We would love to have contributions from each and every one of you in the community be it big or small and you are the ones who motivate us to do better than what we do today.
Docs aren't perfect and so we're here to help. If you're stuck on setup for more than thirty minutes please feel free to reach out on the #gotrue
channel on the Supabase discord
Please help us keep all our projects open and inclusive. Kindly follow our Code of Conduct to keep the ecosystem healthy and friendly for all.
GoTrue has a development container setup that makes it easy to get started contributing. This setup only requires that Docker is setup on your system. The development container setup includes a PostgreSQL container with migrations already applied and a container running GoTrue that will perform a hot reload when changes to the source code are detected.
If you would like to run GoTrue locally or learn more about what these containers are doing for you, continue reading the Setup and Tooling section below. Otherwise, you can skip ahead to the How To Verify that GoTrue is Available section to learn about working with and developing GoTrue.
Before using the containers, you will need to make sure an .env.docker
file exists by making a copy of example.docker.env
and configuring it for your needs. The set of env vars in example.docker.env
only contain the necessary env vars for gotrue to start in a docker environment. For the full list of env vars, please refer to example.env
and copy over the necessary ones into your .env.docker
file.
The following are some basic commands. A full and up to date list of commands can be found in the project's Makefile
or by running make help
.
Start the containers as described above in an attached state with log output.
make dev
Start the containers with a fresh database and run the project's tests.
make docker-test
Remove both containers and their volumes. This removes any data associated with the containers.
make docker-clean
Fully rebuild the containers without using any cached layers.
make docker-build
GoTrue -- as the name implies -- is a user registration and authentication API developed in Go.
It connects to a PostgreSQL database in order to store authentication data, Soda CLI to manage database schema and migrations, and runs inside a Docker container.
Therefore, to contribute to GoTrue you will need to install these tools.
- Install Go 1.16
# Via Homebrew on OSX
brew install [email protected]
# Set the GOPATH environment variable in the ~/.zshrc file
export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
# Add the GOPATH to your path
echo 'export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
- Install Docker
# Via Homebrew on OSX
brew install docker
Or, if you prefer, download Docker Desktop.
- Install Soda CLI
If you are on macOS Catalina you may run into issues installing Soda with Brew. Do check your GOPATH
and run
go build -o /bin/soda github.com/gobuffalo/pop/soda
to resolve.
go install github.com/gobuffalo/pop/soda@latest
- Clone the GoTrue repository
git clone https://github.com/supabase/gotrue
To begin installation, be sure to start from the root directory.
cd gotrue
To complete installation, you will:
- Install the PostgreSQL Docker image
- Create the DB Schema and Migrations
- Setup a local
.env
for environment variables - Compile GoTrue
- Run the GoTrue binary executable
- Start Docker
- To install the PostgreSQL Docker image, run:
# Builds the postgres image
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml build postgres
# Runs the postgres container
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up postgres
You may see a message like:
Unable to find image 'postgres:14' locally
And then
Pulling from library/postgres
as Docker installs the image:
Unable to find image 'postgres:14' locally
13: Pulling from library/postgres

You should then see in Docker that gotrue_postgresql
is running on port: 5432
.
Important If you happen to already have a local running instance of Postgres running on the port
5432
because you may have installed via homebrew on OSX then be certain to stop the process using:
brew services stop postgresql
If you need to run the test environment on another port, you will need to modify several configuration files to use a different custom port.
- Next compile the GoTrue binary:
make build
- To setup the database schema via Soda, run:
make migrate_test
You should see log messages that indicate that the GoTrue migrations were applied successfully:
INFO[0000] GoTrue migrations applied successfully
DEBU[0000] after status
[POP] 2021/12/15 10:44:36 sql - SELECT EXISTS (SELECT schema_migrations.* FROM schema_migrations AS schema_migrations WHERE version = $1) | ["20210710035447"]

That lists each migration that was applied. Note: there may be more migrations than those listed.
- Create a
.env
file in the root of the project and copy the following config in example.env - In order to have GoTrue connect to your PostgreSQL database running in Docker, it is important to set a connection string like:
DATABASE_URL="postgres://supabase_auth_admin:root@localhost:5432/postgres"
Important: GoTrue requires a set of SMTP credentials to run, you can generate your own SMTP credentials via an SMTP provider such as AWS SES, SendGrid, MailChimp, SendInBlue or any other SMTP providers.
- Then finally Start GoTrue
- Verify that GoTrue is Available
Start GoTrue by running the executable:
./gotrue
This command will re-run migrations and then indicate that GoTrue has started:
INFO[0000] GoTrue API started on: localhost:9999
To test that your GoTrue is up and available, you can query the health
endpoint at http://localhost:9999/health
. You should see a response similar to:
{
"description": "GoTrue is a user registration and authentication API",
"name": "GoTrue",
"version": ""
}
To see the current settings, make a request to http://localhost:9999/settings
and you should see a response similar to:
{
"external": {
"apple": false,
"azure": false,
"bitbucket": false,
"discord": false,
"github": false,
"gitlab": false,
"google": false,
"facebook": false,
"spotify": false,
"slack": false,
"twitch": true,
"twitter": false,
"email": true,
"phone": false,

