## Deployement

You can easily deploy this app with docker compose (`production.yml`).

```sh
docker compose -f production.yml up --build
```

## Development

If you want to run development version, you will need docker. Docker handles frontend, backend and proxies everything to single port.

```sh
# Run development environment
docker compose -f development.yml up --build
```

## Backup

By default database backup is stored inside of `/data` subfolder. To backup postgreSQL database, run:

```sh
sudo docker exec -t cover-letter-db pg_dumpall -c -U postgres > cover.bak.sql && gzip cover.bak.sql
```
