I recently reworked my personal blog with the Hugo Bear blog theme.
I came across the [creator's (Herman Martinus) blogging site](https://herman.bearblog.dev/) which had this really cool anonymous upvote system.
I wanted something similar and decided to implement it myself.
-The goal is maximum simplicity so that I can use it with my Hugo static site.
-It's directly integrated in [my theme]("https://forge.alexselimov.com/aselimov/hugo-bearcub") which attempts to mimic Herman Martinus' bear blog style.
-I've added steps on how I set it up in my theme [at the bottom of this README](#setting-it-up-with-hugo).
+The goal is maximum simplicity.
+## Important Notes
-## Table of Contents
+This service does NOT have any authentication/authorization, so you should NOT serve this to the public web.
+I'm using this by just serving it on the same VPS as my blog.

-## Actual deployment
-
-Here are the instructions for how I deployed this service. You might be able to just run it through the docker-compose on a VPS but I already had a postgres server set up:
-
-1. Install dependencies (rust/postgres) (For debian server).
-```bash
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib
-```
-2. Create `postgres` user to manage postgres and `upvoters` user to run the app:
-```bash
-# Create the system user that will run the app
-sudo useradd --system --home /opt/upvoters --create-home upvoters
-
-# Create the PostgreSQL role with peer auth (no password needed)
-sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER upvoters;"
-sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE upvoters OWNER upvoters;"
-
-# Enable peer auth for the upvoters role (append to pg_hba.conf)
-echo "local upvoters upvoters peer" | sudo tee -a /etc/postgresql/16/main/pg_hba.conf
-sudo systemctl reload postgresql
-```
-3. Create the votes table as the `upvoters` user
-```bash
-sudo -u upvoters psql upvoters
-```
-```sql
-CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pgcrypto;
-
-CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS votes (
- slug text not null,
- voter_id uuid not null,
- created_at timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT timezone('utc'::text, now()),
- primary key (slug, voter_id)
-);
-```
-4. Download the binary (You can also install rust and build yourself if you prefer). Replace `v0.2.0` with the latest release tag.
-```bash
-sudo curl https://forge.alexselimov.com/aselimov/upvoters/releases/download/v0.2.0/upvoters-linux-x86_64 --output /opt/upvoters/upvoters
-sudo chmod +x /opt/upvoters/upvoters
-sudo chown upvoters /opt/upvoters/upvoters
-```
-5. Create a systemd service at /etc/systemd/system/upvoters.service
-```
-[Unit]
-Description=upvoters rust backend
-After=network.target postgresql.service
-
-[Service]
-User=upvoters
-Group=upvoters
-WorkingDirectory=/opt/upvoters
-ExecStart=/opt/upvoters/upvoters
-Restart=on-failure
-# The below connection string works if you have peer auth enabled and have postgresql running on
-# a socket
-Environment='POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING=postgresql:///upvoters?host=/var/run/postgresql'
-Environment='ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://example.com'
-# Specify a PORT if the default 3000 is already taken
-Environment='PORT=3000'
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-6. Enable and start the service
-```bash
-sudo systemctl enable --now upvoters
-```
-7. Test from VPS using curl
-```bash
-curl https://example.com/api/posts/tests/votes
-```
-
-## Setting it up with Hugo
-
-I set this up in my [Voting Bear Cub Theme](https://forge.alexselimov.com/aselimov/hugo-bearcub/src/branch/main).
-The components are:
-1. Javascript file to handle upvoting. This function is automatically called on page loads
-```javascript
-
-(async function () {
- // Define the slug
- const slug = location.pathname.replace(/^\/|\/$/g, "").replaceAll("/", "-");
- const API = window.UPVOTE_API;
-
- const btn = document.getElementById("upvote-btn");
- const count = document.getElementById("upvote-count");
-
- // On load fetch curent vote count and whether the button should be clicked on or off
- const res = await fetch(`${API}/posts/${slug}/votes`, {
- credentials: "include",
- });
- const data = await res.json();
-
- count.textContent = data.vote_count;
- if (data.voted) btn.setAttribute("voted", true);
-
- btn.addEventListener("click", async () => {
- const alreadyVoted = btn.hasAttribute("voted");
-
- const method = alreadyVoted ? "DELETE" : "POST";
- const r = await fetch(`${API}/posts/${slug}/vote`, {
- method,
- credentials: "include",
- });
-
- if (r.ok) {
- const updated = await fetch(`${API}/posts/${slug}/votes`, {
- credentials: "include",
- });
- const d = await updated.json();
- count.textContent = d.vote_count;
- if (d.voted) btn.setAttribute("voted", false);
- else btn.removeAttribute("voted");
- }
- });
-})();
-```
-2. Button component in single.html template placed after the main post body. **Note:** I guard this behind a config check so users can use my theme without setting up upvoters.
-```html
-{{ if .Site.Params.upvotes }}
-
