | gzip -9 > postgres-backup.sql.gz

Building

Solid apps are built with adapters, which optimise your project for deployment to different environments.

By default, npm run build will generate a Node app that you can run with node build. To use a different adapter, add it to the devDependencies in package.json and specify in your vite.config.js.
