  • Making Meetable Easier to Install

    January 18, 2020

    I've been working towards making Meetable more useful to others by making it easier to configure and deploy. I took a few shortcuts during the initial development that let me finish it faster, primarily by offloading authentication and image resizing to external services. While that's great for me, it means it requires setting up two additional projects if someone else wanted to get it running.

    Today I made a few changes to make this a lot easier for others to install by removing some of these dependencies.

    Meetable now can handle its own image resizing with no configuration! This is probably slower than using the external go imageproxy project, but this way there is no additional setup needed. I even made it use the exact same API, so you can launch Meetable with the built-in image resizing and switch to the external option later.

    I also added a new option for logging in, so users can log in with their GitHub account now as well. It's actually a global configuration option as to whether you want to use the built-in GitHub authentication or the external authentication option using Vouch Proxy, so it's up to the site administrator which one to support. Thanks to some refactoring I did to make this work, it should also be possible to add additional options in the future, such as Twitter login.

    Thanks to these two changes, you should now be able to install Meetable on a wide variety of hosting options! My next project is going to be getting it ready to deploy to Heroku to make it even more accessible!

    At this point, if you're at least a little familiar with Laravel or Composer, it shouldn't be too difficult to set it up! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
