A better flightlogger

flightlog.org is a great site. This project is a modern implementation of that webpage with a similar data-model, written in golang

Architecture

Here we use a layered model in order to ensure security. The backend API will basically have two layers

Frontend

• Angular Cli (coming soon)

Backend

• Presentation-layer
• Business (UseCase)
• Datalayer

Project setup

Dependencies

• golang
• git
• dep (golang package manager)

Please also set the GOHOME environment variable should be $HOME/go

Project setup

1. go get github.com/klyngen/flightlogger followed by dep ensure.
2. Generate certificates

openssl genrsa -out fly.rsa 2048
openssl rsa -in app.rsa -pubout > fly.rsa.pub

3. Migrate the database...
4. Add configuraion preferrably to $HOME/.flightlogger/flightlog.yaml

serverport: "61225"
publicKeyPath: "$HOME/.flightlogger/fly.rsa.pub"
privateKeyPath: "$HOME/.flightlogger/fly.rsa"
# Expiration in seconds
tokenexpiration: 3600

database:
   hostname: "canbeempty"
   password: "dbpassword"
   port: "canbeempty"
   username: "dbuser"
   database: "Flightlog"

5. go run main.go
