JonathonFry / go-auth

Self contained full stack web app including go backend, postgres db and react+redux frontend

go-auth

Sample website to learn modern web technologies.

Built using docker-compose for easier development/deployment. app|api|db each have their own Dockerfiles and are able to be run independently.

• api is developed using go + gorilla mux
• db is a postgres SQL db
• app is a react + redux web app

To start run: docker-compose up --build

To run with a clean db use: docker-compose rm -f && docker-compose up --build This removes the existing db container and starts fresh

Next steps

• Better validation for JWT token. Ensure that user is still valid
• Autorefresh JWT token so user doesn't have to re-login
• add HTTPS support for better security using Let's Encrypt
