Task 2 - Setup Supabase and Docker

Go back to full Lecture Notes Cursor Course (Udemy)

In this video, we’ll go over task 2 in the generated tasks.

If you had any issues with setting up TaskMaster or if your tasks look slightly different, then just copy and paste the tasks that I have docs.

But by the end of this video, you should have the following setup

Download Docker for your machine https://docs.docker.com/get-started/get-docker/
1. CMD + K → Verify Docker is installed on our machine and running
Download Supabase CLI here https://supabase.com/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started
1. In this project, we don’t need to initialize Supabase since we already have the folder setup.
2. Try to run npx supabase start without Docker running
```
*This takes time on your first run because the CLI needs to download the Docker images to your local machine. The CLI includes the entire Supabase toolset, and a few additional images that are useful for local development (like a local SMTP server and a database diff tool).*
```
3. CMD + K → Verify Supabase CLI is installed on our machine
  1. /Generate Cursor Rules ensure that Supabase commands always use npx
Set the API_URL and anon_key in the app/.env.local so that we’re able to do two things:
1. API URL → So we can call the backend, which is hosted from a Docker container that runs the Supabase database locally.
2. ANON_KEY → Key that says we’re an authorized visitor to the backend.

Expand task 2 and mark it as in progress. Then let’s work on it together. We’re working from a boilerplate, so we already have some Supabase setup.
Continue this until the task is done.
