Developers want to code, not wade through a wall of docs.
This video is designed to slash onboarding time for the Strapi + Next.js monorepo starter. Instead of scrolling through a long “Get Started” section, you watch a five-minute walkthrough that:

  • Refactors the README so its Get Started block is a tiny checklist, not a novel.
  • Shows every command live —clone, install, spin-up—so you can copy-paste with confidence.
  • Proves the DX (hot reload, CMS sync) before you invest more than a coffee break.

Check out the video!

Follow the video and you’ll have a running stack—and the leaner README—by the time it finishes.

Step-by-step shown in the video

  1. Clone the repo
    git clone https://github.com/notum-cz/strapi-next-monorepo-starter.git
    cd strapi-next-monorepo-starter
  2. Meet the prerequisites
    • Node 18 + (via nvm use)
    • Yarn
    • Docker Desktop
  3. Install dependencies  yarn
  4. Generate env files  yarn setup:apps
  5. Spin up everything yarn dev
    Docker launches Postgres + Strapi and the Next.js frontend in one go.
  6. Register the first Strapi admin and confirm containers are healthy.
  7. Add a quick “Hello World” heading in apps/web/app/page.tsx to watch hot-reload in action.
  8. Create a CMS page in Strapi Page Builder, enable the find/findOne permissions, and see the page appear instantly in the site.

That’s it—local Strapi, seeded DB, and live Next.js front-end in minutes, with a slimmer README for the next dev who joins.
