+# Developer Setup
+
+Libredesk is a monorepo with a Go backend and a Vue.js frontend. The frontend uses Shadcn for UI components.
+
+### Pre-requisites
+
+- `go`
+- `nodejs` (if you are working on the frontend) and `pnpm`
+- Postgres database (>= 13)
+
+### First time setup
+
+Clone the repository:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk.git
+```
+
+1. Copy `config.toml.sample` as `config.toml` and add your config.
+2. Run `make` to build the libredesk binary. Once the binary is built, run `./libredesk --install` to run the DB setup and set the System user password.
+
+### Running the Dev Environment
+
+1. Run `make run` to start the libredesk backend dev server on `:9000`.
+2. Run `make run-frontend` to start the Vue frontend in dev mode using pnpm on `:8000`. Requests are proxied to the backend running on `:9000` check `vite.config.js` for the proxy config.
+
+---
+
+# Production Build
+
+Run `make` to build the Go binary, build the Javascript frontend, and embed the static assets producing a single self-contained binary, `libredesk`.

+# Installation
+
+Libredesk is a single binary application that requires postgres and redis to run. You can install it using the binary or docker.
+
+## Binary
+
+1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk/releases) and extract the libredesk binary.
+2. `./libredesk --install` to install the tables in the Postgres DB (⩾ 13) and set the System user password.
+3. Run `./libredesk` and visit `http://localhost:9000` and login with the email `System` and the password you set during installation.
+
+!!! Tip
+    To set the System user password during installation, set the environment variables:
+    `LIBREDESK_SYSTEM_USER_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxxxx ./libredesk --install`
+
+
+## Docker
+
+The latest image is available on DockerHub at `libredesk/llibredeskistmonk:latest`
+
+The recommended method is to download the [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk/blob/master/docker-compose.yml) file, customize it for your environment and then to simply run `docker compose up -d`.
+
+```shell
+# Download the compose file to the current directory.
+curl -LO https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk/raw/master/docker-compose.yml
+
+# Copy the config.sample.toml to config.toml and edit it as needed.
+cp config.sample.toml config.toml
+
+# Run the services in the background.
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Setting System user password.
+docker exec -it libredesk_app ./libredesk --set-system-user-password
+```
+
+Go to `http://localhost:9000` and login with the email `System` and the password you set using the `--set-system-user-password` command.
+
+---
+
+
+## Compiling from source
+
+To compile the latest unreleased version (`master` branch):
+
+1. Make sure `go`, `nodejs`, and `pnpm` are installed on your system.
+2. `git clone git@github.com:abhinavxd/libredesk.git`
+3. `cd libredesk && make`. This will generate the `libredesk` binary.

+# Upgrade
+
+!!! Warning
+    Always take a backup of the Postgres database before upgrading Libredesk.
+
+## Binary
+- Stop running libredesk binary.
+- Download the [latest release](https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk/releases) and extract the libredesk binary and overwrite the previous version.
+- `./libredesk --upgrade` to upgrade an existing database schema. Upgrades are idempotent and running them multiple times have no side effects.
+- Run `./libredesk` again.
+
+## Docker
+
+```shell
+docker compose down app
+docker compose pull
+docker compose up app -d
