3DMakers (Phase 1 scaffold)

This repo is set up for a phased build:

• Phase 1: Infrastructure + CMS + basic content (this scaffold)
• Phase 2: Shop / eCommerce (catalog, cart, checkout, orders)
• Phase 3: Interactive tools (STL upload + pricing agent)

What you get in Phase 1

• Dockerized stack: Postgres + Directus (headless CMS) + Next.js web app
• API-first CMS: Directus provides REST/GraphQL + Admin UI
• AI-agent friendly content: scripts/seed-directus.mjs creates the pages collection and upserts content from content/pages.json

Local run (Docker)

1. Start services:

# If you have Docker Compose v2:
#   docker compose up -d --build
#
# If your system uses Docker Compose v1 (common when `docker compose` fails):
docker-compose up -d --build

2. Open:

• CMS: http://localhost:8055 (Directus)
• Web: http://localhost:3000

3. Seed basic content (creates pages and inserts items):

CMS_PUBLIC_URL=http://localhost:8055 \
DIRECTUS_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@3dmakers.local \
DIRECTUS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=change-me \
node scripts/seed-directus.mjs

Then visit:

• / (home)
• /services
• /materials
• /contact

Configuration

• Template: see env.example
• Compose: docker-compose.yml

For production you must set strong values for:

• DIRECTUS_KEY
• DIRECTUS_SECRET
• DIRECTUS_ADMIN_PASSWORD

AI-agent CMS changes (why this works)

Directus is API-first. An AI agent can:

• create/update collections and fields (/collections, /fields)
• create/update content items (/items/...)
• publish content changes without manual UI work

This repo includes one concrete example: scripts/seed-directus.mjs.
