RCVerse Oauth

Following Lucia Getting Started in Express tutorial

Node >=20 required (or see notes about Oslo installation for Node <20 here)

npm install;

To get your Client ID and Client Secret, go to https://recurse.com/settings/apps, and click 'Create OAuth Application'. Use http://localhost:3001/myOauth2RedirectUri as the Redirect URI.

Then make a copy of config.env.template named config.env and fill in the secrets there. For PostgreSQL, see the Neon section below.

node --env-file=config.env index.js

Fly.io Deployment

OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET and POSTGRES_CONNECTION are set as Secrets inside the Fly App.

When you update those values, you'll need to run fly deploy to use the new versions.

Neon deployment

Sign up for a new account with Neon. Make a new database. Save the PostgreSQL connection string into the config.env variable POSTGRES_CONNECTION as well as in the Secrets section of your Fly App.

Create two tables. Run these two queries separately in the Neon "SQL Editor":

CREATE TABLE auth_user (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY
)

and this one. Note it's different from the Lucia tutorial here in that it includes a refresh_token field:

CREATE TABLE user_session (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    expires_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL,
    user_id TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES auth_user(id),
    refresh_token TEXT

)
