Completes DESIGN_RULES §1 so the rest of the Mappe shared components have a full token substrate: - Add --radius-sm/md/full and --shadow-sm/md as first-class :root tokens in layout.css. Radius is theme-invariant; --shadow-sm/md get distinct, stronger dark values in BOTH dark blocks (the @media and [data-theme='dark'] selectors stay in sync) because the light navy-on-sand shadow is invisible on dark surfaces. - Add $lib/shared/avatarPalette.ts: the canonical 10-color person/avatar palette as a single exported constant (single source of truth for <Avatar>, issue #855). Three §5 hues failed the >=4.5:1 white-initials contrast floor and ship as AA-darkened variants (sage #527e61, amber #a46800, sand #897239); the bright hues stay the decorative tag-dot colors in layout.css. Guarded by avatarPalette.spec.ts (length, hex, distinct, WCAG AA). Tag-sand naming and the theme storage key were already correct in layout.css/app.html; this only closed the remaining token gaps. No consumer rewiring (deferred to #855). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Familienarchiv
Familienarchiv is a private web application for digitising, organising, and searching a family document collection — letters, postcards, and photographs from 1899 to 1950. Family members upload scans, transcribe handwritten text (Kurrent/Sütterlin), and read the archive from any device.
Subsystems
frontend/— SvelteKit 2 / Svelte 5 / TypeScript / Tailwind 4 web app (server-side rendered)backend/— Spring Boot 4 (Java 21) REST API; handles documents, persons, search, and user managementocr-service/— Python FastAPI microservice for OCR and handwritten text recognition (HTR); single-node by design — see ADR-001. Not part of the default dev stack (see Quick start below)infra/— Gitea Actions CI/CD config; future home for infrastructure-as-codescripts/— operational and data-pipeline helpers (reset-db.sh,clean-e2e-data.sh, import scripts)
Quick start
Prerequisites: Java 21, Node 24, Docker with the docker compose plugin (V2).
1. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# The defaults in .env.example work for local development without changes.
2. Start infrastructure
# Starts PostgreSQL, MinIO (object storage), and Mailpit (dev mail catcher)
docker compose up -d db minio mailpit
3. Start the backend
cd backend
./mvnw spring-boot:run
# Starts on http://localhost:8080
# API docs (dev profile, auto-enabled): http://localhost:8080/v3/api-docs
4. Start the frontend
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
# Starts on http://localhost:5173
Open http://localhost:5173 — you should see the Familienarchiv login screen.
Default development credentials:
# local dev only — change before any network-exposed deployment
Email: admin@familyarchive.local
Password: admin123
Development setup only. The default
docker composeconfig exposes the database port and uses root MinIO credentials. Do not connect this to a network without first readingdocs/DEPLOYMENT.md(coming: DOC-5, #399).
Running the full stack via Docker (optional)
To run everything including the backend and frontend in containers:
docker compose up -d
Note: the OCR service (ocr-service/) builds its Docker image locally and downloads ~6 GB of ML models on first start. Expect 30–60 minutes on a first run. The rest of the stack starts independently; OCR can be excluded with --scale ocr-service=0 on memory-constrained machines (requires ≥ 12 GB RAM).
