Working through the auth0 tutorial on authentication in golang.

Authentication Tutorial

I went through this tutorial to learn about JWTs and the Golang net/http package. The original tutorial can be found here.

Building and Running the Project

This project includes a Dockerfile which can be used to build and run the code. You need to have Docker and Golaing installed on your system for the setup to work. First, retrive the project using:

go get https://github.com/cmvandrevala/authentication-golang-tutorial.git

This will add the project under $GOPATH/src/github.com/cmvandrevala/authentication-golang-tutorial. Next, navigate to the project directory and run:

docker build -t="<name of image>" .

where <name of image> is the name that you want to give the Docker image for this app. To run the app, use the following command:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 <name of image>

You can then navigate to localhost:3000 in your browser to view the landing page of this app.

In order to stop the Docker container, run docker ps to get a list of the current running containers. Find the container with an IMAGE of <name of image>, retrieve its Container ID, and then run:

docker stop <CONTAINER ID>
