Wait a few minutes until all the containers are up and running

Access the website at http://localhost once nginx is up

http://localhost/pgadmin4 for pgadmin
http://localhost:9090/browser/byte-blog-bucket for accessing all static files stored in minio

Note

Make sure you update all secrets for mail and oauth2 (in .env) to enable these services
Refer README.md on how to configure Oauth2 and Email providers.
