Hexit (also known as Listen) is a comprehensive platform designed to connect Musicians, Teachers (Docenten), and Music Companies. Built as part of the Software Engineering II (Software Startup) curriculum, it provides a centralized hub for the music community to network, organize jam sessions, schedule lessons, and share their musical portfolios.

• Role-Based Profiles: Dedicated profiles for Musicians, Teachers, and Companies.
• Media Portfolios: Users can upload and showcase their talent through audio files, videos, and YouTube links.
• Event Management: Create, browse, and participate in music-related events such as Jam Sessions and Lessons.
• Interactive Community:
  • Like and save events.
  • Direct messaging system between users to facilitate collaboration.
  • Instrument tracking and matching for musicians.
• Search Capabilities: Find other musicians, teachers, or events based on specific criteria.
• Admin Dashboard: Centralized management for platform administrators.

• Backend: Java 21, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Spring Web MVC
• Frontend: Thymeleaf (Server-Side Templating), HTML/CSS
• Database: MySQL 8.0
• Containerization: Docker & Docker Compose
• Build Tool: Maven

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.

1. Clone the repository (if you haven't already):

   git clone https://github.com/coolstavo/Haxit-BV.git
   cd Listen

2. Start the containers:

   docker compose up -d --build

   This will build the Spring Boot application and start the MySQL database, the Adminer GUI, and the web application.
3. Access the Application:
   • Web App: http://localhost:8080
   • Database GUI (Adminer): http://localhost:8081 (credentials are in docker-compose.yml)
4. Stop the containers:

   docker compose down

• src/main/java/com/webapp/hexit/: Core Java source code (Controllers, Models, Services, Repositories).
• src/main/resources/templates/: Thymeleaf HTML templates (e.g., jam.html, lesson.html, profile-muzikant.html).
• docker-compose.yml: Orchestrates the Spring Boot app, MySQL database, and Adminer.
• Dockerfile: Multi-stage build for compiling and packaging the Java application.

Developed during the 4th year of the Bachelor HBO-ICT, Software Engineering program for the Software Engineering II: Software Startup course. Demonstrates proficiency in full-stack Java development, relational database design, and modern containerized deployment practices.
