A simple yet somehow overdesigned guestbook system featuring a simple control panel (which is a WIP so you'll have to make do with a db manager)
This is phase I of the personal backscratchers project.

And make everyone else see this code. It includes many concepts that are very reasonable to tinker with as learning material, in a bite-sized project complexity that allows me to talk about it without losing the breadcrumb trail. ## π Getting Started These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See [deployment](#deployment) for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system. ## πΈοΈ Prerequisites - .NET 8.0 - A running instance of MongoDB - A Cloudflare turnstile secret key for the captcha - Not forget to set up environment variables You will be able to see in `build/docker-compose.public.yml` that the application makes heavy usage of them. ``` - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production - CORS_ORIGINS=https://guestbook.example.com,http://localhost:5008,http://localhost:8080 - ACCESS_USERNAME=user - ACCESS_PASSWORD=pass - ACCESS_TOKENKEY=pleaseinsertafairlylargetokenkeyherewillyou - ACCESS_ISSUER=https://guestbook.example.com/api - ACCESS_AUDIENCE=https://guestbook.example.com - CLOUDFLARE_SECRET=0x000000000000000000000000000000000 - MONGODB_CONNECTIONSTRING=mongodb://mongouser:mongopass@mongo:27017/Guestbooky - MONGODB_DATABASENAME=Guestbooky - LOG_LEVEL=Debug ``` You will need to set them up either by hand or by using your IDE's capabilities. On Visual Studio, that can be done via the Debug Properties of Guestbooky.API. **CORS_ORIGINS**, **ACCESS_\*** -> variables related to JWT issuing and checking. In order to use the GET and DELETE endpoints for the messages, you need to use a bearer token. **CLOUDFLARE_SECRET** -> The turnstile secret, used in the server portion of the captcha check. **MONGODB_\*** -> Related to the connection to MongoDB. Yeah. **LOG_\*** -> Logging. ## π Usage For local usage of the backend, you can use `docker-compose.local.yml` and edit the fields you need. ## π Deployment Use `docker-compose.public.yml` as a basis. it should create the image for you and start running. ## βοΈ Built Using - [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) - Database - [.NET](https://dot.net/) - Backend - [Cloudflare Turnstile](https://www.cloudflare.com/pt-br/products/turnstile/) - Captcha ## βοΈ Authors - [@cotti](https://github.com/cotti) | [cotti.com.br](https://cotti.com.br)
