auth

Simple username/password authentication service

The app can be used in two ways.

1. Within other go application. Import package server and mount it on existing http mux on particular entrypoint (for example /auth). Then application becomes bound to particular endpoint
2. Run main.go file what will start up a new server and mount auth to home route /

In order to run properly application needs postgresql database running for storing users and redis server running for storing sessions. In order to send emails (for forget password or verification) it needs to have Mailjet api key provided through environment variables.
