Provides essentials that most web applications need - MVC pattern and user authorisation that can be easily extended.

It consists of 3 core components:

• Goji - A web microframework for Golang - http://goji.io/
• Gorilla web toolkit sessions - cookie (and filesystem) sessions - http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/sessions
• mgo - MongoDB driver for the Go language - http://labix.org/mgo

Default Project requires Go, MongoDB and few other tools installed.

Instructions below have been tested on Ubuntu 14.04.

If you don't have Go installed, follow installation instructions described here: http://golang.org/doc/install

Then install remaining dependecies:

sudo apt-get install make git mercurial subversion bzr

MongoDB:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
sudo echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

No go to your GOPATH location and run:

go get github.com/elcct/defaultproject

And then:

go install github.com/elcct/defaultproject

In your GOPATH directory you can create config.json file:

{
	"secret": "secret",
	"public_path": "./src/github.com/elcct/defaultproject/public",
	"template_path": "./src/github.com/elcct/defaultproject/views",	
	"database": {
		"hosts": "localhost",
		"database": "defaultproject"
	}
}

Finally, you can run:

./bin/defaultproject

That should output something like:

2014/06/19 15:31:15.386961 Starting Goji on [::]:8000

And it means you can now direct your browser to localhost:8000
