Code Contribution

1) Setup your development environment

• You need to have Docker Engine (or equivalent) installed on your system.
• If you are using a Mac, I highly recommend installing Orbsatck as a much faster alternative and complete replacement to Docker Desktop.
• For better DX, install Spin.

2) Set your environment variables

• Copy .env.development.example to .env.
• Make sure to set the DB_HOST environment variable to the Postgres container IP or, if using Orbstack, use the container name (e.g., postgres.coolify.orb.local) to make sure that the DB Migrations work.

3) Start & setup Coolify

• Run spin up - You can notice that errors will be thrown. Don't worry.
  • If you see weird permission errors, especially on Mac, run sudo spin up instead.

4) Start development

You can login your Coolify instance at localhost:8000 with test@example.com and password.

Your horizon (Laravel scheduler): localhost:8000/horizon - Only reachable if you logged in with root user.

Mails are caught by Mailpit: localhost:8025
