|
|
|
The backend is essentially just an account server. There is not much more to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Metrics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The backend exposes prometheus metrics, it can be accessed on `/metrics`.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optionally, there are a few security settings:
|
|
|
|
|
- Recaptcha support, the server can verify Recaptcha v3 tokens on register and login.
|
|
|
|
|
- Ratelimits, Some expensive endpoints have ratelimits, but only when enabled. This requires an additional redis connection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Migrations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run migrations, You can use the command `pnpm migration:up` inside the docker container.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can enabled `postgres.migrateOnBoot` and it will be automatically migrated on boot.
