The full rewrite of Prosu
This is live at https://prosu.xyz
I learned Go during the summer, and was inspired to rewrite Prosu as my summer project.
The end result is a website that runs faster with only half the RAM usage. (~125MB avg -> ~50MB avg)
To run Prosu, you will need two different types of databases:
- MongoDB (for persistent user data)
- Redis (for temporary user sessions)
Additionally, you will need a variety of environment variables:
| Environment Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
OSU_API_KEY |
API key from osu! | Yes |
ENVIRONMENT |
The environment to run the application in (eg. "production") | No (default: development) |
DOMAIN |
The domain the website will be accessed on | Yes |
CONSUMER_SECRET |
Twitter Consumer Secret Token | Yes |
CONSUMER_KEY |
Twitter Consumer Public Token | Yes |
REDIS_HOST |
Host and port for redis server (eg localhost:6379) | Yes |
REDIS_PASSWORD |
Password for redis login | Yes |
SESSION_SECRET |
Secret key to encrypt cookies | Yes |
NEWRELIC_KEY |
NewRelic License key to send info to NewRelic | Yes if environment is "production" |
ROLLBAR_TOKEN |
Rollbar API token to send errors to Rollbar | Yes if environment is "production" |
MONGO_URL |
MongoDB connection URI | Yes |
PORT |
Port to listen on | No (default: 5000) |
The project's dependencies were vendored with dep. If you have dep installed you can run:
dep ensure
to install the project's dependencies
You can run Prosu for Twitter anywhere, however it was intended to be run on Heroku or Dokku, and includes a Dockerfile that works with both.
