Clone this repo

git clone <repo_url>

mkdir -p ./.keys && cd ./.keys

Generate RSA keys for JWT

On windows use git-bash or wsl

# Generate RSA256 certificate
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -m PEM -f jwt_rsa.key

# Convert RSA256 public key to certificate
openssl rsa -in jwt_rsa.key -pubout -outform PEM -out jwt_rsa.key.pub

Go back to project root

cd ..

⚙️ Running

npm start          # runs `npm run dev`
npm run dev        # runs in development mode
npm run prod       # runs in production mode
npm run prod-stop  # stops in production mode
npm run prod-monit # `pm2 monit` in production

If you're using windows, please ensure that redis-server is running inside wsl before you run any of these commands > wsl sudo service redis-server restart

Production mode uses pm2 cluster-mode for load-balancing
