How to setup

Start by cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Brainterminator/poster-cms

Then you need to setup a local PostgreSQL Server on your machine.

In the appsettings.json file you can find an example of how to add a Connection String for your database connection. It is recommended to create a appsettings.Development.json in your project for development. That file will be ignored by version control, therefore no secrets will be accidentally shared.

"ConnectionStrings": {
    "PostgresConnection": "Host=localhost;Port=5432;Database=<DATABASE>;Username=<USER>;Password=<PASSWORD>"
}

You have to install Entity Framework:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

You can now migrate your database. Run the following command in the root of this repo:

dotnet ef database update

To make sure Cookies and JavaScript is working install the Dotnet Developer certificates:

dotnet dev-certs https --trust

Running the Developer Server

If you proceeded all prior steps you should be able to run the server using:

dotnet run
