great question! the sqlite stuff does not come over, as you expect

i think where you got confused is that every val town account shares a single sqlite db across all vals, so if you remixed your val, it'll point to those same tables

if you remix a val across user accounts, you start from scratch

Why an iOS app? We strongly believe in 1) leveraging platforms we build for 2) dogfooding as much as we can. With Tuist Previews, we've had the perfect opportunity to provide a native experience to run previews and we couldn't let it pass.

🚀 Step 10: Run the entire stack in Docker

Build and run both the app and the database containers:

🔐 Step 9: Create a new env file for Docker container

This config connects Prisma to the database within Docker. Add the following DB connection string to the new file:

⚙️ Step 8: Set up Docker Compose for app + DB

This lets you manage both services together:

📄 Step 7: Create your Dockerfile

You'll be using Alpine:

✅ Checkpoint: App + DB are working locally!

🔌 Step 6: Run Postgres and apply migrations

Start the DB and initialize the schema:

🐘 Step 5: Set up PostgreSQL with Docker Compose

Create a `docker-compose.postgres.yaml` file:

🧾 Step 4: Add scripts to package.json

These scripts help you run the app and deploy migrations:

🧑‍💻 Step 3: Create an Express server

Set up a simple API in `index.js` to read users from the database:

📦 Step 2: Initialize Prisma and define your schema

🚀 Step 1: Set up your Node.js app

🐳 Spin up a @nodejs + Prisma app inside @Docker

We’ll walk you through how to set up, develop, and run the entire stack. Containerized and ready to ship 👇
