Unable to find configuration file

Hello!
I’m neurodivergent, and fairly new to all of this and I can be very literal, especially when starting something brand new. This often causes issues when there are steps that most people would see as obvious and would perform intuitively. I’m editing this as I figure things out, hopefully this info can be used to clarify some steps for other users.

Im on windows, running docker desktop. I followed the steps from the github page to get it set up. Using the docker desktops built in terminal I ran this command: docker build . --target bolt-ai-development followed by the docker-compose --profile development up

I got an error that there is no configuration file.

Am I supposed to create a project folder first? Do I need a dockerfile in the new project folder? But neither are mentioned in setup, so I am at a loss.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit:
I created a project folder and cloned the repo, which to me feels counter intuitive since with my limited experience since I had this notion that all of that was contained in the docker image and therefore no needed to replicate on my local machine.

Am I correct to assume that Node is at least in part a go between for docker and chrome?
The next step is very vague, it simply says to: 1. Open the home page (main interface)

Welcome @10hzhuman,

use the docs website and not the github readme pls:
https://stackblitz-labs.github.io/bolt.diy/
(also linked as first link within github readme)

Steps you need to do:

  • Install GIT (if not already done)
  • Clone the repository
  • go into the directory (cd bolt.diy)
  • run the docker commands
    => build: docker build . --target bolt-ai-development
    => run: docker-compose --profile development up

=> this is needed, because we dont provide a ready to use docker-image on docker-hub. If we would provide it officially in docker-hub, then you were right and could just run it from there.
=> for now its needed to build the docker-image yourself

I dont understand this senctence/question, sry. Can you rephrase it?

As you can see in the terminal, you can just open the provided url
