Noob friendly setup documentation

Alright, since you are creating it inside of docker you might need to create the 'chess-web'@'172.22.0.1' instead of localhost. I'm taking screen shots now.

[ctfrancia]

I have mysql running on my machine not through anything like docker. No necessary variables needed

[ctfrancia]

ok. I'll get on that this morning

[ctfrancia]

I updated it. If there is anything that isn't clear let me know :)

[akshay-nm]

I'll try it out today.

My go installation was messed up. I was able to fix it. But now I am getting an error:
Error 1045: Access denied for user 'chess-web'@'172.22.0.1' (using password: YES)
I am assuming this is related to the MYSQL setup.
I have added chess-web and test_bcnchess to the user table in my MYSQL docker container. But those are @localhost.
This IP address is different 172.22.0.1. Maybe I need to set up some more environment variables.
I tried using go run ./cmd/web -help but it throws the same error.

[ctfrancia]

yes, if you look at the file db.setup.sql you'll see the SQL queries needed for the test user

[ctfrancia]

sql commands*

[akshay-nm]

I tried executing the file by copying the db.setup.sql file to the container, but I got a few errors.
I'll try the whole thing one more time, I'll attach errors if I get some. 😅

I am just using docker for MySQL server.
The process just fires up a fresh instance of MySQL server on port 3306. Rest of the app just runs on my pc (ubuntu).
Any particular environment variables you use for MySQL server?
Should the IP address of the application be same as localhost by default? Or are you using a different configuration.

I added the 'chess-web@'172.22.0.1' as a user in the database and it seemed to work because now I am getting a different error.
main.go:92: open ./tls/cert.pem: no such file or directory exit status 1

I am using go run ./cmd/web to run the app.

[ctfrancia]

This is because in the ./tls is a where I have my private and public keys. You can create your own self signing certificate to run the https with the following:

1. create a tls folder in the root folder (where you see cmd folder)
2. cd into the tls folder
3. fun the command: go run /usr/local/go/src/crypto/tls/generate_cert.go --rsa-bits=2048 --host=localhost

let me know if this works or not and then I'll update the README

[akshay-nm]

i'll try this

[ctfrancia]
