+# [Upcomming] Exams
+A Exam tracker that is selfhostable, does not rely on any third party services and is open source.
+
+![Exam Manager Screenshot](https://shx.reversed.dev/u/4DnGHu.png)
+
+Built using RJ-WEB, React router and Tailwind CSS, this little project is fun to develop and is a great way to learn new technologies. It is also a great way to keep track of your exams and never miss a deadline again.
+
+## Features
+- Add exams with a name, date and description
+- View upcoming exams in a list
+- Edit and delete exams
+- Upload Study materials for each exam
+- View past exams and track grades
+
+## Installation (🐳Docker)
+1. Clone the repository
+```bash
+git clone https://gitea.reversed.dev/space/exams
+cd exams
+```
+
+Mini-Warning:
+> Uploads rely on minio, which is not included in the docker-compose file. You will need to set up minio separately and configure the environment variables accordingly. If you are smart enough, add a minio instance into the docker-compose.yml file. Thanks for reading!
+
+2. Configure the environment variables in the `.env` file
+```env
+COOKIE_DOMAIN=localhost # Where is your domain hosted? This is SUPER important!!! If you are running this locally, set it to localhost. If you are running this on a server, set it to your domain name. I do NOT think you can use ip addresses here, you're on your own.
+DB_CONN_STRING=YOURURL # Get a Mongo DB instance running and put the connection string here. You can use a local instance or a cloud service like MongoDB Atlas.
+PORT=8000
+
+CDN_KEY=FunnyKey
+CDN_SECRET=FunnySecret
+CDN_BUCKET=exams
+CDN_HOST=YOURHOST.com # either an ip address or a domain. Whichever you have setup.
+CDN_PORT=443
+CDN_USE_SSL=true # Got a ssl certificate? Set this to true, otherwise set it to false.
+```
+
+3. Start the application using Docker Compose
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+4. Access the application at `http://localhost:8000` (or your configured domain)
+
+---
+
+## Upcoming Features
+- Homework Tracker?
+- Create & Share Classes with other users on the same instance
+- Admin panel for the first created user to manage users and exams (and instance settings like registration)
