Ensure that you have your .env set up and have created your database

• For local, set the DB_HOST in the .env file as follows:

    $ DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

In the root directory, run the command

$ go run main.go

• Use http://localhost:8080 as base url for endpoints

Docker is the default setting for this project

• Set the DB_HOST as follows in the .env file

    $ DB_HOST=forum-postgres 

For Local Development:

• Create a Dockerfile file in the root directory
• Copy the content of the file: example.Dockerfile.dev (for only local development)
• Create a docker-compose.yml file in the root directory
• Copy the content of the file: example.docker-compose.dev.yml (for only local development)

For Testing:

• Create a Dockerfile.test file in the root directory
• Copy the content of the file: example.Dockerfile.test (for only test)
• Create a docker-compose.test.yml file in the root directory
• Copy the content of the file: example.docker-compose.test.yml (for only test)

For Production (This should be done in the server (AWS, DigitalOcean, etc)):

• Create a Dockerfile file in the root directory
• Copy the content of the file: example.Dockerfile.prod (for production only)
• Create a docker-compose.yml file in the root directory
• Copy the content of the file: example.docker-compose.prod.yml (for production only)

Tests

Without Docker

• Run test for all endpoints

  Navigate to the tests directory and run

  $ go test -v ./...

Using Docker

  If you have set up the Dockerfile.test and the docker-compose.test.yml files above, from the root directory of the app.

  $ docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up --build
