Sasha 3094c92ef3 templates: fix compatibility with pnpm 10 (#10830)
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10813
In pnpm 10 (which isn't "latest" yet), according to the [list of
breaking changes](https://github.com/orgs/pnpm/discussions/8945):
> Lifecycle scripts of dependencies are not executed during installation
by default! This is a breaking change aimed at increasing security. In
order to allow lifecycle scripts of specific dependencies, they should
be listed in the pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies field of package.json

The sharp package uses a script to install native binaries and so our
templates don't run out of the box with pnpm 10.

Payload Blank Template

A blank template for Payload to help you get up and running quickly. This repo may have been created by running npx create-payload-app@latest and selecting the "blank" template or by cloning this template on Payload Cloud.

See the official Examples Directory for details on how to use Payload in a variety of different ways.

Development

To spin up the project locally, follow these steps:

  1. First clone the repo
  2. Then cd YOUR_PROJECT_REPO && cp .env.example .env
  3. Next beta && beta dev (or docker-compose up, see Docker)
  4. Now open http://localhost:3000/admin to access the admin panel
  5. Create your first admin user using the form on the page

That's it! Changes made in ./src will be reflected in your app.

Docker

Alternatively, you can use Docker to spin up this project locally. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from above, the docker-compose file will automatically use the .env file in your project root
  2. Next run docker-compose up
  3. Follow steps 4 and 5 from above to login and create your first admin user

That's it! The Docker instance will help you get up and running quickly while also standardizing the development environment across your teams.

Production

To run Payload in production, you need to build and start the Admin panel. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. First invoke the payload build script by running beta build or npm run build in your project root. This creates a ./build directory with a production-ready admin bundle.
  2. Then run beta start or npm run start to run Node in production and start Payload from the ./build directory.

Deployment

The easiest way to deploy your project is to use Payload Cloud, a one-click hosting solution to deploy production-ready instances of your Payload apps directly from your GitHub repo. You can also deploy your app manually, check out the deployment documentation for full details.
