The purpose of this project is to learn and document how the diffrent parts of creating an API for production work. This is not meant to be used as a library as it is simply just for learning and exploration purposes.
This is a simple REST API that is built using the Axum framework. This levrages the Tokio runtime for asyncronous operations and the SQLx crate for database operations.
The goal of this project is to make it available as a public API for me to use for my own projects. This will be stuff like websites and other applications that usually interact with an API.
Pre-requisites:
Setup ED25519 keys for JWT token signing.
openssl genpkey -algorithm ED25519 -outform PEM -out ./keys/ed25519_private.pem
openssl pkey -in ./keys/ed25519_private.pem -pubout -out ./keys/ed25519_public.pemInstall docker and build the container.
docker build . -t lerpz-backendStart the container on the desired port.
docker run lerpz-backend -p 3000:3000Optional: bind the keys directory to persist keys used by the JWT module.
docker run lerpz-backend -v ./keys:/app/var/keys:ro -p 3000:3000
