# Check Node.js version
node --version
# Expected: v18.x or higher# Check pnpm version (install with: npm install -g pnpm)
pnpm --version
# Expected: v8.x or higher# Check Docker is installed and running

🐳 Docker Setup

Zero Locker uses Docker to run PostgreSQL locally for development.

1. Pull the PostgreSQL Image

# Pull the official PostgreSQL 15 Alpine image
pnpm docker:pull
# Or manually:
docker pull postgres:15-alpine

2. Start the Database Container

# Start PostgreSQL in detached mode
pnpm docker:up
# This will:# - Create a PostgreSQL 15 container# - Expose it on port 5432# - Create a database named 'zerolocker'# - Set up with username: postgres, password: password

3. Verify Database is Running

# Check container status
pnpm docker:status
# View logs
pnpm docker:logs:tail
# You should see:# ✅ database system is ready to accept connections

4. Run Database Migrations

# Generate Prisma Client and run migrations
pnpm db:migrate
# This will:# - Create all necessary tables# - Set up relationships# - Apply any pending migrations

5. (Optional) Seed the Database

# Populate with sample data
pnpm db:reset-and-seed
# ⚠️ Warning: This will delete all existing data

Docker Container Management

# View container status
pnpm docker:status
# View real-time logs
pnpm docker:logs
# View last 100 log lines
pnpm docker:logs:tail
# Restart the database
pnpm docker:restart
# Stop the database
pnpm docker:down
# Reset database (deletes all data and volumes)
pnpm docker:reset
# Clean up (removes containers, volumes, and images)
pnpm docker:clean
