posts, interact with other users, and exchange messages.\n\n**This repo contains the backend code, for the frontend part refer [here](https://github.com/detronetdip/tello-client).**\n\n## Technologies Used\n\n- **Frontend**:\n  - React\n  - Vite\n  - Apollo GraphQL\n  - TypeScript\n  - Recoil\n  - IndexedDB\n- **Backend**:\n  - Node.js\n  - Express.js\n  - Redis\n  - RabbitMQ\n  - PostgreSQL\n  - GraphQL\n  - Socket.IO\n- **Deployment**:\n  - Docker\n\n## Features\n\n- User authentication and signup using access and refress token with token versioning\n- Post creation,Generation, browsing, and engagement (likes, comments)\n- Direct messaging between users.\n- Unique Message Storage: Messages are never stored in a database; instead, they are directly stored on the client-side. This approach ensures privacy as only the two clients engaged in a conversation can access the messages and once they close the app it will be vanished. This feature is made possible by leveraging Redis, RabbitMQ, Socket.IO, and IndexedDB.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nTo run the Tello application locally, please follow the steps below:\n\n### Prerequisites\n\nEnsure that you have the following software installed on your machine:\n\n- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (version 14 or higher)\n- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)\n\n### Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/detronetdip/tello-server\n```\n\n2. Start the required containers using Docker Compose:\n\n```bash\ncd tello-server\ndocker-compose up -d\n```\n\nThis command launches the necessary containers for the database, caching, and RabbitMQ.\n\n3. Configure the environment variables:\n\n   - Duplicate the .env.example file and rename it to .env.\n   - Fill in the accurate data for the environment variables specified in the file.\n\n4. Install dependencies and start the backend server:\n\n```bash\ncd [server name]\nnpm install\nnpm start\n```\n\n5. Install dependencies and start the frontend development server\n\n   - Clone the [frontend](https://github.com/detronetdip/tello-client)\n   - Run below commands\n     ```\n     cd tello-client\n     npm install\n     npm run dev\n     ```\n\n6. Access the Tello application in your browser at `http://localhost:5172`\n\n### Usage\n\n- Sign up for a new account or log in with your existing account.\n- search and follow your friends.\n- Explore posts from other users, like and comment on them.\n- Use the direct messaging feature to communicate privately with other users.\n\n### License\n\nThis project is licensed under the [MIT License](/LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdetronetdip%2Ftello-server","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdetronetdip%2Ftello-server","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdetronetdip%2Ftello-server/lists"}
