# journal-lite
A simple journaling app that allows you to write and save journal entries. The goal was to build an entire full-stack, server-side rendered app with one executable.
Built with:
- SQLite / Turso
- Go
- HTMX
- Pico CSS
## Deploy as Container
For a quick deployment, you can run the Docker image from GitHub Container Registry. The container will create its own SQLite database.
```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/calesi19/journal-lite:latest
```
## Installation
1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Calesi19/journal-lite.git
```
2. Build the app
```bash
go build
```
3. Run the app
```bash
./journal-lite
```
## Turso
The app can be used with a Turso database. Setup the database url and authentication token in the environmnet variables.
```bash
export TURSO_DATABASE_URL="libsql://example-database.turso.io"
export TURSO_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN="eyJdlfieale23C34eLSEa223ElaDfa...."
```
## Deploy with Docker
1. Build the Docker image
```bash
docker build -t journal-lite .
```
2. Run the Docker container
```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 journal-lite
```
or run with docker container with Turso database
```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e TURSO_DATABASE_URL="libsql://example-database.turso.io" -e TURSO_AUTHENTICATION="eyJdlfieale..." journal-lite
```
3. Open the app in your browser
