How to build

Install OpenJDK 17
Install maven: https://maven.apache.org/install.html
Setup a database (MariaDB is officially supported)
Setup an email server or use an existing one (any provider with IMAP support should work)
Enter credentials for database server, email server and encryption keys in application.properties
Execute "mvn install" in the root folder

Or you can use Docker and Docker compose. To bring up the server, after setting the required values in src/main/resources/application.properties you can just run below commands:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f

Debugging

Spring Tool Suite / IntelliJ is recommended for debugging
Install lombok for your IDE (Not needed for IntelliJ)
