Simple Blog

This repository contains the code that powers my blog: Fake Plastic Trees.

Running Locally

To run the project locally, you’ll need to set up a database and configure environment variables.

1. The application requires a MariaDB server. Create a database and apply the schema located at spec/schema.sql.
2. Set up environment variables based on example.env:
   • Set USER_REGISTRATION_DISABLED to false to enable account creation via http://localhost:8080/register.
   • Provide your database credentials.
   • Fill in the remaining values - all are required.
3. Configure your IDE to use Java 25 and run ee.fakeplastictrees.blog.Application.
