gluestick is NotNet's one stop shop for authentication and account onboarding. It connects Discord and GitHub OAuth to NotNet's LDAP server (LLDAP), manages email inboxes with Migadu, and configures Tailscale ACLs.
gluestick is developed in house by [NotNite](https://notnite.com/) and [skip](https://slice.zone/), written in Next.js.
gluestick makes use of code generation from both `prisma` and `graphql-codegen`. Before you can deploy it, you need to run their CLI tools.
First, install required dependencies:
```shell
npm i
```
Because the LLDAP GraphQL API is locked behind authentication, and of a quirk with `graphl-codegen` configuration files, we need to set a temporary environment variable to generate GraphQL code.
Run the `get-token.js` helper script and set the environment variable from its output:
Because the LLDAP GraphQL API is locked behind authentication, and of a quirk with `graphl-codegen` configuration files, we need to set a temporary environment variable to generate GraphQL code. If not using introspection, you will need a running LLDAP server.
Run the `get-token.js` helper script and set the environment variable from its output:
```shell
node get-token.js
export GRAPHQL_CODEDGEN_AUTH=...
```
Then, generate the GraphQL code:
```shell
npm run graphql-codegen
```
If you want to use introspection, set `GRAPHQL_USE_INTROSPECTION=true` before generating the code. You won't need to set the auth environment variable in this case.
### Working with Prisma
gluestick uses [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/) for accessing the database. If you will be modifying the database schema, you will need to work with it. Consider taking some time to familiarize yourself with the [Prisma CLI](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/command-reference) first.
