[Hesat-r]

Hey i would like to test the project and work with it but when i installed all on the node modules on the tasklist site there was written:

info: server started on port 5000 {"timestamp":"2022-03-05 14:50:33"}
Error: Error connecting to db: bad auth : Authentication failed.

then i found the password from the repositories from before and added the password but the screen was white so i found die client folder and also started it from there and installed all repos this was the error when i was trying to register

Proxy error: Could not proxy request /auth/register from localhost:3000 to http://localhost:5000/.

Hi @Hesat-r,
Quick answers:

Why there is a MongoDB connection string?
I use MongoDB to store user sessions that enable a use of user accounts. That way each user of my app can have their own tasks and projects. Connection string is requied to connect to MongoDB. If you want to set up this project in your local machine, you need to create account on MongoDB and configure your own database and connection parameters. It means your own mongoDB <username>, <password>, <cluster-name> and <db-name>. Article by freecodecamp can help you with that.

Proxy error
I don't think that I can help you with this. Maybe you'll resolve it by fixing connection to databases.

There was also a branch with the database. Do i need it?
You need only master-branch. Database-branch is useless for you.

I also didn't find the file to change the postreSQL credentials
Parameters of connections to databases are stored inside .env file. Because it holds secret information, it is not pushed to repository: it is added to .gitignore. You should create one of your own in root directory.

@Hesat-r,
Regarding step-by-step installation, here is a simple guide for you.
Keep in mind, that this project is work-in-progress, and a lot can be changed or function differently in near future.
