Build Instructions

1. Make a .env and follow the example configuration:

   DATABASE_URL="mysql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE"
   
   R2_ACCOUNTID={ACCOUNTID} # https://{ACCOUNTID}.r2.cloudflarestorage.com
   R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID={ACCESS_KEY_ID} # Generate an API token for this
   R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={ACCESS_KEY} # Generate an API token for this
   R2_BUCKET_NAME={BUCKET_NAME} # The bucket that the blog uploads media to
   
   PUBLIC_CDN_URL=https://cdn.somerevival.com # Where the blog resolves profile pictures from
   PUBLIC_WEBSITE_URL=somerevival.com # Everything related to https://SUBDOMAIN.roblox.com will fetch from this
   
   # OPTIONAL
   
   # PUBLIC_WIKI_URL=https://somerevival.wiki # instead of wiki.roblox.com it would be a custom url

2. Generate the database from the prisma schema by running this in your command line.

   npx prisma db push

3. Build the website

   npm run build

4. Run the server!

   node ./dist/server/entry.mjs

   Optionally you may need to provide the host and port the server will run on, for example you need it to point to 192.168.1.130:2456 instead of by default localhost:4321

   HOST=192.168.1.130 PORT=2456 node ./dist/server/entry.mjs

Follow the same instructions but on Step 3 use npm run dev if you're trying to make changes to the blog.

Warning

The banner for the blog will be set to cirkl, which is a now discontinued revival. If you would like this to be something different change the header image under public/images/header_05.png
