## Requirements

- Linux based Operating System

Notes

- If you want to log microwave QSOs you will need to use a 64bit operating system.
- We do not provide Docker support, however you are free to use it if you wish but we will not handle support.

## Setup

Installation information can be found on the [wiki](https://github.com/magicbug/Cloudlog/wiki).

# Docker Development Environment

This guide provides instructions for setting up a local development environment using Docker and Docker Compose. Please note that this setup is not recommended for production use.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to install Docker and Docker Compose. You can download them using the following links:

- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

## Configuration

1. Copy the `.env.sample` file to `.env`:

   ```bash
   cp .env.sample .env
   ```

2. Open the `.env` file and update the values to match your setup. The values from the `.env` file will be used to populate the database connection details on the install page. You should not need to change these unless your setup requires different values.

   **Note:** Docker Compose creates a network for your application, and each service (container) in the Docker Compose file can reach each other via the service name. This is why the `DB_HOST` value in the `.env` file and on the install page should match the service name of the database in the `docker-compose.yml` file. For example, if the database service in `docker-compose.yml` is defined as `db`, then `DB_HOST` should be set as 'db'. This allows the application to communicate with the database service on its internal docker network.

## Starting the Development Environment

To start the development environment, run the following command in your terminal:

```bash
docker-compose up
```

# Running Cypress Tests Locally

Follow these steps to run the Cypress tests locally on your machine:

1. **Clone the repository**

   If you haven't already, clone the repository to your local machine

2. **Setup .env file**

   Copy the sample `.env` file and adjust it to your local environment:

   ```bash
   cd your-repo
   cp .env.sample .env
   ```

3. **Build Docker services**

   Build and start the Docker services:

   ```bash
   docker-compose up -d
   ```

4. **Install Cypress**

   Navigate into the project directory and install Cypress:

   ```bash
   npm install cypress
   ```

5. **Run the Cypress tests**

   After the installation is complete, you can run the Cypress tests:

   ```bash
   npx cypress run
   ```
