Colosimo is a Chicago Boss sample project demonstrating:

• basic templating
• user registration/login form with email validation
• usage of controller's before_
• protected pages
• protected pages redirect url with a querystring
• starting bcrypt using priv/init/colosimo_03_brcrypt.erl module
• password encryption with bcrypt (using erlang-bcrypt)

Before starting Colosimo, make sure to open ../ChicagoBoss/rebar.config and add bcrypt to the list of deps:

{bcrypt, "0.5.0", {git, "https://github.com/smarkets/erlang-bcrypt.git", {tag, "0.5.0"}}}

Once brcypt is added to ChicagoBoss rebar.config, in ChicagoBoss directory execute:

rebar get-deps
rebar compile

That will instruct rebar to download bcrypt into ChicagoBoss deps directory and compile it.

After bcrypt is installed, switch back into colosimo directory and execute:

./init-dev.sh

Then visit http://localhost:8001/ and create a login.

Unlike the upstream of Colosimo, this fork does not use PostgreSQL, instead all data is in memory and during the cold start or restarts, account information gets erased.
