🚀 Getting Started

Option 1️⃣: Run with Docker (Recommended)

docker build -t droply .
docker run -p 3000:3000 droply

Option 2️⃣: Run Locally (Without Docker)

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/your-username/droply.git
cd droply

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory:

DATABASE_URL=your_neon_db_url

NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_FRONTEND_API=https://clerk.your-domain.com
CLERK_API_KEY=your_clerk_api_key

NEXT_PUBLIC_IMAGEKIT_PUBLIC_KEY=your_imagekit_public_key
NEXT_PUBLIC_IMAGEKIT_URL_ENDPOINT=your_imagekit_url_endpoint

IMAGEKIT_PUBLIC_KEY=your_imagekit_public_key
IMAGEKIT_PRIVATE_KEY=your_imagekit_private_key

NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_SIGN_IN_URL=/sign-in
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_SIGN_UP_URL=/sign-up
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL=/dashboard
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL=/dashboard

NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000

4. Push DB schema

npm run db:push

5. Start the dev server

npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:3000

🧠 How It Works

• User signs up or logs in using Clerk
• Authenticated users can upload files
• Files are stored via ImageKit
• Metadata is persisted using Drizzle ORM + NeonDB
• Application runs inside Docker containers for consistency
