svelt-pocketbase-project

Forked from (https://gitlab.com/johnmarianhoffman/svelte-pocketbase-compose)

This is an empty, ready-to-deploy* stack that uses PocketBase as the backend, and Svelte for the frontend.

Goals:

• easy to build
• easy to deploy
• simple (no complex server architecture, not worried about any fancy horizontal scaling, easy DB management via WebUI)
• powerful (Bare bones Svelte => highly customizable, sophisticated js framework.)

Getting started

Prerequisites: Make, Node.js/NPM

Note: Make is not strictly required if you don't have access. I'm just using it to alias repetitive commands.

Run locally:

git clone https://gitlab.com/johnmarianhoffman/svelte-pocketbase-compose.git
cd svelt-pocketbase-compose
make build
APP_HOST=localhost APP_PORT=8181 make run

Key paths are (change host/port as needed):

Svelte index:           http://localhost:8181/
PocketBase admin panel: http://localhost:8181/_/
PocketBase API:         http://localhost:8181/api/

Deploy (NOT TESTED, but this is the intended workflow):

make build
make deploy

Some setup notes:

SvelteKit is configured to build a static site.

Both PB and Svelte mount their required state files (database, compiled static HTML+JS) from the host. All changes to the live DB are saved to the host (backend/pb_data/*), and Svelte files (frontend/media/*) can be rebuilt on the host and viewed "live" without having to stop/restart the Docker containers. If you wanted to back up the full, current state, you just need to back up these two directories (and technically only backend/pb_data)

• do your own homework and decide what's "secure enough" for your use case. I make no guarantees and am not responsible for anything. See the license.
