Getting started

Run the platform locally in ten minutes, and learn which address to open

Three commands to get everything running, then the one thing newcomers always trip over: which local address does what.

Prerequisites

Tool Version Used for
Node.js 22+ Running the server, building UI
pnpm 11+ Monorepo package management
Docker Any recent Local PostgreSQL and Redis

1. Install and initialize

pnpm install
pnpm setup

pnpm setup is idempotent: it writes .env.local, starts PostgreSQL and Redis in Docker, and runs every migration. Re-running it never destroys existing data, so when you are unsure about the current state, just run it again.

Database containers only: pnpm db:up (and pnpm db:down to stop them).

2. Start the dev servers

pnpm dev

One command starts both server and client. The frontend runs on port 7300, the API on 3700, and /api is proxied across — day to day you only need to remember 7300.

3. Which address to open

Everything is routed by Host, and this is the part that catches people out:

Address What it is
http://localhost:7300/ The product site (the default tenant's site)
http://localhost:7300/app The workspace; redirects to /login if signed out
http://localhost:7300/member/login Site member sign-in (a separate identity)
http://127.0.0.1:7300/platform The platform console

localhost and 127.0.0.1 are two different entrances, not one. Opening /platform on localhost sends you to 127.0.0.1; opening / on 127.0.0.1 sends you into the console. That split is deliberate — it lets you exercise both Host behaviours locally without editing your hosts file. See Host-based routing.

4. Open the default tenant's site

The default tenant (slug rewindom) gets its site and this documentation library initialized automatically when the server starts — no script to run. The starter home page is created and published, and the docs library is seeded per language.

Initialization is idempotent and evaluated per language: a language that already has published docs is skipped, so your later edits are never overwritten. To seed the same content into another tenant, or reset the default tenant back to factory content:

pnpm --filter server exec tsx scripts/seed-local-marketing-site.ts [tenant-slug]

That script overwrites the target tenant's starter pages and doc drafts and republishes them. Think before pointing it at a site that has real content.
