- **docker:** A set of Docker Compose files for deploying the entire solution, making it easy to run Hexabot in any environment.
## Prerequisites
To ensure Hexabot runs smoothly, you'll need the following:
- **Docker:** We recommend using Docker to start the app since multiple services are required (MongoDB, Redis, Prometheus, etc.). All the necessary Docker Compose files are located in the docker folder.

## Installation
1. **Clone the Repository:**
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/hexastack/hexabot.git
```
2. **Environment Setup:** To configure the environment variables, use the Makefile at the root folder for initialization:
```bash
$ make init
```
This will copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` in the `./docker` directory if the file does not already exist.
3. **Running the Application:** Once your environment is set up, you can start the app. Use either of the following commands:
```bash
$ make start
```
or for development mode:
```bash
$ make dev
```
**Note:** The first time you run the app, Docker will take some time to download all the required images.

## Commands
- `make init` : Copies the .env.example file to .env in the ./docker directory if .env does not exist. This is usually used for initial setup.
- `make dev` : Starts all configured Docker services in development mode. It first checks the .env file for completeness against .env.example.
- `make start` : Similar to dev, but explicitly builds the Docker images before starting the services. This target also checks the .env file for required variables.
- `make dev` : Starts all configured Docker services in development mode. It first checks the .env file for completeness against .env.example and builds the docker images locally.
- `make start` : Starts all configured Docker services by loading all images from Docker Hub. This target also checks the .env file for required variables.
- `make stop` : Stops all running Docker services defined in the compose files.
- `make destroy` : Stops all services and removes all volumes associated with the Docker compose setup, ensuring a clean state.
- `make check-env` : Checks if the ./docker/.env file exists and contains all the necessary environment variables as defined in ./docker/.env.example. If the file does not exist, it is created from the example. It also lists missing variables if any.
