This project lets you run Primo on your own server so you have full control over your own data and can edit your sites from any device, as well as invite others to collaborate.

If you're just building websites for yourself, you may prefer just using Primo Desktop. But this project allows you to run Primo in the cloud so that you can access and edit your sites from any device and collaborate with other developers/content editors*, as well as edit them from Primo Desktop.

Primo Server is in Alpha. Features may break from version to version, but probably not enough to delete all your data or anything drastic.

Until we ge to Beta, we can't recommend using primo in production (but it's good enough for personal projects).

This repo deploys primo to Vercel and uses Supabase for authentication, database (PostgresSQL), and storage.

Primo can be run on the free tier of both services (Vercel & Supabase), but you'll need to sign in with Github.

Before deploying your Primo Server, you'll need to sign up for Supabase and create a new project.

1. Create a Supabase account or sign in with Github
2. Create a new project
3. When it's ready, select 'SQL' from the sidebar navigation
4. Click + New query
5. Paste in the contents of ./primo_schema.sql and click 'RUN'
6. Disable Email confirmations (Authentication > Settings > Email Auth)

1. Click this nice button and follow the prompts.
2. Under 'Configure Project', enter your Supabase project URL, Public Key (anon public), and Admin Key (service_role secret) (which you can find in the Supabase project dashboard > Settings > API https://app.supabase.io/project/---yourprojectid---/settings/api)
3. Click 'Deploy'
4. Sign up with an email address and password (this will be the admin account). For now, the server has a single email/password account which can send invitation URLs to collaborators.

1. Disable Signups (Authentication > Settings > Email Auth) to keep internet strangers away from your sites.
