## πŸ–₯️ Development Setup
### 1️⃣ Initial Setup
- Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy.git
```
- Install dependencies:
```bash
pnpm install
```
- Set up environment variables:
1. Rename `.env.example` to `.env.local`.
2. Add your API keys:
```bash
GROQ_API_KEY=XXX
HuggingFace_API_KEY=XXX
OPENAI_API_KEY=XXX
...
```
3. Optionally set:
- Debug level: `VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug`
- Context size: `DEFAULT_NUM_CTX=32768`
**Note**: Never commit your `.env.local` file to version control. It’s already in `.gitignore`.
### 2️⃣ Run Development Server
```bash
pnpm run dev
```
**Tip**: Use **Google Chrome Canary** for local testing.
---
## πŸ§ͺ Testing
Run the test suite with:
```bash
pnpm test
```
---
## πŸš€ Deployment
### Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
```bash
pnpm run deploy
```
Ensure you have required permissions and that Wrangler is configured.
---
## 🐳 Docker Deployment
This section outlines the methods for deploying the application using Docker. The processes for **Development** and **Production** are provided separately for clarity.
---
### πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Development Environment
#### Build Options
**Option 1: Helper Scripts**
```bash
# Development build
npm run dockerbuild
```
**Option 2: Direct Docker Build Command**
```bash
docker build . --target bolt-ai-development
```
**Option 3: Docker Compose Profile**
```bash
docker compose --profile development up
```
#### Running the Development Container
```bash
docker run -p 5173:5173 --env-file .env.local bolt-ai:development
```
---
### 🏭 Production Environment
#### Build Options
**Option 1: Helper Scripts**
```bash
# Production build
npm run dockerbuild:prod
```
**Option 2: Direct Docker Build Command**
```bash
docker build . --target bolt-ai-production
```
**Option 3: Docker Compose Profile**
```bash
docker compose --profile production up
```
#### Running the Production Container

```
---
### Coolify Deployment
For an easy deployment process, use [Coolify](https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify):
1. Import your Git repository into Coolify.
2. Choose **Docker Compose** as the build pack.
3. Configure environment variables (e.g., API keys).
4. Set the start command:
```bash
docker compose --profile production up
```
---
## πŸ› οΈ VS Code Dev Containers Integration
The `docker-compose.yaml` configuration is compatible with **VS Code Dev Containers**, making it easy to set up a development environment directly in Visual Studio Code.
### Steps to Use Dev Containers
1. Open the command palette in VS Code (`Ctrl+Shift+P` or `Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS).
2. Select **Dev Containers: Reopen in Container**.
3. Choose the **development** profile when prompted.
4. VS Code will rebuild the container and open it with the pre-configured environment.

## πŸ”‘ Environment Variables
Ensure `.env.local` is configured correctly with:
- API keys.
- Context-specific configurations.
Example for the `DEFAULT_NUM_CTX` variable:
```bash
DEFAULT_NUM_CTX=24576 # Uses 32GB VRAM
```
