Threadit

A Reddit/Threads-inspired social media platform built with Phoenix, React and Inertia

Running locally

• Install Elixir and Erlang

  • I recommend using asdf to manage your Elixir and Erlang versions
  • Simply run asdf install in the project root to install the correct versions

• Install Postgres

  • I recommend using Postgres.app on macOS
  • Alternatively, you can use Docker with the following command:
    • docker run --name threadit_db -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -e POSTGRES_DB=threadit_dev -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

• Install Node.js

• Run mix setup to install the elixir and javascript dependencies and seed the database

• Start the Phoenix server with mix phx.server or inside IEx with iex -S mix phx.server

• Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser
