Backpulse core

Backpulse is an API Based / Headless CMS.
Your site's content is accessible directly via our RESTful API, on any web framework and any device.

Installation

With a correctly configured Go toolchain:

go get github.com/backpulse/core

Usage

First, you need to create a config.json using the config.json.template file.

• URI : MongoDB server address (mongodb://...)
• Database : MongoDB database name
• Secret : A secret key to encrypt JWT
• GmailAddress : A gmail address if you wish to send confirmation emails
• GmailPassword : The password associated with the gmail address obviously
• StripeKey : Your Stripe Key if you wish to integrate Stripe
• BucketName : Your Google Cloud Storage Bucket's name to store user files (images, binaries, plain text...)

You can also pass all these variables as environment variables:

• MONGODB_URI
• DATABASE
• SECRET
• GMAIL_ADDRESS
• GMAIL_PASSWORD
• STRIPE_KEY
• BUCKET_NAME

Note: If a config.json file is found, it will override environment variables.

Then, you need to get your Google Service Account Key:

• Go to this page.
• Create a new account with the Project -> Owner role.
• Download your private key as JSON.
• Move it to the root of this project.
• Rename it google_credentials.json.

You can also pass the content of this json file as an environment variable:

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS = {"type": "service_account", "project_id": "projectID", ...}

You're all set to run Backpulse!

go build -o backpulse && backpulse

Note: By default Backpulse runs on port 8000, but can be overridden with the PORT environment variable.
