  3. In the left menu, select Dashboard. Now select Enable API, search for Google+ and select it. At the top of the screen, ensure it's enabled by clicking on Enable.
  4. In the left menu, select Credentials. Then click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID.
  5. Select Web Application. Name is as you wish, but under Authorised Javascript Origins put http://localhost, and under Authorised redirect URIs put http://localhost/auth/google/callback.
  6. Click Create. You will now have a Client ID and Client Secret. In your .env file, put the Client ID as your GOOGLE_CONSUMER_KEY, and the Client Secret as your GOOGLE_CONSUMER_SECRET.

After this, you'll need to create your own .env file. Check out the .env.example file in this repo. From the terminal, you can run cp .env.example .env then edit the .env file with any editor of your choice. There are instruction in this file that you can follow.

Now run sudo docker-compose up. This will run all the containers needed to launch this app, and will take some time to finish.
