# Go Location Logger
A simple Go program that handles location data sent via HTTP POST requests and inserts it into a MySQL database.
## Features
- Handles JSON payloads containing location data.
- Inserts location data into a MySQL database.
- Supports parameters `device` and `user` in HTTP requests.
## Prerequisites
Before running the program, ensure you have the following:
- Go installed: [https://golang.org/doc/install](https://golang.org/doc/install)
- Docker and Docker Compose installed: [https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
## Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/go-location-logger.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd go-location-logger
```
3. Install dependencies:
```bash
go get -u github.com/sirupsen/logrus
```
4. Create an `.env` file in the project root with your environment variables:
```plaintext
# .env
DB_USER=your_db_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password
DB_HOST=your_db_host
DB_PORT=your_db_port
DB_NAME=your_db_name
```
## Usage
### Running with Docker Compose
1. Create a Docker network:
```bash
docker network create app-network
```
2. Use Docker Compose to start the services:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
3. Access your Go application at `http://localhost:8080`. Make HTTP POST requests as described in the README.md.
4. To stop the services, run:
```bash
docker-compose down
```
### Running without Docker
If you prefer not to use Docker, you can run the Go application directly using:
```bash
go run main.go
```
The server will start on `http://localhost:8080`.
Make a POST request with a JSON payload to `http://localhost:8080/?device=your_device&user=your_user`. The JSON payload should include location data.
Example:
```bash
curl -X POST -d '{"_type": "location", "tst": 1637650367, "lat": 37.7749, "lon": -122.4194, "tid": "123", "batt": 90, "vac": 220}' http://localhost:8080/?device=your_device&user=your_user
```
