Ranger Portal

This portal template is populated from .env.local

The automation works like this:

1. Google form - https://forms.gle/kFYjiegnsRDNscja6

Submission triggers the code to run in this GAS app

2. Google Apps Script - https://script.google.com/u/3/home/projects/18VXOKc_7bvOCCUoif6LMt5tQj7NLqwdmn75eXVc0YxUsYXQ1u3KjR9SA

Running this script hits http://143.198.37.25:3000/deploy with the relevant data

3. Ranger Backend - https://github.com/mito-systems/ranger-backend

Has two endpoints:

• /deploy, used above, which publishes the relevant AppRecords to the Laconic Registry to trigger an app deployment
• /publishRecord, used by this portal app to publish PhotoRecords to the Laconic Registry: https://github.com/mito-systems/ranger-app/blob/main/src/services/laconicService.ts#L42

   NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your-nextauth-secret-key-at-least-32-chars
   
   # OAuth Providers
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-google-client-id
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-google-client-secret
   
   GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your-github-client-id
   GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-github-client-secret
   

2. Create OAuth applications:

   For Google:

   • Go to Google Cloud Console
   • Create a new project or select an existing one
   • Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials"
   • Click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID"
   • Select "Web application" as the application type
   • Add your app's URL to the authorized JavaScript origins (e.g., http://localhost:3000)
   • Add your app's callback URL to the authorized redirect URIs (e.g., http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google)
   • Copy the Client ID and Client Secret to your .env.local file

   For GitHub:

   • Go to GitHub Developer Settings
   • Click on "New OAuth App"
   • Fill in the application details
   • Set the Authorization callback URL to your app's callback URL (e.g., http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/github)
   • Copy the Client ID and Client Secret to your .env.local file

3. Generate a secure NEXTAUTH_SECRET: Run the following command to generate a secure secret:

   openssl rand -base64 32
   

   Copy the output to your .env.local file as the NEXTAUTH_SECRET value.

4. Install required packages:

   npm install next-auth@4.22.1
