Karrot is a community platform for sharing resources, coordinating food-saving activities, and organizing volunteers. Groups can manage pickups, track saved food, and communicate through a shared feed.

Dependencies

PostgreSQL - Database for storing groups, users, and activity data
SMTP - For account verification and notifications

Configuration

Key settings in config.yaml:

domain - Where Karrot will be accessible (default: karrot.{your-cloud-domain})
storage - Persistent volume size for uploaded files (default: 2Gi)
redis.host - Redis instance for caching and background jobs (default: app-local karrot-redis)
smtp - Email settings inherited from your Wild Cloud SMTP service

First-Time Setup

Add and deploy the app:

wild app add karrot
wild app deploy karrot

Visit https://karrot.{your-cloud-domain} and register an account. The first user to register becomes the site admin.
Log in and create your first group to start coordinating.

Notes

Karrot supports federation — groups can connect with other Karrot instances
The secretKey and dbPassword are auto-generated in secrets.yaml
Uploaded files (photos, attachments) are stored in the persistent volume and shared between the frontend and backend pods
