Identity MVC

This is a base project application for User Authentication and Autherization in Asp.Net Core MVC with Identity UI.

Technical requirements

• ASP.NET MVC Core 6
• Docker
  • mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 (image)
  • mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 (image)
  • postgres:14.1-alpine (image)
• Google Cloud Platform
  • Cloud Build
  • Cloud Storage
  • Cloud Run
  • Container Registry (Images)
• PostgreSQL
• Entity Framework (including Migrations for versioning)

Migrate Database

This project has been using Entity Framework as an object-database mapper for PostgreSQL. To create a change in database (data or structure) simply follow the commands below:

1. Inside AuthSystem directory
2. dotnet ef migrations add [MigrationName] -o Migrations

After version 1.30 the application initialization was optimized and the entity framework migration stopped to be initialized together with the application. A new API was created, PUT /api/migrations, which triggers now the EF migration. This new API request was included in the continuous delivery last step.

Pipelines

This project contains continuous integration (CI - Github) and continuous deployment (CD - Google Cloud Platform). Basically for all branches, after a pull request is created to master or a push directly into master, a pipeline is trigged which checks all packages, build the solution, and run all unit tests.

On the master branch, there is one more step called 'release' where the pipeline automatically creates a tag and a release inside Github, which also automatically triggers an application deployment inside Google Cloud Platform environment using Docker integration

Manually commands

• Resolve solution dependencies:
  1. dotnet restore
• Build solution:
  1. dotnet build
• Publish portfolio application:
  1. Inside AuthSystem directory
  2. dotnet publish -c [publish mode e.g. Release] -o [destination folder]
• Create local PostgreSQL (inside Container)
  1. Inside AuthSystem directory
  2. docker-compose up -d
