NestJS Boilerplate

📖 Description

Introducing the NestJS boilerplate - a great way to get started on your next Node.js project! It's built using the latest version of NestJS, which is a powerful and flexible framework for creating efficient and scalable server-side applications. The boilerplate includes TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and JWT authentication right out of the box, so you don't have to worry about setting those up yourself.

Other awesome features include configuration support with Dotenv, RBAC and CBAC for authorization, TypeORM for interacting with databases, Swagger for API documentation, and Docker Compose for container orchestration. Plus, the boilerplate also comes with pre-configured linting tools and secure HTTP headers with Helmet.

Getting started is easy - just clone the repository, install the dependencies, and you're ready to start building your next great idea!

Generate SSL certificates

1. Generate an RSA private key, of size 2048, and output it to a file named key.pem:

openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048

# It needs be copied&pasted from terminal manually
awk 'NF {sub(/\r/, ""); printf"%s\\n",$0;}' private_key.pem

2. Extract the public key from the key pair, which can be used in a certificate:

openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public_key.pem

# It needs be copied&pasted from terminal manually
awk 'NF {sub(/\r/, ""); printf "%s\\n",$0;}' public_key.pem
