Hi @Nisarg Shah , did you follow https://twenty.com/developers/local-setup#step-3:-set-up-a-postgresql-database to setup the db locally?

Is it require to setup postgres locally ?
Doesn't it work using docker?
I follow complete docs but eveytime I get stuck on db connection
What doc did you follow?

so you did run
make postgres-on-docker?I tell you what I did
1) docker pull postgres
2) docker run --name twenty -e POSTGRES_DB=twenty -e POSTGRES_USER=twenty -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=twenty -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
3) docker exec -it twenty bash
4) psql -U twenty -d twenty
5) cp ./packages/twenty-front/.env.example ./packages/twenty-front/.env
cp ./packages/twenty-server/.env.example ./packages/twenty-server/.env
6) nvm install
nvm use
yarn
7) npx nx database:reset twenty-server
8) npx nx start
verdict : 3001 just shows me white screen & check console it gives me errors that I screenshot you before
Solved !! now graphql does not exist so please help on it
after manually adding graphql schema again port 3001 showing only white screen
after doing so many things still stuck here please help
Hi @Nisarg Shah π
The issue is a step 2) docker run --name twenty -e POSTGRES_DB=twenty -e POSTGRES_USER=twenty -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=twenty -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
You should not use twenty as the default postgres user, let's keep it to "postgres"
twenty user will later be created by db init script (automatically run), if you already have a twenty user, this will conflict
make sure to delete your existing volume before re-building your docker containers π
Also, please use the twenty-postgres container that comes with some extensions pre-built:
https://hub.docker.com/r/twentycrm/twenty-postgres
this is the docker-compose we use for production/self-host. You can use the postgres config from there even if you are looking to contribute as contribution almost never touch db setup: https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/blob/main/packages/twenty-docker/docker-compose.yml
Hi @charles you explain me very well first of all Thank you for that
second thing I still not able to setup
after following your setup what I did
I start from the scratch again
1) git clone https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty.git
2) I go to the vs code
3) cp ./packages/twenty-front/.env.example ./packages/twenty-front/.env
cp ./packages/twenty-server/.env.example ./packages/twenty-server/.env
cp ./packages/twenty-docker/.env.example ./packages/twenty-docker/.env
then uncomment some .env files ( attach screenshot of it)
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up --build
4) nvm install
nvm use
yarn
5) npx nx database:reset twenty-server
6) npx nx start
errors :
during migration & not able to connect to the database
I tried a lot to figure out by myself sorry to ask again & again
hope you will understand & help

Looks like you are using two different things here.
Either you want to run the project using docker compose, following this doc : https://twenty.com/developers/section/self-hosting/docker-compose
Either you do a local setup using nvm + npx, following that doc https://twenty.com/developers/local-setup
Here you are doing a mix of both. Please remove your previous setup and choose one of the two above

Thank you @thomast I found where I did mistakes & follow from the scratch again & this time I am able to setup locally.
Great! π
