Authup

Appearance

Introduction ​

This section will help you to spin up Authup directly on the host system.

Requirements ​

The following guide is based on some shared assumptions:

  • NodeJs v16 (minimum)
  • Min. 2 cores
  • Min. 5G hard disk
  • Up to two available ports (default: 3000 and 3001)

Step. 1: Create a new project ​

Create and change into a new directory.

bash
$ mkdir authup && cd authup
$ mkdir authup && cd authup

Then, initialize with your preferred package manager.

bash
$ npm init
$ npm init

Step. 2: Installation ​

Add this package as dependency to the project.

sh
$ npm install authup --save
$ npm install authup --save

Step. 3: Configuration ​

Follow the instructions for configuring Authup using a configuration file or via environment variables. In case of a configuration file, place it in the root directory.

Step. 4: Boot up ​

Add some scripts to package.json.

json
{
  "scripts": {
      "start": "authup start"
  }
}
{
  "scripts": {
      "start": "authup start"
  }
}

The application setup will be processed on startup, if it has not already happened in a previous execution.

shell
$ npm run start
$ npm run start

The output should be similar to the following:

shell

√ Server: Started
i UI: Starting...
√ UI: Started
i UI: Listening http://127.0.0.1:3000
i Server: Environment: production

  • Frontend (client/web): http://127.0.0.1:3000/
  • Backend (server/core): http://127.0.0.1:3001/
