Question 1

How do I set up Kitsu locally for development?

Accepted Answer

Install Docker first, then run the bin/setup script from the repository—it validates your Docker installation and guides you through the process. For more detailed instructions, refer to the external wiki linked in the README.

Question 2

Kitsu Tools vs setting up each repo manually?

Accepted Answer

Kitsu Tools simplifies setup by unifying environment configuration across all components, saving time and ensuring consistency. Manual setup offers more control but requires managing each repository separately, which can be error-prone for complex ecosystems.

Question 3

Does Kitsu Tools work on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it relies on Docker, it should work on Windows with Docker Desktop installed, but users may need to ensure Docker compatibility and follow platform-specific guidelines, which aren't detailed in the README.

Question 4

How to get sample data for Kitsu development?

Accepted Answer

After setup, follow the 'Filling the Database' guide linked in the README to import data into your local instance. This typically involves running scripts or using provided database dumps to populate content.

Question 5

What if I only want to contribute to the web part?

Accepted Answer

You can focus on the web repository, but Kitsu Tools sets up the entire ecosystem, so you'll need to run all Docker containers, which might consume more resources than necessary for isolated work.

Question 6

How to update Kitsu Tools or the sub-repositories?

Accepted Answer

Updates likely involve pulling changes from each individual repository and rebuilding Docker containers—check the contributing guide or use standard Git and Docker commands, but the README doesn't specify a streamlined update process.
