Digital Contracting Service (DCS)

The Digital Contracting Service provides an open-source platform for creating, signing, and managing contracts digitally.
Integrated with the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI), it guarantees that all digital transactions are secure, legally binding, and interoperable.
DCS allows organizations to streamline business processes, reduce paperwork, and ensure compliance with eIDAS 2.0 regulations, while fostering trust across federated partners.

Development Quick Start (Rancher Desktop + Helm)

This repository uses Helm-managed dependencies in Kubernetes for local development.

1. Start Rancher Desktop with Kubernetes enabled.
2. From project root, run:

bash dev-stack.sh

This sets up Helm dependencies, prepares backend env and C2PA cert-chain, then starts frontend (Vite) and backend (air).

For step-by-step manual commands and troubleshooting, see deployment/README.md.
