Backend

This repository contains the backend of the CeluAlquilo platform. It is a RESTful API built with NestJS. The API is designed to be consumed by the frontend of the platform.

The backend connects to a PostgreSQL database. It is dockerized, so you can use Docker to run the backend, the database and the pgAdmin4 tool to manage the database in separate containers.

Running the Backend

1. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed in your system. An easy way is to install Docker Desktop, which includes both.

2. To build and run the backend, the database, and the pgAdmin4 tool, execute the following command from the root folder of the repository in the terminal:

    docker-compose up

   • If changes are made to the code and the backend needs to be rebuilt, the --build flag can be used.
   • The containers can be run in the background using the -d flag.

   The pgAdmin4 tool will be running on http://localhost:5050. The backend will be running on http://localhost:3000. The database will be running on localhost:5432.

3. Access the pgAdmin4 tool on http://localhost:5050 with the credentials found in the docker-compose.yml file. Create a new server with the following credentials:

   • Name: celualquilo
   • Host: postgres
   • Port: 5432
   • Username: user
   • Password: password

4. On the server, access the celualquilo database and create the tables running the SQL script in the insertionsCelualquilo.sql file with the Query Tool of pgAdmin4. This will populate the database with some initial data, which is crucial for the frontend to look and work properly.

To stop the containers, run docker-compose down in the terminal.
