How this project works

Canopy Journal is an original teaching blog in twelve complete snapshots. Clone once and run any numbered folder without rebuilding earlier stages.

The path starts with Adonis and routing, adds Edge and Bootstrap, then introduces isolated Postgres databases. Later parts add sessions, media, ownership, pagination, search, reset tokens, and Railway deploy notes.

Snapshots 4–12 seed ada@example.com and grace@example.com with password123.

Local Postgres runs through Docker Compose on host port 5440 with databases canopy_01canopy_12.
