Getting started
Easily spin up a new CourseLit headless server using the following command.
export USER_CONTENT_DIRECTORY=local_directory_to_hold_user_data
export JWT_SECRET=string_of_your_choice
yarn start
# the server will be available at http://localhost/api
The above commands assume that you have a MongoDB server running on your local machine. If that is not the case, specify the DB_CONNECTION_STRING environment as well.
Additionally, you need to have imagemagick
and ffmpeg
softwares installed locally for media upload functionality to work.
