API Deployment Example

Setup

1. Make sure Docker is installed and running
2. Make sure sqlx cli is installed
3. Create a .env file. This file will store environment variables. Specifically, DATABASE_URL and POSTGRES_PASSWORD. It should look like this:

   DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgrespw@localhost:5432
   POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgrespw
   

   NOTE: When deploying the API, make sure to change the default PostgreSQL password.
4. Update docker-compose.yml and change letsgetrusty to your own Docker Hub username.

Run Locally

1. Run an instance of PostgreSQL. This can be done via Docker:

   docker pull postgres
   docker run --name example-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgrespw -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

2. Run SQL migrations:

   sqlx migrate run

3. Start server:

   cargo run

4. Test routes. I like to use Postman.

Run Locally using Docker

1. Run API via Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up

2. Test routes. I like to use Postman.
