This project implements a robust User Authentication System, designed to manage user registrations and logins efficiently and securely. It uses Django framework for backend operations, emphasizing security and ease of use.
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/juliusmarkwei/auth-system
- Change current directory to /auth-sustem
cd /auth-system
- Configure the database to any of your choice in the
settings.pyfile. I recommend Supabase database. Specify these variables as follows to connect the database to the application.
Note: It is best practice to put the values for these variables in an.envfile in you root directory.
DB_HOST=your_db_host
DB_USER=your_db_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password
DB_NAME=your_db_name
DB_PORT=your_db_port
DB_ENGINE=your_db_engine
Add your secret key for the project also in the settings.py file. You can generate a secrete key as follow:
from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key
print(get_random_secret_key())
Copy the secrete key and add it to your SECRETE_KEY in your .env file.
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
- Migrate into your new database
python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate
- Set us a superuser account by privode the neccesary credentials
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
- Run the server
python3 manage.py runserver
