# Build Small · Hackathon Field Guide

The field guide and partner directory for the Build Small hackathon — a SvelteKit
site listing each sponsor's models, capabilities, prizes, starter Spaces and
support channels.

## Deployment (Hugging Face Spaces · Docker)

This Space runs as a **Docker SDK** Space. On every push, Hugging Face builds the
[`Dockerfile`](./Dockerfile) and runs the resulting container, which serves the
app on the port declared by `app_port` (`7860`).

The image is a multi-stage build:

1. **build stage** — installs dependencies with `pnpm` and runs `pnpm run build`.
   The app uses [`@sveltejs/adapter-node`](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/adapter-node),
   which emits a standalone Node server at `build/index.js`.
2. **run stage** — installs production dependencies only, copies the built
   server, and launches it as a non-root user (UID 1000, as Spaces requires).

The server reads `PORT` and `HOST` from the environment; the Dockerfile sets
`PORT=7860` and `HOST=0.0.0.0` so it binds correctly inside the Space.

Note: the site is fully prerendered (`prerender = true`), so the Node server is
mostly serving static HTML today. Docker + adapter-node leaves room to add
server-side routes or SSR later without changing the deploy path.

## Local development

```sh
pnpm install
pnpm run dev
```

## Production build

```sh
pnpm run build      # outputs build/ via adapter-node
node build/index.js # runs the server (defaults to PORT=3000)
```

## Build the container locally

```sh
docker build -t build-small .
docker run --rm -p 7860:7860 build-small
# open http://localhost:7860
```
