next-postgres
This setup is using:
It is for:
- Running a website with users.
- Using Google web browser OAuth.
- Replacing my old work with next-postgres-sequelize.
- Deploying with https://render.com or something like it.
Setup
Step 1
Clone this repository!
Step 2
Create an .env
file at your project root.
CLIENT_ID=GET_ME_FROM_GOOGLE
CLIENT_SECRET=GET_ME_FROM_GOOGLE
JWT_SECRET=74b8b454-29a6-4282-bdec-7e2895c835eb
PASSWORD_SECRET=$2b$10$CVMCvJeC9vco2MwAAlEbBO
- Generate your own
PASSWORD_SECRET
withBCrypt.genSaltSync(10)
. - Generate your own
JWT_SECRET
. - Obtain
CLIENT_ID
andCLIENT_SECRET
from https://console.developers.google.com after you setup your application. - Use
CMD+F
to findREDIRECT_URIS
in~/common/credentials
. Google needs this string for the Authorized redirect URIs setting. The default is:http://localhost:1337/sign-in-confirm
.
Step 3
Enable People API.
Setup: Running the website (OSX)
All steps assume you have Homebrew installed on your machine. You might want to install iTerm since you need multiple terminal windows open as well.
Using another version of Postgres? That may be okay. I use Postgres 11 to share versions with Render but I have tried these steps with Postgres 9 as well.
Installing Postgres 11
Mileage may vary with a different version.
brew uninstall postgresql
brew install postgresql@11
brew link postgresql@11 --force
Installing Node
Make sure NodeJS version 10+ is installed on your machine.
brew install node
Installing nodemon
We use nodemon
to reload the site whenever changes are made locally.
npm install -g nodemon
Installing Node packages
Once you have Postgres and Node, run these commands:
npm install
npm run dev
Run Postgres
In a seperate terminal tab run your postgres version, in this case the command below is referencing Postgres 11.
postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgresql@11 -p 1334
Create a new database
- Start with creating an admin user.
- Finish with creating a database for testing.
# Enter Postgres console
psql postgres -p 1334
# Create a new user for yourself
CREATE ROLE admin WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'oblivion';
# Allow yourself to create databases
ALTER ROLE admin CREATEDB;
# Or just go ham and become a super user
ALTER USER admin WITH SUPERUSER;
# Exit Postgres console
\q
# Log in as your new user.
psql postgres -p 1334 -U admin
# Create a database named: nptdb.
# If you change this, update knexfile.js
CREATE DATABASE nptdb;
# Give your self privileges
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE nptdb TO admin;
# List all of your databases
\list
# Connect to your newly created DB as a test
\connect nptdb
# Exit Postgres console
\q
Setup: Fill database with tables
Run the following commands:
npm run do-setup-database
npm run do-seed-database
View the website
View http://localhost:1337
in your browser.
Setup: Production deploy
Coming soon.
