3. Run the server with docker-compose

docker-compose up -d

🧪 Testing

1. To use the tests you need to install local module requirements first, to do that, use:

pip install -r requirements/local.txt

2. Run the tests and check the coverage:

pytest -k "not email_configured and not oauth_configured" --cov

3. Generate an HTML coverage report:

pytest -k "not email_configured and not oauth_configured" --cov-report html:cov_html --cov

4. Test the code quality (see if there are any PEP8 errors):

ruff --check .
