blog

Project 1/20 in this backend roadmap - a personal blog API!

I am extending the project to a full personal blog with a UI to get experience with Angular.

Goals:

• I'd like to use some new technologies.
• For frontend: AngularJS, Angular MaterialUI
• For backend: NestJS, Redis for caching
• Deployment: https://render.com/
• I do not think this app will require load balancing, but in a future project, I'd like to try working with pm2

How to use:

• It's been setup with Docker so that firing up the app is easy peasy
• Clone the repo
• Inside the backend folder, create a .env file
• Insert the following values into your .env file:

POSTGRES_USER=<some_value> \ POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<some_value> \ POSTGRES_DB=<some_value> \ DATABASE_HOST=<some_value> \ DATABASE_PORT=<some_value> \ DATABASE_USER=<some_value> \ DATABASE_PASSWORD=<some_value> \ DATABASE_NAME=<some_value>

Substitute with whatever values you would like.

• Run docker-compose up --build
