Add any potential domain for the NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_BASE_URL in the file next.config.mjs allowedOrigins like this: -

  experimental: {
    useCache: true,
    serverActions: {
      allowedOrigins: [
        "localhost:3000",
        "https://219z15jv-3000.euw.devtunnels.ms",
        // etc...
      ],
    },
  },

To get the NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, you must go to Google Cloud Credentials, create OAuth 2.0 Client ID, and copy the Client ID, then click on it and add the NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_BASE_URL to the Authorised JavaScript origins.

Deploy schemas

Connect the app to the database and initialize the schemas:-

Open your terminal and run these.

npm run prisma:init
npm run prisma:migrate:dev-reset
npm run prisma:push

npm run dev
OR
npm run prisma:generate

you might also want to grant files mutating premission to your app (to mutate the items' images).

sudo chown -R myuser:myuser public/uploads

Replace myuser with the actual user (your operating system user).
