glitch_automata_lab/README.md

CA Lab Studio

This folder contains the CA Lab Studio application: an Express API, Postgres-backed preset/deck data model, React admin interface, and viewer/recorder routes.

The original embeddable GlitchComponent has been moved to the sibling folder:

/Users/jenstandstad/Projects/glitch-components/glitch_voxel_automata

Run Locally

Start the database:

docker compose up -d postgres

Create .env from the local example:

cp .env.example .env

Run migrations:

npm run migrate

Start the API:

npm run dev

In another terminal, start only the admin UI if needed:

npm run admin:dev

Open:

http://localhost:5174/admin/

Deployment Note

Deploy this app, not the sibling GlitchComponent package. See DEPLOY.md.

The production build compiles the Express API to backend/dist and emits the admin/viewer app to backend/public/admin.
