Warning note

• You need to set up your own email credentials, from which email notifications will be sent. Check models/email.js for the code. As you come up with your email and password, add them to the .env under N_EMAIL and N_EMAIL_PASS variables (keys).

• Make sure you have the MONGODB_URI (MongoDB connection string) in your .env file (in the root folder).

Running with Docker
