lean-chat-server
Server for lean-chat
Set up the server
Go to dash.deno.com, make an account etc.
Click 'new project' and get the new project to point at main.ts in this repo.
That should be it.
Set up the database.
I chose to use dynamo because it seemed sufficiently cheap if the amount of data is low and I have used it before. There are probably better choices, eg just having a server running somewhere with a sqlite file. Following the setup given in this tutorial.
Our first step in the process is to generate AWS credentials to programmatically access DynamoDB. Generate Credentials:
Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/ and go to "Users" section. Click on Add user button, fill the User name field (maybe use "lean-chat") and select Programmatic access type. Click on Next: Permissions, then on Attach existing policies directly, search for AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess and select it. Click on Next: Tags, then on Next: Review and finally Create user. Click on Download .csv button to download the credentials. Create database table:
Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/dynamodb and click on Create table button. Fill the Table name field with
lean-chatand Primary key withid. Scroll down and click on Create. That's it.
