This is a sample events website built with Next.js, Prisma, and SQLite. It allows users to browse events, reserve spots, and manage their reservations.

You can run this application either locally or using Docker.

Follow these steps to run the application locally:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/lmammino/sample-events-website.git
   cd sample-events-website

2. Install dependencies: Make sure you have pnpm installed. If not, install it globally:

   npm install -g pnpm

   Then, install the project dependencies:

   pnpm install

3. Generate Prisma client:

   pnpm dlx prisma generate

4. Initialize the database: Run the following commands to set up the database:

   pnpm dlx prisma migrate deploy
   pnpm dlx prisma db push
   node prisma/seed.ts

5. Set up environment variables: Create a .env file in the root of the project and add the following line:

   NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
   

   You can also set NEXTAUTH_SECRET to a random string for local development. You can generate a random secret using the following command:

   openssl rand -base64 42

   Alternatively, you can use the provided .env.example as a template.

6. Start the development server:

   pnpm dev

   The application will be available at http://localhost:3000.

To run the application using Docker, use the following command:

docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/lmammino/sample-events-website:main

This will pull the pre-built Docker image from GitHub Container Registry and start the application. The application will be available at http://localhost:3000.

• Browse upcoming events
• Reserve spots for events
• View and manage your reservations
• Authentication and user management

The application uses the following environment variables:

• NEXTAUTH_URL: The base URL of the application (default: http://localhost:3000)
• NEXTAUTH_SECRET: A secret key for NextAuth (generated dynamically in Docker or set manually for local development)
