+# Goyco
+
+[![Go Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/Go-1.25.0-blue.svg)](https://golang.org/)
+[![PostgreSQL](https://img.shields.io/badge/PostgreSQL-17-blue.svg)](https://www.postgresql.org/)
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPLv3-green.svg)](LICENSE)
+
+Goyco is a Y Combinator-style news aggregation platform built in Go. It will allow you to host your own news aggregation platform, with a modern-ish UI and a fully functional REST API.
+
+You have the flexibility to personalize the UI with your community’s name, and you can deploy Goyco on your own server, in the cloud or anywhere else you want. The rest of the features is described below.
+
+It's free (as in free beer), open-source and sadly not (yet) fully customizable.
+
+By the way, the web interface is living proof that I'm not a front-end developer — but hey, it loads! Please, don't judge me too harshly.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Technology Stack
+
+It's basically pure Go (using Chi router), raw CSS and PostgreSQL 17.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.25.0 or later
+- PostgreSQL 17 or later
+- SMTP server for email functionality
+
+### Setup PostgreSQL database and user
+
+If you're not using a managed database service or a docker container, we wrote a script to help you setup a local PostgreSQL database along with the `goyco` user.
+
+```bash
+scripts/setup-postgres.sh
+```
+
+It'll prompt you for the password for the `goyco` user and then setup the database and user.
+
+### Installation
+
+In order to install Goyco on your system, you can use the following commands run as root:
+
+```bash
+make
+make install
+cp .env.example /opt/goyco/.env # edit it to add your own parameters
+make migrations
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- Create system user and group
+- Install the binary to `/opt/goyco/bin`
+- Install the static assets to `/opt/goyco/internal/static/`
+- Install the templates to `/opt/goyco/internal/templates/`
+- Install the license to `/usr/share/licenses/goyco/`
+- Install the documentation to `/usr/share/doc/goyco/`
+- Run database migrations
+
+Finally, polish permissions and enable and start the service:
+
+```bash
+chown -R goyco:goyco /opt/goyco
+systemctl enable --now goyco
+```
+
+### Deploy using Docker (compose)
+
+```bash
+# Build the image
+make docker-image
+
+# Run with Docker Compose (from project root)
+docker compose --env-file .env -f docker/compose.prod.yml up -d
+
+# migrate the database
+docker compose --env-file .env -f docker/compose.prod.yml exec app goyco migrate
+```
+
+Once you built the image, you can also run the docker container itself with right environment variables:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name goyco -p 8080:8080 --env-file .env --restart unless-stopped goyco:latest
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Goyco uses environment variables for configuration.
+
+Key settings include:
+
+### Database Configuration
+
+```bash
+DB_HOST=localhost
+DB_PORT=5432
+DB_USER=postgres
+DB_PASSWORD=your_password
+DB_NAME=goyco
+DB_SSLMODE=disable
+```
+
+### Server Configuration
+
+```bash
+SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0
+SERVER_PORT=8080
+```
+
+### JWT Configuration
+
+```bash
+JWT_SECRET=your-secure-secret-key
+JWT_EXPIRATION=1
+JWT_REFRESH_EXPIRATION=168
+```
+
+### SMTP Configuration
+
+```bash
+SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
+SMTP_PORT=587
+SMTP_USERNAME=your-email@example.com
+SMTP_PASSWORD=your-password
+SMTP_FROM=noreply@example.com
+```
+
+Be sure to check `.env.example` for more details.
+
+### Reverse Proxy Configuration
+
+To use a reverse proxy in order to offload the SSL termination (for example), here's a sample nginx configuration:
+
+```nginx
+upstream goyco {
+   server 10.200.1.11:8080;
+}
+
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name goyco.example.com;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/goyco.example.com/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/goyco.example.com/privkey.pem;
+    ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
+    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
+    ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE+AESGCM:CHACHA20';
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://goyco;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Application Settings
+
+```bash
+APP_BASE_URL=https://goyco.example.com # assuming you are using a reverse proxy
+ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
+TITLE=Goyco # will be displayed in the web interface, choose wisely
+DEBUG=false
+```
+
+## API Documentation
+
+The API is fully documented with Swagger.
