Welcome to Buffalo

Thank you for choosing Buffalo for your web development needs.

Development Database Setup

The following are instructions for using the Postgres Docker image for your local dev needs.

docker pull postgres:12
docker run --name buffalo-todo-db -e POSTGRES_DB=buffalo-todo-db -e POSTGRES_USER=buffalo-todo-user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$BUFFALO_TODO_DB_PASSWORD -d -p 15432:5432 postgres:12

Note that the database password should be put in a .env file like this,

BUFFALO_TODO_DB_PASSWORD=my_super_cool_password

Starting the Application

Buffalo ships with a command that will watch your application and automatically rebuild the Go binary and any assets for you. To do that run the "buffalo dev" command:

buffalo dev

If you point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000 you should see a "Welcome to Buffalo!" page.

Congratulations! You now have your Buffalo application up and running.

What Next

We recommend you heading over to http://gobuffalo.io and reviewing all of the great documentation there.

Good luck!
