Mission: Provide Students with the Best Learning Experience

At ClassroomIO, our mission is to provide students with the best possible learning experience. We believe in empowering educators with the tools they need to deliver high-quality education that is accessible, engaging, and effective.

Key Features

1. 📚 Advanced Course Management: You can create unlimited courses, create lessons, invite students, add assignments, grade their assignments, and even generate certificates.
2. 👨‍👩‍👦 Multi-Teacher Management: You can invite other teachers into your organization and assign them individual courses.
3. 🤖 AI Integration: We've got OpenAI integration for quick course creation where you can generate course content, lesson outlines, and even generate assignments right from your lesson notes.
4. 💬 Forum: Students can ask questions in your dedicated community and get answers from either you or other students.
5. 💻 Dedicated Student Dashboard: Once you create an account, you get a dedicated dashboard where your students can access all their courses, assignments, and more.
6. 🔒 Fully open source: You can self-host the entire stack on your servers.

Roadmap Features

1. Forms: Instead of using Google Forms to collect vital information from your students, you will be able to create forms directly within the dashboard.
2. Course Templates: You can clone a full course or share templates with other people.
3. Analytics: You can track data about your students across multiple courses.
4. Run Courses on Messengers: Students can just join a channel on slack/discord/telegram and a bot automatically sends daily lesson content to your students without you doing anything.

Please reach out to me on twitter if you have any feature request.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, please follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

Here is what you need to be able to run ClassroomIO.com

• Node.js (Version: >=20.19.3)
• pnpm
• Docker

Project Structure

This repo is a monorepo that consists of these primary apps:

1. website: The landing page of ClassroomIO hosted here
2. api: The api service that handles PDF, video processing, Emailing and Notifications.
3. dashboard: The web application that runs the learning management system hosted here.
4. docs: Official documentation of ClassroomIO hosted here

The repository also contains shared packages under packages/ (for example packages/db, packages/utils, and packages/ui).

Development

Local Setup

1. Fork the repo, then clone it:

   git clone https://github.com/classroomio/classroomio.git

2. Go to project folder:

   cd classroomio

3. Set up Node (using nvm):

   nvm use

   You first might need to install the specific version and then use it:

   nvm install && nvm use

   You can install nvm from here.

4. Install dependencies:

   pnpm i

5. Set up your .env files:

   • Go to apps/dashboard and apps/api.
   • Duplicate the .env.example file and rename it to .env
   • Populate them with required values (at minimum):
     • apps/api/.env: DATABASE_URL, REDIS_URL, AUTH_BEARER_TOKEN, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET
     • apps/dashboard/.env: PUBLIC_SERVER_URL, PRIVATE_SERVER_KEY, PUBLIC_IS_SELFHOSTED
   • Optional for self-hosted Enterprise-only features (SSO, token-auth, no-tracking): set LICENSE_KEY in apps/api/.env

6. Start local infrastructure for API (Postgres + Redis) and seed the DB:

   docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml up -d postgres redis db-init

   • Connect with DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/classroomio
   • Connect with REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
   • The db-init container runs migrations/seed once Postgres is healthy.

7. (Optional) Start MinIO locally for object storage (media/documents):

   docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml --profile minio up -d minio minio-init

   • Console: http://localhost:9001 (user/pass default minioadmin / minioadmin)
   • S3 endpoint: http://localhost:9000
   • Buckets created by minio-init: videos, documents, media
   • Add to apps/api/.env when using MinIO locally:
     • OBJECT_STORAGE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000
     • OBJECT_STORAGE_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000
     • OBJECT_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY_ID=minioadmin
     • OBJECT_STORAGE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
     • OBJECT_STORAGE_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true
     • OBJECT_STORAGE_MEDIA_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:9000/media

8. Run the local app services in separate terminals:

   pnpm api:dev

   pnpm dashboard:dev

9. Default local URLs:

   • api: http://localhost:3002
   • dashboard: http://localhost:5173

10. Optional: run other apps:

• website: pnpm website:dev
• docs: pnpm dev --filter=@cio/docs

11. Login into dashboard:

    • Visit http://localhost:5173/login
    • Enter email: admin@test.com
    • Enter password: 123456

Enabling the AI Course Assistant

The in-course AI chat (course authoring, plan generation, lesson edits) is disabled by default. Enable it by setting at least one provider API key in apps/api/.env (or the root .env for the Docker stack):

# Pick one or more — the dashboard model picker exposes Gemini 2.5 Flash and GPT-4o.
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...        # enables GPT-4o
GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIza...       # enables Gemini 2.5 Flash (default model in the picker)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... # supported in code; not currently in the picker UI

Notes:

• The GET /agent/status endpoint flips to enabled: true as soon as any of those keys is set, which is what the dashboard checks before showing the AI button on a course.
• Each chat request sends the user-selected model (persisted in localStorage as classroomio-ai-chat-model). The API resolves the provider for that model (packages/utils/src/agent-models) and returns 503 AI_NOT_CONFIGURED if that provider's key is missing.
• Optional Tinybird observability: set TINYBIRD_TOKEN (and optionally TINYBIRD_BASE_URL) in apps/api/.env. Events are silently skipped when the token is absent.
• More detail on architecture, tools, and routes lives in prd/ai-course-assistant [DONE]/README.md.

Docker Compose (Full Stack)

cp .env.example .env   # copy env template, edit for your domain
./run-docker-full-stack.sh

The script reads root .env via docker compose --env-file .env and auto-generates secure values for AUTH_BEARER_TOKEN and PRIVATE_SERVER_KEY when missing.

See .env.example for the full list of environment variables with required/optional grouping, and docker/docs/SELF_HOST.md for the complete Docker self-hosting guide.

Publishing

When cutting releases for hosted assets or the npm MCP package, run:

• Storybook — pnpm --filter @cio/storybook storybook:publish
• Course widget embed — pnpm --filter @cio/embeds embeds:publish
• Question type picker — pnpm --filter @cio/embeds embeds:publish (same script builds and uploads both embeds)
• MCP (@classroomio/mcp) — bump the version in packages/mcp/package.json, then pnpm mcp:build and pnpm --filter @classroomio/mcp publish
