goAnonPicDB

goAnonPicDB is a simple web service that allows users to anonymously upload images. It is built with Go and uses GORM as the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) library. The images are stored in a MySQL database. It might be a good example for learning how to organize applications with docker and docker-compose.

CI/CD status:

Preview

User interface (web)
Database managing uploaded pictures via filepath (real image data are uploaded to /static)

Feature

• Anonymous image uploading via HTTP communication
• Display of the 6 most recent images (number may be adjusted by user. Go to main.go)
• Count of total uploaded images
• Docker support for easy deployment (via docker-compose.yaml)

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KnightChaser/goAnonPicDB.git
   cd goAnonPicDB

2. (optional) Modify .env for preconfigured environmental variables (will be applied to docker-compose.yaml).

   MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root        # (not used in this service actually)
   MYSQL_DATABASE_NAME=images      # The name of database where image filepath is stored
   MYSQL_USERNAME=knightchaser     # The username of database (actually used)
   MYSQL_PASSWORD=goanonpicdb      # The password of database (actually used)

3. Build and run the Docker containers:

   docker-compose up -d

4. Access the application at http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. And you'll see the web implementation of goAnonPicDB!

To-Do

• Dockerize applications
• Create .env file and manage cross-service environmental variables and constants (Or do the same thing with other methods)
• Complete GitHub CI/CD Integration with GitHub Action for automatic Docker deployment. DockerHub release will be visible at knightchaser/goanonpicdb
