Blog

This is my personal blog site coded with express nextjs and mongodb(for database). You can use this too I will document to you how to run it.

Features

1. Supports markdown with a really good text editor and a lot of features
2. Admin login with auth key system allows only you to login and write blogs and manage them
3. Decent UI
4. And many more!

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Open two terminals and navigate to the backend folder and client folder
3. After that in the client folder go to src/variables and open the vars.js file and edit the "BACKEND_URL" to your own backend url (if it is local host it should be http://localhost:7060) make sure you will not add a '/' at the end
4. After that in the backend at to env variables one called AUTHORIZATION_KEY which will be any strong secure string of text you like and MONGODB_URI which will be your MONGODB database URI
5. then in backend and client folder run node index.js and npm run dev respectively.

Additional notes

1. You might need to change some meta data and text content in the root folder because they have my name in it.
2. For production use I recommend you to use https://vercel.com for hosting and they have a free tier
