Start Preview Server

Start the Next.js development server for local preview.

Steps

Check if dependencies are installed:

[ -d "node_modules" ] || pnpm install

Check if port 3000 is available:

lsof -i :3000 | grep LISTEN

Start development server:

pnpm dev

Report the URL: http://localhost:3000

If Port 3000 is Busy

Suggest alternative:

pnpm dev -- -p 3001

Or kill existing process (with user confirmation):

kill $(lsof -t -i:3000) pnpm dev

Docker Alternative

If Docker is preferred:

docker compose up

Server will be available at http://localhost:3000
