cd ghostforge && \
cp .env.sample .env && \
PW=$(/usr/bin/env python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))") /bin/bash -c 'sed -i "" "s/^POSTGRES_PASSWORD=.*/POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$PW/" .env' && \
JWT=$(/usr/bin/env python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))") /bin/bash -c 'sed -i "" "s/^GHOSTFORGE_JWT_SECRET=.*/GHOSTFORGE_JWT_SECRET=$JWT/" .env';
docker-compose up --detach --build;

FAQ

What problem does ghostforge solve?

TODO

What's your roadmap?

TBD

Why did you select MIT? You use GPLv3 in other projects.

While GPLv3 still gives you the right to use, modify, and share this code, I know ghostforge would be useful to researchers and enthusiasts that need to tailor it to niche, particular, or sensitive use cases. Recognizing this, MIT seemed the best fit.
