Description

Colivery is a platform to support people who can’t or dont’t want to leave home in times of Covid-19.

Users can place orders to get stuff they need and others can help them by fetching these items.

Usage

Data

API

local

To start the API locally, use following commands:

./gradlew bootRun

The configuration is done via the file config/application.yml. There’s a example present. Just copy the file and enter the necessary configuration. Put the credentials, provided by Google Firebase as serviceAccountKey.json file in the location defined in the config/application.yml

docker

To start the API via docker, use the existing docker-compose.yml.

Testing