},
"external_labels": {
"saml": "auth0"
},
"disable_signup": false,
"mailer_autoconfirm": false,
"phone_autoconfirm": false,
"sms_provider": "twilio"
}
To test the admin endpoints (or other api endpoints), you can invoke via HTTP requests. Using Insomnia can help you issue these requests.
You will need to know the GOTRUE_JWT_SECRET
configured in the .env
settings.
Also, you must generate a JWT with the signature which has the supabase_admin
role (or one that is specified in GOTRUE_JWT_ADMIN_ROLES
).
For example:
{
"role": "supabase_admin"
}
You can sign this payload using the JWT.io Debugger but make sure that secret base64 encoded
is unchecked.
Then you can use this JWT as a Bearer token for admin requests.
To create a new user, POST /admin/users
with the payload:
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "12345678"
}
POST /admin/users HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:9999
User-Agent: insomnia/2021.7.2
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_SIGNED_JWT>
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 57
And you should get a new user:
{
"id": "e78c512d-68e4-482b-901b-75003e89acae",
"aud": "authenticated",
"role": "authenticated",
"email": "[email protected]",

"providers": ["email"]
},
"user_metadata": {},
"identities": null,
"created_at": "2021-12-15T12:40:03.507551-05:00",
"updated_at": "2021-12-15T12:40:03.512067-05:00"
}
To create a new user, make a request to GET /admin/users
.
GET /admin/users HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:9999
User-Agent: insomnia/2021.7.2
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR*SIGNED_JWT>
Accept: */\_
The response from /admin/users
should return all users:
{
"aud": "authenticated",

}
]
}
If you need to run any new migrations:
make migrate_test
Currently, we don't use a separate test database, so the same database created when installing GoTrue to run locally is used.
The following commands should help in setting up a database and running the tests:
# Runs the database in a docker container
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up postgres
# Applies the migrations to the database (requires soda cli)
$ make migrate_test
# Executes the tests
$ make test
if you already run PostgreSQL and need to run your database on a different, custom port, you will need to make several configuration changes to the following files:
In these examples, we change the port from 5432 to 7432.
Note: This is not recommended, but if you do, please do not check in changes.
// file: docker-compose-dev.yml
ports:
- 7432:5432 \ 👈 set the first value to your external facing port
The port you customize here can them be used in the subsequent configuration:
// file: database.yaml
test:
dialect: "postgres"
database: "postgres"
host: {{ envOr "POSTGRES_HOST" "127.0.0.1" }}
port: {{ envOr "POSTGRES_PORT" "7432" }} 👈 set to your port
// file: test.env
DATABASE_URL="postgres://supabase_auth_admin:root@localhost:7432/postgres" 👈 set to your port
// file: migrate.sh
export GOTRUE_DB_DATABASE_URL="postgres://supabase_auth_admin:root@localhost:7432/$DB_ENV"
# Command line into bash on the PostgreSQL container
docker exec -it gotrue_postgresql bash
# Removes Container
docker container rm -f gotrue_postgresql
# Removes volume
docker volume rm postgres_data
make deps
go mod tidy

We actively welcome your pull requests.
- Fork the repo and create your branch from
master
. - If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
- If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
- Ensure the test suite passes.
- Make sure your code lints.
- Is there a corresponding issue created for it? If so, please include it in the PR description so we can track / refer to it.
- Does your PR follow the semantic-release commit guidelines?
- If the PR is a
feat
, an RFC or a detailed description of the design implementation is required. The former (RFC) is prefered before starting on the PR. - Are the existing tests passing?
- Have you written some tests for your PR?
Please ensure that an end-to-end test is done for the OAuth provider implemented.
An end-to-end test includes:
- Creating an application on the oauth provider site
- Generating your own client_id and secret
- Testing that
http://localhost:9999/authorize?provider=MY_COOL_NEW_PROVIDER
redirects you to the provider sign-in page - The callback is handled properly
- Gotrue redirects to the
SITE_URL
or one of the URI's specified in theURI_ALLOW_LIST
with the access_token, provider_token, expiry and refresh_token as query fragments
Since implementing an additional OAuth provider consists of making api calls to an external api, we set up a mock server to attempt to mock the responses expected from the OAuth provider.
