API Keys

You need a TMDB API key to run Hound.

Docker Compose

Set your API keys in the compose.env file. If you change the database username/password, make sure you change the DB connection string as well.

docker compose up

Build from Source

Build both the frontend and backend separately. By default, the frontend runs on http://localhost:3000 and the backend runs on http://localhost:8080. If you change the backend server host, adjust server_host in /web/src/config.json to point to the backend.

Frontend

cd web

npm install

npm run start

Backend

Set your API keys in the server/.env file. If you change the database username/password, make sure you change the DB connection string as well.

cd server

go build
