Run the migrations
```bash
yarn db:migrate
```

Migrations need to be run again everytime a new migration is created

### SSL
Create a ssl key and certificate an place them in the root directory

```bash
$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout private-key.pem -out public-cert.pem -sha256 -nodes
```
Where this key will only be used for development you can leave all of the information blank.
