The platform focuses on delivering a secure and user-friendly experience for both travelers seeking unique accommodations and hosts wanting to showcase their listings.

git clone https://github.com/Mahesh20dev/Inngo.git cd Inngo

node app.js

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

To deploy on Render, Heroku, or similar platforms:

• Replace hardcoded port with:

  const port = process.env.PORT || 3000; app.listen(port, () => { console.log(`Server running on port ${port}`); });

• Set environment variables (ATLAS_KEY, SECRET) in the hosting dashboard.

node app.js # Start the server

• If MongoDB Atlas URL or secret is invalid, app won't connect.
• Flash messages rely on sessions; ensure express-session is correctly configured.

You can run Inngo directly via Docker without installing Node.js manually.

# Pull specific version docker pull maheshyc/inngo:1.0

ATLAS_KEY=your_mongodb_atlas_url SECRET=your_secure_secret_key NODE_ENV=production

docker run -p 3000:3000 --env-file .env maheshyc/inngo:1.0

Now open 👉 http://localhost:3000
