Development Setup

Configure Docker Desktop

Docker Desktop allows you to enable Kubernetes, which can be beneficial for deploying and managing containers. To enable Kubernetes:

• Open Docker Desktop settings.
• Navigate to the "Kubernetes" tab.
• Check the box to enable Kubernetes and apply the settings.

Note:

If you intend to run a database within a containerized environment, please be aware that the application utilizes separate containers for PostgreSQL, Redis, and Grafana Loki. The PostgreSQL container accommodates four databases for replication purposes, while the Redis container employs three databases to support high availability. It's essential to consider the significant memory requirements associated with these containers.

Setting Up Your Workspace

To set up an NX workspace that includes React.js, Nest.js, Python, and .Net, follow these steps:

1. Install Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js installed on your system. If not, download and install it from the official Node.js website.

2. Install pnpm (Optional): Yarn is a package manager that works well with NX. You can install it globally by following the instructions on the pnpm website.

3. Install the NX CLI: Install the NX CLI globally using npm or Yarn by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install -g nx

# or
pnpm global add nx

Use Visual Studio Code

To work with this project, follow these steps:

1. Install Visual Studio Code (VS Code):

   • If you don't already have VS Code installed, you can download and install the latest release from the official VS Code website.

2. Install Required Extensions:

   • After installing VS Code, you'll want to install some extensions to enhance your development experience. Open VS Code, and in the Extensions view (you can access it by clicking the square icon on the left sidebar), search for and install the following extensions:
     • Visual Studio Code Python Extension: Enhances Python development capabilities in VS Code.
     • Visual Studio Code Docker Extension: If you plan to work with Docker containers in your project, this extension is helpful for Docker integration.
     • Visual Studio Code Kubernetes Extension: If you work with Kubernetes, this extension assists with Kubernetes-related tasks.

3. Install or Update Node.js, .Net, and Python:

   • Ensure that you have the latest versions of Node.js, Flutter, and Python installed on your system. You can download and install them from their respective official websites:
     • Node.js
     • Python
     • .Net

4. Open Your Project in VS Code:

   • Open VS Code and use the "Open Folder" option to open your project directory.

5. Start Coding:

   • You're now ready to start coding and developing your project using the enhanced capabilities of Visual Studio Code and the installed extensions.

By following these steps and installing the necessary extensions, you'll have a more productive development environment for working with Node.js, .Net, Python, Docker and Kubernetes within Visual Studio Code.
