Uses docker via Laravel Sail. https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/installation#laravel-and-docker

On Windows, I highly suggest doing all development on WSL 2, using VSCode with the remote development extension.

Automatically generated docs will be available at http://localhost/docs/api, and the Laravel development assistance thing will be at http://localhost/telescope.

• Navigate to your project root
• Create a shared docker network:

docker network create sail

• Install dependencies:

docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v "$(pwd):/var/www/html" \
    -w /var/www/html \
    laravelsail/php83-composer:latest \
    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

• Prepare your environment:

echo -e "\nalias sail='sh $([ -f sail ] && echo sail || echo vendor/bin/sail)'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

• Bootstrap your application:

  This might take a while as it builds the docker containers.

sail up -d
sail artisan initial-setup

The above will initialize the database, guide you through creating a user, and then guide you through creating an API token.

• Start the frontend

sail npm i
sail npm run dev

The above will install the frontend packages and start the dev server, allowing you to access the web UI at http://localhost.

There are some external services that the API relies on that are not yet public/integrated. As such, the following features are unavailable during development:

• Any communication with game servers
• Map switches
• VPN checking (unless you configure with your own IPQualityScore credentials)
