🔧 Configuration

Keycloak Setup

The application uses Keycloak for authentication. Configure your Keycloak server with:

• A realm for your application
• A client with confidential access type
• Appropriate roles (admin, creator, member)
• Valid redirect URIs

Database Configuration

The application uses MongoDB. Ensure your MongoDB instance is running and accessible at the configured DB_LINK.

CORS Configuration

Allowed request origins are configured via server.corsOrigins in config.json. When omitted, the API falls back to app.urlClient and app.urlElectronClient.

npm run dev

Production

npm start

Docker (if applicable)

docker build -t farmcontrol-api .
