There are two options to start server: using mock data that is keeped in memory and using database. By default first variant is used.

If you want to use database:

1. Install docker (Docker for Windows or any variant suitable for your OS)

2. Start DB from prebuild image

docker run -p 6379:6379 --name redis-redisjson redislabs/rejson:latest`

you can also run DB in the cloud for free, see more here: https://oss.redis.com/redisjson/#redis-cloud

3. Change

DATA_FROM_DB=true

in .env file

4. Start server as usual

5. For initial DB fill run while server is up

npm run fill-db
