Dose of Tech: Website

Dose of Tech is the backend and frontend code for a personal blog. This includes features such as:

• Server-side rendering for frontend pages
• User authentication
• Admin panel to manage blogs and users

Usage

Prerequisites

This assumes that you have installed:

• nodejs and yarn (or npm)
• postgres

These instructions are for Linux development environments.

Backend

Once you have cloned the repository, you will need to install the dependencies for the project.

cd doseoftech/backend
yarn install

Create a new postgres database called doseoftech, and create a username and password. Then create a backend/.env file with the following:

DATABASE_USERNAME=<your_username>
DATABASE_PASSWORD=<your_password>

Now start the development environment:

cd doseoftech/backend
yarn develop

Frontend

Once your backend has been configured, now we need to set up the frontend. Install the dependencies for the frontend:

cd doseoftech/frontend
yarn install

Once the dependencies have been installed you can start the development environment:

cd doseoftech/frontend
yarn dev

You can now view the frontend on http://localhost:3000/ and the backend admin panel on http://localhost:1337/admin
