Twigs Server

This is the backend application that powers the Android, iOS, and web applications for Twigs, a personal finance/budgeting app. None of these apps are complete, so expect bugs, and they are all in various stages of development, so expect some feature disparity between platforms.

Prerequisites

  • JDK 14 or newer
  • PostgreSQL 13 or newer
  • (optional) Docker

Running

Prior to running the app, make sure you have a PostgreSQL server running, with a database and user ready to go. To avoid the hassle of figuring out how to get it installed locally, using Docker is recommended, and a sample docker-compose.yml file is included in the root of the repository. If you already have a PostgreSQL server running, you can run the app from the command line with gradle:

./gradlew run

Configuration

Some parameters of Twigs can be configured via environment variables:

Environment Variable Default Value Note
TWIGS_PORT 8080 Port for web server to listen on
TWIGS_DB_HOST localhost PostgreSQL server host
TWIGS_DB_PORT 5432 PostgreSQL server port
TWIGS_DB_NAME twigs PostgreSQL database name
TWIGS_DB_USER twigs PostgreSQL database user
TWIGS_DB_PASS twigs PostgreSQL database password
TWIGS_PW_SALT Salt to use for password, generated if empty or null
TWIGS_SMTP_FROM From email address for automated emails sent from Twigs
TWIGS_SMTP_HOST SMTP server host for sending emails
TWIGS_SMTP_PORT SMTP server port for sending emails
TWIGS_SMTP_USER SMTP server username for sending emails
TWIGS_SMTP_PASS SMTP server password for sending emails

Building

Building the app is also handled with gradle:

./gradlew shadowJar
