Required tooling

• Node.js 24 LTS
• pnpm
• PostgreSQL (local or via Docker Compose)

Optional tooling

• MQTT broker (required for ingestion worker telemetry)
• Docker + Docker Compose (recommended for local DB and broker)
• Python 3 (only if you plan to build or serve MkDocs locally)

Local services (recommended)

Start supporting services via Docker Compose:

docker compose -f compose.dev.yaml up

This gives you a local PostgreSQL instance and any other supporting services defined in compose.dev.yaml.
