Authify Service

Authify is an authentication service built using Go, Fiber, and SQLite. It provides functionalities for user registration, login, and JWT-based authentication.

Features

• Fast and efficient authentication service
• Supports user registration and login functionalities
• JWT-based secure authentication
• SQLite database support with both on-disk and in-memory options
• Synchronous API ensuring better performance and concurrency handling
• Rate limiting for request control
• CORS support for secure API access from different origins
• Middleware handling for error logging, request logging, and authentication checks

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/pageton/authify.git
   cd authify
   

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy
   

3. Copy the example environment file:

   cp .env.example .env
   

Database Setup

To apply the schema for the SQLite database, run the following command:

sqlite3 ./db/database/data.db < ./db/migrations/schema.sql

This will create the necessary tables and indexes for your application.

Using sqlc

To generate the Go code from your SQL queries, use sqlc. Ensure that you have the correct sqlc.yaml configuration file.

Run the following command to generate Go code from SQL:

make sqlc-generate

.env Configuration

The .env file contains configuration variables that the project uses. Here are the key variables:

• SECRET_KEY: The secret key used for JWT encryption. You can generate a 256-bit key using OpenSSL:

  openssl rand -base64 32
  

• DATABASE_PATH: The path to the SQLite database file.

• PORT: The port on which the server runs. For Docker or public deployment, set it as 0.0.0.0:3000.

• LIMIT: The maximum number of requests allowed per second (rate limiting).

Example .env file:

SECRET_KEY=your_generated_secret_key
DATABASE_PATH=./db/database/data.db
PORT=:3000
LIMIT=5

Running the Project

Development Mode

To run the project in development mode:

go run ./cmd

This will execute the main.go file located in the cmd folder.

Build and Run

To build and run the project in production mode:

1. Build the project:

   go build -o auth ./cmd
   

2. Run the built binary:

   ./auth
   

Docker Setup

Build the Docker Image

make docker-build

Run the Docker Container

make docker-run

For public deployment, ensure that the port is set to 0.0.0.0:3000 in the .env file.
