pli513-project-management

This repository contains the code for a project developed as part of the PLI513 course at the Technical University of Crete (TUC).

Project Overview

This project focuses on the development of a web application, similar to Jira, designed for project management and issue tracking.

The main goal is to demonstrate good software engineering practices in a microservices-based web application. Each service is separated and runs independently to highlight this architecture.

The backend is implemented using Spring Boot, while the frontend is built using Bun.

Bun is used as the JavaScript runtime for the frontend. It serves as a replacement for Node.js and npm, handling dependency installation and frontend build tasks.

Execution

Before running the application, you must configure the environment variables.

1. Fill in the .env.example file and rename it to .env.
2. Generate a secure JWT secret (using openssl is recommended).
3. Configure the MySQL username and password.
4. Set the MongoDB password.

After completing the configuration, ensure that Docker is installed and running. Make sure you are in the directory that contains docker-compose.yml, then run:

docker compose build
docker compose up --quiet

The --quiet flag is optional but recommended to reduce terminal output.

Once the services are running, the application will be available at:

http://localhost:5173/

Pre-installed Users

During development, dummy data were generated for testing purposes, including an Admin user.

The initialization logic can be found in:
