restful-client

Self RESTful Client

This client is designed to act as a proxy between your app and the Self network. It exposes a RESTful API to interact with the basic features Self has to offer.

⚠ Please note this software is currently under active development and is subject to backwards incompatible changes at any time.

Getting Started

There are a few different ways to run this service depending on what it is you want to do. The easiest method is to use Docker Compose with the example configuration from the repository. If you're looking to contribute back to the project then the Build from source section is for you.

Docker Compose

An example docker-compose.yml can be found in the docker directory at the root of this project.

Add your application ID, secret key and any other changes you require then start the service.

docker compose up

Docker

To run the service directly via Docker amend the environment variables as required and run:

docker run -it \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_JWT_SIGNING_KEY=secret \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_USER=self \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_PASSWORD=secret \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_STORAGE_DIR=/data \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_STORAGE_KEY=secret \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_APP_ID=<SELF_APP_ID> \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_APP_SECRET=<SELF_APP_SECRET> \
  -e RESTFUL_CLIENT_APP_ENV=sandbox \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v restful-client:/data \
  ghcr.io/joinself/restful-client:latest

Note: Replace SELF_APP_ID and SELF_APP_SECRET with your application ID and secret key.
