Setup with login system

• Login using google auth
  • Hardcoded whitelist of accepted accounts
• Start making changes, they are stored in a staging area
• Endpoint: contents.staged.json with both GET & POST
• When you want it to be published, press PUBLISH!
  • frontend could call POST to contents.json
• Optional: save a local copy of contents.json to version control
• Optional: for backup: push to a repo. use restricted token to auth to github
• Add /admin, the javascript router will take care of it, but need to configure nginx to route that to index.html, this might be enough: https://github.com/NBISweden/theherdbook/pull/177/commits/3a909b8c7a4bfa1e5f11715698f2c36314117b33

Setup without login system

we will not do this but saving it for reference

• Artur connects to a dev server (without logging in)
• He edits some of the text fields
• Saves content.json locally

How to get it to prod?

• Artur saves the file to a git repo and pushes
• Github webhook: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/webhooks-and-events/about-webhooks
  • which calls an endpoint on the server.
