Local Development

1. Clone & install

git clone https://github.com/MiyuLabs/waitlist.git
cd waitlist
npm install

2. Environment variables

Copy the example and fill in your values:

cp .env.example .env

Variable	Description
DATABASE_URL	SQLite path — keep file:./dev.db for local
IP_HASH_SALT	Random string used to hash IPs — generate with openssl rand -hex 24
SMTP_HOST	SMTP server hostname
SMTP_PORT	SMTP port (e.g. 465)
SMTP_SECURE	true for port 465
SMTP_USER	SMTP login email
SMTP_PASS	SMTP password
SMTP_FROM_NAME	Sender display name
SMTP_FROM_EMAIL	Sender email address
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL	Full URL of the app (e.g. https://yourdomain.tld)
ADMIN_SECRET_TOKEN	Dashboard access token — generate with openssl rand -hex 32
ADMIN_COOKIE_MAX_AGE	Session TTL in seconds (604800 = 1 week)

3. Set up the database

npm run db:push      # apply schema to dev.db (prototyping only)

For production, migrations are tracked in prisma/migrations/. Run npm run db:migrate to create a new named migration when you change the schema.

4. Run

npm run dev           # http://localhost:3000

Admin Dashboard

Visit /admin to view all waitlist signups and export as JSON.

Access is gated by ADMIN_SECRET_TOKEN — set it in your .env and your hosting provider's secret vault. The token is stored in an HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict cookie and never exposed to client JS.

Programmatic access (curl / scripts):

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>" \

Production Deployment

Server prerequisites (one-time)

# On the server — as root or sudo user
apt install -y git nginx
npm install -g pm2

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/MiyuLabs/waitlist.git /var/www/waitlist
cd /var/www/waitlist

# Create production .env (fill in all values)
cp .env.example .env
nano .env

# Install deps, generate Prisma client, run migrations, build
npm ci
npx prisma migrate deploy
npm run build

# Start with PM2
pm2 start ecosystem.config.js
pm2 save
pm2 startup          # follow the printed command to enable auto-restart on reboot

nginx config

The ecosystem.config.js is configured to run the app on port 3001. Make sure to update the proxy_pass in the nginx config to match the port in the ecosystem file.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.tld www.yourdomain.tld;

    location / {
        proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:3001;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header   Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header   Host $host;
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

Then get a TLS certificate:

apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx
certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.tld -d www.yourdomain.tld

Subsequent deploys (automated via GitHub Actions)

After the first setup, all deploys are handled automatically on push to main. See .github/workflows/deploy.yml.

Secret	Value
SSH_HOST	Server IP or domain

---

Scripts

npm run dev          # start dev server
npm run build        # production build
npm run lint         # ESLint
