To start your Phoenix server:
- Run
mix setupto install and setup dependencies - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phx.serveror inside IEx withiex -S mix phx.server
Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
Ready to run in production? Please check our deployment guides.

To start all required dependencies and the phoenix server use nix run. To run only the database use nix run .#db, this allows you
to run the phoenix server seperately with either mix phx.server or iex -S mix phx.server.
Once everything is running check you can access localhost:4000.
If this is your first time running the project make sure to run mix deps.get, mix ecto.setup.
These will download the dependencies, create and migrate the database and also add example data.
If you would like to delete the sample data or delete all data in the database then run mix ecto.reset.
If you do not have mix in your environment then you can run nix develop which will put you in a shell with all the tools required
to run the project, including a helper script pg-connect which will connect you to the running database using the postgres user.
Note that the postgres user does not have certain permissions like the ability to create new databases. This is because, by default
the flake will create a user with the same username as the current user with full permissions. If you want to use this account to access
the database you can use the pg-user-connect script instead.
Debugging is easily achieved using the repl iex -S mix will load the project into the repl.
