-This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app).
+# Wedding and Event Planner
+My goal for this project is to be an all-in-one self hosted event planner for major events such as weddings, bridal showers and engagement parties. Users will be able to spin this up as a single Docker container which will create the database and frontend.

 ## Getting Started
+This is very much a work in progress but this `README` will stay up to date on working features and steps to get it running **in its current state**. That being said if you're interested in starting it as is, you can follow these instructions.
 
-First, run the development server:
+1. Clone the repo
-
+```
-```bash
+git clone https://github.com/briannelson95/wedding-planner.git
-npm run dev
-# or
-yarn dev
-# or
-pnpm dev
-# or
-bun dev
 ```
 
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
+2. Set your enviorment variables
+```env
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/wedding_planner
+NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your-secret
+NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
 
-You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
+3. Start the database
+```
+docker compose up -d
+```
 
-This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts) to automatically optimize and load [Geist](https://vercel.com/font), a new font family for Vercel.
+4. Install dependencies and start the front end with `npm i && npm run dev` or `bun i && bun dev`
