Setup

1. Supabase Project

1. Create a project at supabase.com
2. Go to SQL Editor and run migrations/001_initial_schema.sql
3. Go to Storage and create a bucket called listings with public access
4. Copy your project URL, anon key, and service role key

2. Environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Supabase credentials

3. Run Locally

With Docker:

docker-compose up --build

Without Docker:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn app.main:create_app --factory --reload

4. Seed Data

python -m scripts.seed

5. API Docs

Visit http://localhost:8000/docs (Swagger UI) in development mode.

Deployment

Railway / Render / Fly.io

1. Push to a Git repository
2. Connect the repo to your platform
3. Set environment variables from .env.example
4. Deploy — the Dockerfile handles everything

Production Checklist

• Set APP_ENV=production and DEBUG=false
• Set a strong random SECRET_KEY (64+ chars)
• Configure ALLOWED_ORIGINS to your frontend domain
• Set up Sentry DSN for error tracking
• Configure SMTP for password reset emails
• Enable Supabase RLS policies for direct client access
• Set up Supabase Storage bucket with appropriate policies

Frontend Integration

The frontend should:

1. Store tokens from /auth/login response
2. Send Authorization: Bearer <access_token> on every authenticated request
3. Use /auth/refresh when the access token expires
4. Replace all mock data imports with API calls to the endpoints above

Base URL pattern: ${API_BASE_URL}/api/v1/...
