About this project

This repository contains access control software for lockers, specifically developed for the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Sul. The solution is built using Node.js as the execution environment and PostgreSQL for data storage. To install the backend, the initial step is to configure the database. This involves creating a user and a database in PostgreSQL, with a strong emphasis on setting a secure password. Once the database is configured, a `.env` file must be created in the project root, defining the `DATABASE_URL` variable with the correct credentials to connect the application to the PostgreSQL database. This software addresses a specific need for physical access management, integrating into an environment that requires security and permission control.
