Startup project

Config DataBase

Before starting the project, ensure PostgreSQL is installed on your system. You can follow the instructions below to set up PostgreSQL and create a database:

For Linux:

Install PostgreSQL:

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S postgresql

Debian Linux:

sudo apt-get install postgresql

Start and enable PostgreSQL:

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

Create Database User and Password

To create a database user and password in PostgreSQL, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the PostgreSQL database server with the postgres user:

sudo -u postgres psql

2. Create a new database user with a password. Replace <username> with the desired username and <password> with the desired password:

CREATE USER <username> WITH PASSWORD '<password>';

3. Grant the user privileges on the database. Replace <database> with the name of your database and <username> with the username you just created:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE <database> TO <username>;

4. Exit the PostgreSQL prompt:

\q

Here's an example:

sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE USER myuser WITH PASSWORD 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE authenticat TO myuser;
\q

Replace myuser with your desired username and mypassword with your desired password. Also, replace authenticat with the name of your database.

For Windows:

You can download and install PostgreSQL from the official website: PostgreSQL Official Website.

Install Kafka:

Before installing Kafka on your Linux system, you need to install Java, specifically JDK. You can use the following commands to install JDK on your Linux distribution:

For Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk

For Debian Linux:

sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

After installing Java, you can verify the installation by running:

java --version

In the next step, you should install Kafka. You can download your desired version from this link and then configure it for your project:

Extract:

tar -xzf kafka_2.13–3.5.0.tgz
cd kafka_2.13–3.5.0

Start:

• Generate a Cluster UUID:

  KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID="$(bin/kafka-storage.sh random-uuid)"
  

• Format Log Directories:

  bin/kafka-storage.sh format -t $KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID -c config/kraft/server.properties
  

• Start the Kafka Server:

  bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/kraft/server.properties
  

• Create a topic:

  bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --topic topic_user_created --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --from-beginning
  

Config Email App Password

To configure the email app password, please follow the instructions provided by Google at the following link: Google Support.

Migrations and Run Server

After configuring the database and email app password, you can proceed with migrations and running the server:

Run migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Run the server:

python manage.py runserver

Docker Support

The project includes a Dockerfile, facilitating the deployment of the application within Docker containers. This simplifies the deployment process and ensures consistent behavior across various environments.

Run

To start Docker, use the following commands:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

after install Docker and Run docker on your ststem, move in project directory and up docker-compose file:

sudo docker-compose up

How to Connect to Frontend:

To connect to the frontend, you can follow these steps:

1. Clone the Frontend Repository:

You can clone the frontend from the Vue.js_authentication repository.

2. Guidance for Setting Up the Frontend:

Refer to the instructions provided in the frontend repository to set up and configure the frontend application.

3. Startup Project:

Once the frontend is set up and configured, you can integrate it with the backend authentication project and start both projects simultaneously.
