pronouns.cc

A work-in-progress site to share your names, pronouns, and other preferred terms.

Stack

  • API server is written in Go with the chi router
  • Persistent data is stored in PostgreSQL
  • Temporary data is stored in Redis
  • The frontend is written in TypeScript with React, using Next for server-side rendering
  • Avatars are stored in S3-compatible storage (MinIO for development)

Development

When working on the frontend, run the API and then use yarn dev in frontend/ for hot reloading.

Note that the Next.js server assumes that the backend listens on :8080 and MinIO listens on :9000. If these ports differ on your development environment, you must edit next.config.js.

Building

Run make backend to build the API server, then run yarn build in frontend/.

Running

Both the backend and frontend are expected to run behind a reverse proxy such as Caddy or nginx.

Every path should be proxied to the frontend, except:

  • /api/: this should be proxied to the backend, with the URL being rewritten to remove /api (for example, a request to $DOMAIN/api/v1/users/@me should be proxied to localhost:8080/v1/users/@me)
  • /media/: this should be proxied to your object storage. Make sure to rewrite /media into your storage bucket's name.

Development

Requirements:

  • Go 1.18 or later
  • PostgreSQL (any currently supported version should work)
  • Redis 6.0 or later
  • Node.js (latest version)
  • MinIO if testing uploads (not required otherwise)

Setup

  1. Create a PostgreSQL user and database (the user should own the database)
    For example: create user pronouns with password 'password'; create database pronouns with owner pronouns;
  2. Create a .env file in the repository root containing at least HMAC_KEY, DATABASE_URL, REDIS, PORT, and MINIO_ENDPOINT keys. (See below for an example)
  3. Run make migrate to initialize the database, then optionally make seeddb to insert a test user.
  4. Run go run -v ./backend to run the backend.
  5. Create frontend/.env with the following content: API_BASE=http://localhost:8080
  6. cd into the frontend directory and run yarn dev to run the frontend.
# Example env file
HMAC_KEY="`go run -v ./scripts/genkey`"
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://<username>:<pass>@localhost/<database> # PostgreSQL database URL
REDIS=localhost:6379
PORT=8080 # Port the API will listen on. Default is 8080, this is also default for the backend.
MINIO_ENDPOINT=localhost:9000 # This always needs to be set, it *does not* need to point to a running MinIO server.
