# Librakeeper Server

*― A Robust Backend System for a Personal Book Library*

Librakeeper Server is a backend system designed for managing a personal book library. It provides a robust set of
features, including user authentication, book management, bookshelf organization, and advanced search capabilities. The
system is built using a microservices architecture with asynchronous processing, ensuring efficient and scalable
operations.

## Key Features

* **User Authentication:** Secure authentication using Firebase.
* **Book Management:** Add, view, update, and delete books with detailed information (ISBN, title, author, publishing,
description, cover image, and shop).
* **Bookshelf Organization:** Create and manage personalized bookshelves to categorize books.
* **Search Functionality:** Find books by ISBN using simple (local database) or advanced (gRPC-based) search.
* **Microservice Architecture:** Leverage gRPC for efficient communication between the server, searcher, and
searcher-agent microservices.
* **Asynchronous Processing:** Utilize RabbitMQ for asynchronous book searching and processing.
* **Persistent Storage:** Store book and bookshelf data in a MongoDB database.
* **Containerization:** Easy deployment and setup using Docker and Docker Compose.

## API Documentation

For detailed information about the Librakeeper Server API, including available endpoints, data structures, and
authentication requirements, please refer to the comprehensive [API documentation](API.md).

## Architecture Overview

The system follows a microservice architecture, with components communicating via gRPC and RabbitMQ.

## Getting Started

Here's how to set up and run Librakeeper Server locally:

### Prerequisites

* **Go:** [https://golang.org/](https://golang.org/)
* **Docker:** [https://www.docker.com/](https://www.docker.com/)
* **Docker Compose:** [https://docs.docker.com/compose/](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
* **MongoDB:** [https://www.mongodb.com/](https://www.mongodb.com/)

### Configuration

1. **Configuration Files:**
- Configure the server, searcher, and searcher-agent microservices using the provided YAML configuration files (
e.g., `config/server/docker-local.yaml`).
- Update database connection details, RabbitMQ settings, and other relevant parameters in these files.
2. **Firebase Credentials:**
- Obtain Firebase service account credentials (a JSON file).
- Place the credentials file in the `config/server` directory and reference it in the server's configuration
file (`auth.config_path`).

### Installation

1. **Clone the Repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/librakeeper-server.git
cd librakeeper-server
```
2. **Start Services:**
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```

### Running the Server

Once the services are up and running, the Librakeeper Server will be accessible at `http://localhost:8080`.
