Installation Steps

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/maciekt07/nextjs-math-course
cd nextjs-math-course

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory. Use .env.example as a template.

4. Start Databases

Both PostgreSQL (for main app data) and MongoDB (for Payload CMS) run via Docker Compose

docker-compose up -d

To verify the database is running:

docker-compose ps

5. Run the Stripe webhook listener

Once the app is running, you can access the CMS at:

http://localhost:3000/admin

• Create your admin account on first visit

• Use the panel to manage courses, lessons, and media

Database Management

Access PostgreSQL CLI

docker-compose exec db psql -U postgres -d math_course

View Database with Drizzle Studio

npm run db:studio

This opens a visual database browser at https://local.drizzle.studio

Stop the Database

docker-compose down
