## Getting started
Web app is available at https://app.cinny.in and gets updated on each new release. The `dev` branch is continuously deployed at https://dev.cinny.in but keep in mind that it could have things broken.

You can also download our desktop app from [cinny-desktop repository](https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny-desktop).

To host Cinny on your own, download tarball of the app from [GitHub release](https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/releases/latest).
You can serve the application with a webserver of your choice by simply copying `dist/` directory to the webroot. 
To set default Homeserver on login and register page, place a customized [`config.json`](config.json) in webroot of your choice.

Alternatively you can just pull the [DockerHub image](https://hub.docker.com/r/ajbura/cinny) by:
```
docker pull ajbura/cinny
```
or [ghcr image](https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/pkgs/container/cinny) by:
```
docker pull ghcr.io/cinnyapp/cinny:latest
```

## Local development
> We recommend using a version manager as versions change very quickly. You will likely need to switch 
between multiple Node.js versions based on the needs of different projects you're working on. [NVM on windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows#installation--upgrades) on Windows and [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) on Linux/macOS are pretty good choices. Also recommended nodejs version Hydrogen LTS (v18).

Execute the following commands to start a development server:
```sh
npm ci # Installs all dependencies
npm start # Serve a development version
```

To build the app:
```sh
npm run build # Compiles the app into the dist/ directory
```

### Running with Docker
This repository includes a Dockerfile, which builds the application from source and serves it with Nginx on port 80. To
use this locally, you can build the container like so:
```
docker build -t cinny:latest .
```

You can then run the container you've built with a command similar to this:
```
docker run -p 8080:80 cinny:latest
```

This will forward your `localhost` port 8080 to the container's port 80. You can visit the app in your browser by navigating to `http://localhost:8080`.
