Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+
- Node.js 18+
- npm or yarn
Backend Setup
cd backend
# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Seed database with demo users
python seed_db.py
# Run development server
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
Backend will be available at: http://localhost:8000
API documentation: http://localhost:8000/docs
Frontend Setup
cd frontend
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run development server
npm run dev
Frontend will be available at: http://localhost:5173
Demo Accounts (local dev only)
Demo accounts are not created in production. They are seeded only for local
development, and only when RUN_SEED=1 is set (see backend/.env.example).
In production, the first user to register becomes the superadmin — see
DEPLOYMENT.md.
| Password | Role | |
|---|---|---|
| admin@example.com | adminpassword | Superadmin |
| manager@example.com | managerpassword | Manager |
| user@example.com | userpassword | User |
Passwords are overridable via
ADMIN_PASSWORD/MANAGER_PASSWORD/USER_PASSWORD. Defaults are weak and for local use only.
Docker Compose (local)
# Create .env from template
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
# Edit .env with your values
# Start all services
docker compose up --build
Frontend: http://localhost Backend API: http://localhost:8000/docs
Deploy (Dokploy)
See DEPLOYMENT.md for the full production guide (security model, environment variables, first-deploy steps, and how to reset the database).
Quick version:
Dokploy UI → New Service → Docker Compose → Git: space-booking repo- Set environment variables (
SECRET_KEY,FRONTEND_URL,DOMAIN). - Deploy. Tables are auto-created on boot; no demo data is seeded.
- Open the site → Register your own account first → you become
superadmin.
The backend refuses to start in production unless
SECRET_KEYis a strong, random value. Do not setRUN_SEEDin production.
