About UWCodeForce/student-net
Student Net is a web platform designed for students at The University of Winnipeg to connect and collaborate. The project uses Next.js for the frontend framework and MySQL for the database, containerized with Docker and Docker Compose to streamline the development setup process.
The application provides a development environment that enables live code reloading, allowing developers to see changes instantly without manually restarting servers. The setup process is automated through Docker containers, which handle both the Next.js application server and the MySQL database, making it accessible locally at localhost:3000. The project also supports production deployment through a separate Docker Compose configuration file that can be exposed to the internet via port forwarding.
The repository targets university students and developers contributing to the project, providing clear documentation and development workflows. The tech stack emphasizes containerization and modern JavaScript development practices, with hot-reload capabilities that improve the developer experience during active development.
