# Postgrest Skeleton

Stack:

* [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) as authentication provider.
* [Let’s Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) as certificate authority.
* [Nginx](http://nginx.org/) as web server.
* [PostgREST](http://postgrest.com/) as API server.
* [Sqitch](http://sqitch.org/) for database migration.
* [PostgreSQL](http://www.postgresql.org/) as database engine.
* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) to containerize.
* [Docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) for orchestrating containers.

## Setting up a server

Assuming an Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 server.

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
	sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D
	echo "deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
	sudo apt-get purge lxc-docker
	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) git curl docker-engine openssl
	curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.6.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/docker-compose > /dev/null
	sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
	sudo service docker start
	sudo docker run hello-world
	docker-compose --version
	sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker
	sudo mkdir -p /srv/live.git /srv/live/certificates /srv/backups
	sudo chown -R :adm /srv/live.git /srv/live /srv/backups
	sudo chmod -R g+rwx /srv/live.git /srv/live /srv/backups
	git init --bare /srv/live.git
	openssl dhparam -out /srv/live/certificates/dhparam.pem 4096
	crontab -e # Add '00 00 * * * /srv/live/make-backup'

git remote add staging staging.example.com:/srv/live.git
	scp post-receive staging.example.com:/srv/live.git/hooks
	nano site.conf
	scp site.conf staging.example.com:/srv/live.git/
	git push staging

## Local testing

docker-compose start

## Staging

source site.conf
	export DOMAIN CERT_EMAIL JWT_SECRET POSTGRES_PASSWORD AUTHENTICATOR_PASSWORD
	alias dc=docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f live.yml 
	dc stop; dc rm -f; dc create; dc start; dc logs

## Production

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f staging.yml  -f production.yml start

## Using

### Staging

### Deployment

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f production.yml start

## Dependencies

Make sure you have a recent version of `docker`, at least version *1.10.0*.

https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/

Make sure you have a recent version of `docker-compose`, at least version *1.6*.

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.6.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/docker-compose > /dev/null
	sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

To recompile the javascript you need [Google Closure](https://github.com/google/closure-compiler).

closure-compiler --language_out ECMASCRIPT5_STRICT --js js/*.js > www/min.js

## Starting

docker-compose up

To start with a clean build

docker-compose stop
	sudo rm -rf data/data
	docker-compose rm -f
	docker-compose create
	docker-compose start

## Raw database access

docker exec -ti -u postgres example_dbm_1 psql -d example -P pager=off

## Dump database for backups

docker exec -ti -u postgres example_dbm_1 pg_dump -a --insert example

## JWT token:

Example token (with signature removed):

```

```

```
{
	"role": "author",
	"userid": "auth0|56dea0b381de292e0cb75965",
	"iss": "https://example.auth0.com/",
	"sub": "auth0|56dea0b381de292e0cb75965",
	"aud": "AZmtkBN5zDGERJesFZGFS8vYJYyZTrDo",
	"exp": 1457486393,
	"iat": 1457450393
}
```

The `role` gets mapped to a PostgreSQL role, `sub` is used to uniquely identify
users.
