Novum is a modern video sharing platform built with Next.js, NestJS, and TypeScript. It allows users to upload, view, and interact with videos in a user-friendly interface.

Platform uses HLS streaming for better experience. I'm transcoding videos to multiple qualities, creating HLS playlists and segments, and enabling adaptive streaming.

This project is set up as a monorepo using npm workspaces. It consists of the following packages:

• packages/frontend: Next.js-based frontend application
• packages/backend: NestJS-based backend API
• packages/shared: Shared types and utilities used by both frontend and backend

• Node.js (v18 or later)
• Docker and Docker Compose (for running the database and other services)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/chetanxpro/novum.git
   cd novum
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Set up environment variables:

   • Copy .env.example to .env in both packages/frontend and packages/backend
   • Fill in the necessary environment variables

4. Start the development servers:

   npm run dev
   

   This will start both the frontend and backend in development mode.

5. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the application running.
