Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Docker (for MySQL, via docker-compose.yml)

Setup

1. Copy the env file and fill in your Groq API key:

   cp .env.example .env
   

2. Start MySQL (and the backend, if you want it containerized):

   docker compose up -d mysql
   

   Migrations in db/migrations/ run automatically on first boot via docker-entrypoint-initdb.d.

3. Install backend dependencies:

   cd backend
   npm install
   

Running the backend

From backend/, with MySQL up:

npm run dev

This starts the Fastify server on PORT (default 3000) with auto-restart on file changes. Use npm start for a plain run without watch mode.

The backend reads its config from env vars (PORT, MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE, GROQ_API_KEY, GROQ_MODEL) — see backend/src/config.js for defaults.