+
+Once running, visit:
+
+- **Swagger UI**: `https://goyco.example.com/swagger/index.html`
+
+You can also use `curl` to get the API info, health check and even metrics:
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET https://goyco.example.com/api
+curl -X GET https://goyco.example.com/health
+curl -X GET https://goyco.example.com/metrics
+```
+
+You can also use `jq` to parse the JSON responses:
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET https://goyco.example.com/api | jq
+curl -X GET https://goyco.example.com/health | jq
+curl -X GET https://goyco.example.com/metrics | jq
+```
+
+It'll be more readable and easier to parse.
+
+### Key Endpoints
+
+#### Authentication
+
+- `POST /api/auth/register` - Register new user
+- `POST /api/auth/login` - Login user
+- `GET /api/auth/confirm` - Confirm email
+- `POST /api/auth/logout` - Logout user
+
+#### Posts
+
+- `GET /api/posts` - List posts
+- `POST /api/posts` - Create post
+- `GET /api/posts/{id}` - Get specific post
+- `PUT /api/posts/{id}` - Update post
+- `DELETE /api/posts/{id}` - Delete post
+
+#### Voting
+
+- `POST /api/posts/{id}/vote` - Cast vote
+- `DELETE /api/posts/{id}/vote` - Remove vote
+- `GET /api/posts/{id}/votes` - Get post votes
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+Goyco includes a comprehensive CLI for administration:
+
+```bash
+# Server management
+./bin/goyco run                    # Run server in foreground
+./bin/goyco start                  # Start server as daemon
+./bin/goyco stop                   # Stop daemon
+./bin/goyco status                 # Check server status
+
+# Database management
+./bin/goyco migrate                # Run database migrations
+./bin/goyco seed database          # Seed database with sample data
+
+# User management
+./bin/goyco user create            # Create new user
+./bin/goyco user list              # List users
+./bin/goyco user update            # Update user
+./bin/goyco user delete            # Delete user
+./bin/goyco user lock              # Lock user
+./bin/goyco user unlock            # Unlock user
+
+# Post management
+./bin/goyco post list              # List posts
+./bin/goyco post search            # Search posts
+./bin/goyco post delete            # Delete post
+
+# Maintenance
+./bin/goyco prune posts             # Hard delete posts of deleted users
+./bin/goyco prune users             # Hard delete users
+./bin/goyco prune all               # Hard delete all users and posts
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Get the sources
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/sandrocazzaniga/goyco.git
+cd goyco
+```
+
+Note: if you mean to contribute to the project, please fork the repository first.
+
+### Create a `.env` file
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Customize the `.env` file to add your own parameters.
+
+Here's the SMTP configuration for `mailpit` (for development purposes):
+
+```bash
+# SMTP Configuration
+SMTP_HOST=localhost
+SMTP_PORT=1025
+SMTP_FROM=noreply@goyco.xiz
+```
+
+While you're hacking around, be sure to set `SERVER_HOST` and `SERVER_PORT` in order to be able to access the application from your browser. Also, beware of `APP_BASE_URL` parameter.
+
+### Install and manage development dependencies
+
+```bash
+make build-deps
+```
+
+It will start a PostgreSQL database and a [mailpit](https://mailpit.axllent.org/) server in order to test the application.
+
+The web front of mailpit server will be available at `http://localhost:8025` and will allow you to view the emails sent by the application. No matter the recipient, all emails will be captured by `mailpit`.
+
+Once you're done, you can use `make clean-deps` to stop the dependencies and remove the containers and volumes.
+
+### Build the application
+
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+The build process will create the binary in the `bin/` directory.
+
+Then, make the migrations:
+
+```bash
+./bin/goyco migrate
+```
+
+It will create the necessary tables in the database.
+
+### Run the application
+
+```bash
+./bin/goyco run
+```
+
+It will start the application in development mode. You can also run it as a daemon:
+
+```bash
+./bin/goyco start
+```
+
+Then, use `./bin/goyco` to manage the application and notably to seed the database with sample data.
