# Casera API
|
|
|
|
Go REST API for the Casera (MyCrib) property management platform. Powers iOS and Android mobile apps built with Kotlin Multiplatform.
|
|
|
|
## Tech Stack
|
|
|
|
- **Language**: Go 1.24
|
|
- **HTTP Framework**: [Echo v4](https://github.com/labstack/echo)
|
|
- **ORM**: [GORM](https://gorm.io/) with PostgreSQL
|
|
- **Background Jobs**: [Asynq](https://github.com/hibiken/asynq) (Redis-backed)
|
|
- **Push Notifications**: APNs ([apns2](https://github.com/sideshow/apns2)) + FCM HTTP API
|
|
- **Caching**: Redis
|
|
- **Logging**: [zerolog](https://github.com/rs/zerolog)
|
|
- **Configuration**: [Viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper)
|
|
- **Admin Panel**: Next.js (separate build target)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- **Go 1.24+** — [install](https://go.dev/dl/)
|
|
- **PostgreSQL 16+** — via Docker (recommended) or [native install](https://www.postgresql.org/download/)
|
|
- **Redis 7+** — via Docker (recommended) or [native install](https://redis.io/docs/getting-started/)
|
|
- **Docker & Docker Compose** — [install](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) (recommended for local development)
|
|
- **Make** — pre-installed on macOS; `apt install make` on Linux
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started on a New Machine
|
|
|
|
### Option A: Docker (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
This starts PostgreSQL, Redis, the API server, background worker, and admin panel in containers.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Clone the repo
|
|
git clone <repo-url>
|
|
cd myCribAPI-go
|
|
|
|
# 2. Create your environment file
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# Edit .env — at minimum set SECRET_KEY to a random 32+ char string
|
|
|
|
# 3. Start all services
|
|
make docker-up
|
|
|
|
# 4. Seed the database with lookup data (required)
|
|
docker exec -i casera-db psql -U casera -d casera < seeds/001_lookups.sql
|
|
|
|
# 5. (Optional) Seed test data — creates test users, residences, tasks
|
|
docker exec -i casera-db psql -U casera -d casera < seeds/002_test_data.sql
|
|
docker exec -i casera-db psql -U casera -d casera < seeds/003_task_templates.sql
|
|
|
|
# 6. Verify the API is running
|
|
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The API is now available at `http://localhost:8000`.
|
|
|
|
### Option B: Run Locally (No Docker for the API)
|
|
|
|
Use Docker for PostgreSQL and Redis, but run the Go server natively for faster iteration.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Clone and enter the repo
|
|
git clone <repo-url>
|
|
cd myCribAPI-go
|
|
|
|
# 2. Install Go dependencies
|
|
make deps
|
|
|
|
# 3. Start PostgreSQL and Redis via Docker
|
|
docker compose up -d db redis
|
|
|
|
# 4. Create your environment file
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# Edit .env:
|
|
# - Set SECRET_KEY to a random 32+ char string
|
|
# - Set DB_HOST=localhost
|
|
# - Set DB_PORT=5433 (docker-compose maps 5433 externally)
|
|
# - Set REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
|
|
|
|
# 5. Seed the database
|
|
psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U casera -d casera < seeds/001_lookups.sql
|
|
psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U casera -d casera < seeds/002_test_data.sql
|
|
psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U casera -d casera < seeds/003_task_templates.sql
|
|
|
|
# 6. Run the API server
|
|
make run
|
|
|
|
# 7. (Optional) Run the background worker in a separate terminal
|
|
make run-worker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Option C: Fully Native (No Docker)
|
|
|
|
Install PostgreSQL and Redis natively on your machine.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# macOS with Homebrew
|
|
brew install postgresql@16 redis
|
|
|
|
# Start services
|
|
brew services start postgresql@16
|
|
brew services start redis
|
|
|
|
# Create the database
|
|
createdb casera
|
|
|
|
# Then follow Option B steps 2-7, using:
|
|
# DB_HOST=localhost, DB_PORT=5432, POSTGRES_USER=<your-user>, POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<your-password>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
