NOTE: As of 10-06-2022 19:52 IST, I am archiving this repository. It was fun while it lasted.

Instagram clone using MERN stack

This is the backend repo built with Express and MongoDB. If you looking for the frontend repo, click here

At the root of the project, you should have a .env with the following contents

JWT_SECRET=<yoursupersecret>
JWT_EXPIRE=30d // or anything you prefer
MONGOURI=<your_mongodb_connection_uri>

Then run <code>npm i && npm run dev</code> to start the development server

First create an heroku account and install the heroku cli globally and login

npm i -g heroku
heroku login

Once logged in, create a new heroku application and push it to the remote 'heroku'

heroku create
git push heroku master

Then we need to manually setup the environmental variables using the heroku dashboard
