Provide instructions on test environment or VM (Docker, etc.) for testing environment about stacker.news HOT 4 CLOSED

I've had a few other requests to do this too.

It is a fairly complicated dev setup to do ad hoc (like I do). Docker would probably be best.

Setting up the lightning daemon (or connection thereto) is lower priority than setting up the database and connecting, etc. You obviously have more familiarity with the setup but I suspect there's the possibility of hooking up the database without the lnd connection but with some DB connection.

If true, that allows testing of the features that don't directly depend on the lightning daemon, like API access, RSS feed updates, etc.

You're right, you can run the app without lnd being connected. Off the top of my head, you mostly just need

1. a postgres db
2. an .env file with the DATABASE_URL like

# Environment variables declared in this file are automatically made available to Prisma.
# See the documentation for more detail: https://pris.ly/d/prisma-schema#using-environment-variables

# Prisma supports the native connection string format for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite.
# See the documentation for all the connection string options: https://pris.ly/d/connection-strings

# prisma
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://keyan@localhost:5432/stackernews?schema=public"

3. run prisma migrate dev

For next auth there are other bits. I should for sure document this though.

We now have a dockerized local dev setup.
