### Setup

Install steps are for Debian 9 (stretch)

1. Install docker-ce
    ```
    # stolen from https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/
    sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
    # verify the key's fingerprint
    # ----------
    sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
        pub   4096R/0EBFCD88 2017-02-22
        Key fingerprint = 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A  E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
        Docker Release (CE deb) <docker@docker.com>
        sub   4096R/F273FCD8 2017-02-22
        # ----------
    sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
    ```

2. Install golang 1.11
    ```
    # stretch doesn't have the latest golang so we install backports
    sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main"
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get -t stretch-backports install golang
    # set the gopath manually for the rest of the setup
    export GOPATH=${HOME}/go
   ```

3. Clone repo and configure the settings
    ```
    mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/git.minhas.io/asara
    cd ${GOPATH}/src/git.minhas.io/asara
    git clone https://git.minhas.io/asara/sudoscientist-go-backend
    # iterate through the environment files in the settings directory and set them appropriately
    # make sure the extension is .env (db.env, secrets.env, website.env... etc.)
    ```

4. Configure docker postgres for testing
    ```
    # make sure your user is in the docker group
    sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)
    # make sure you have some postgres client installed
    sudo apt-get install postgres-client
    docker pull postgres
    docker run --name sudosci-db -e POSTGRES_PASWORD=${DB_ADMIN_PW} -d postgres # please set the db admin pw manually
    # Initalize the postgres DB
    cd ${GOPATH}/src/git.minhas.io/asara/sudoscientist
    for i in settings/*; do source $i; done
    export DB_HOST=$(docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" sudosci-db)
    psql -d postgres -U postgres -h ${DB_HOST} << EOF
    CREATE DATABASE ${DB_NAME};
    CREATE USER ${DB_USER} WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '${DB_PW}';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE ${DB_NAME} TO ${DB_USER};
    EOF
    ```

5. Run the application!
    ```
    cd ${GOPATH}/src/git.minhas.io/asara/sudoscientist-go-backend
    for i in settings/*; do source $i; done
    export DB_HOST=$(docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" sudosci-db)
    go get
    go run main.go
    ```
