Usage

It is possible to run the service locally or through a Docker container.

1. To run the service locally:

   git clone https://github.com/LetsStreamIt/auth-service.git
   cd auth-service
   npm install
   npm run build && npm run start

2. Using a Docker container:

   1. You can build the Docker image locally:

      docker build -t auth-service .
      docker run -p 3000:3000 auth-service

   2. Or you can pull the image from the GitHub Container Registry:

      docker pull ghcr.io/letsstreamit/auth-service:main
      docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/letsstreamit/auth-service:main

Configuration

If you want to change the default configuration, you can do so by creating a .env file in the root of the project.

The following variables can be set:

Variable	Description	Default
AUTH_SERVICE_PORT	The port of the service	3000
JWT_SECRET	The secret used to sign the JWT tokens	testingsecret
PROFILE_SERVICE_HOSTNAME	The hostname of the profile service	localhost
PROFILE_SERVICE_PORT	The port of the profile service	8080
MONGO_HOSTNAME	The hostname of the MongoDB server	localhost
MONGO_PORT	The port of the MongoDB server	27017

The .env file should look like this:

AUTH_SERVICE_PORT=3000
JWT_SECRET=testingsecret
PROFILE_SERVICE_HOSTNAME=localhost
PROFILE_SERVICE_PORT=8080
MONGO_HOSTNAME=localhost
MONGO_PORT=27017

When running the service locally, the .env file is automatically loaded.

When running the service in a Docker container, you can pass the environment variables using the --env-file flag:

docker run --env-file .env -p 3000:3000 auth-service
