Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • PostgreSQL database (local or hosted, Neon, Supabase, etc.)
  • Google Cloud Console project (for OAuth client ID)
  • Gemini API Key (Get one free)

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Sachinchaurasiya360/InternHack.git
cd InternHack

Docker Compose (alternative)

Requires Docker Desktop or Docker Engine plus Compose v2. You do not need a host-installed PostgreSQL or Node for this path. (Redis is not used by InternHack.) The API service image is defined in server/Dockerfile.dev for local dev only; production deploy continues to use server/dockerfile.

From the repo root:

cp .env.example .env
# Set JWT_SECRET at minimum; add OAuth/AI keys as needed (see Environment Variables below).

docker compose up --build

Compose falls back to the same Postgres defaults as .env.example when variables are absent, but the API refuses to boot without JWT_SECRET, which your root .env must supply.

  • Frontend http://localhost:5173 — API http://localhost:3000
  • Source trees are bind-mounted into the containers; CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING helps file watching on Docker Desktop for macOS.
  • On startup, the API container runs prisma migrate deploy, then npm run dev.
  • The frontend service runs Vite in dev mode (npm run dev) for hot reload; production client builds (cd client && npm run build) are still separate from this Compose file.

Optional sample data:

docker compose exec server npm run seed

Uncomment the postgres ports section in docker-compose.yml if you need to reach Postgres from tools on your host defaulting to localhost.

To install Node and Postgres on your machine instead, follow the numbered steps below.

2. Set up environment variables

# Without Docker — per-package env files
cp server/.env.example server/.env
cp client/.env.example client/.env

# Docker Compose — single consolidated file at the repo root
cp .env.example .env

Fill values as described below (Compose uses .env; per-package copies use server/.env and client/.env).

3. Install dependencies

# Server
cd server && npm install

# Client (separate terminal)
cd client && npm install

4. Set up the database

# Go to server directory
cd server

# Generate Prisma client using prisma.config.ts
npx prisma generate --config src/database/prisma.config.ts

# Push schema to database
npx prisma db push --config src/database/prisma.config.ts

5. Seed initial data (optional)

# From server/
cd server

# Seed admin account (set ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD in .env first)
npm run seed:admin

# Seed all sample data (DSA, aptitude, companies, etc.)
npm run seed

6. Start development servers

# Terminal 1, Server (runs on port 3000)
cd server && npm run dev

# Terminal 2, Client (runs on port 5173)
cd client && npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 and you're in!

Environment Variables

For Docker Compose, use the repo root .env.example as the master template (cp .env.example .env).

Server (server/.env or root .env with Compose)

Variable Required Description
DATABASE_URL Yes PostgreSQL connection string
JWT_SECRET Yes Random secret for JWT signing (64+ chars recommended)
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID Yes Google OAuth client ID
GEMINI_API_KEY Yes Google Gemini API key (free tier available)
ALLOWED_ORIGINS Yes Comma-separated allowed CORS origins
VITE_API_URL No API base URL (default: http://localhost:3000/api)
AWS_REGION No AWS region for S3 uploads
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID No AWS access key (falls back to local storage)
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY No AWS secret key
AWS_S3_BUCKET No S3 bucket name
RESEND_API_KEY No Resend API key for emails
EMAIL_FROM No From address for outgoing emails
DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY No Dodo Payments key (for premium subscriptions)
DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY No Dodo webhook verification key
GROQ_API_KEY No Groq API key (alternative AI provider)
OPENROUTER_API_KEY No OpenRouter key (alternative AI provider)
CODESTRAL_API_KEY No Codestral/Mistral key (alternative AI provider)
CLAUDE_API No Anthropic Claude API key (alternative AI provider)
JUDGE0_RAPIDAPI_KEY_1 No Judge0 key for code execution
EXTERNAL_JOB_API_KEY No API key for external job ingest endpoint

Only DATABASE_URL, JWT_SECRET, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GEMINI_API_KEY, and ALLOWED_ORIGINS are required to run the app locally. Other services degrade gracefully.

Client (client/.env, or root .env — only VITE_* vars are exposed to Vite)

Variable Required Description
VITE_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID Yes Same Google OAuth client ID as server
VITE_DODO_MODE No test_mode or live (default: test_mode)
