Backed for Receipts Archive written in Go. This is a work in progress and project that I use to learn more about full stack development and deployment and fix everyday problems that I have.

Goal is to have an web app that would be used for storing receipts from grocery shopping and see stats about what items are bought the most, where are they bought, how much do they cost and other useful stuff.

It's written in Go so it's very easy to deploy it with Docker or other containerized environments.

This is worked on and tested on a Linux machine so these instructions are confirmed to work for Linux.

To install all dependencies run

$ go mod download

and build the backend run

$ go build -o main

You'll need to set environment variables before running the backend. You can use .env file to store environment variables without specifying them on every execution of the backend.

Here is the list of environment variables and their description.

To run the backend just run the built binary

$ ./main

The SQLite database will be automatically generated when running the backend for the first time.

You can also run this backend inside a docker container. Just pull the image and run it with this command.

$ docker pull dusansimic/receipts-archive-backend
$ docker run -e ... dusansimic/receipts-archive-backend

Other options is to use .env file with the following command.

$ docker run --env-file .env dusansimic/receipts-archive-backend

If you want to deploy this with frontend, you should check this out.
