I am working on the implementation of REST services. This should make applications simpler. The 'view' part is handled on the client so the server does not need to spend its resources on that. On the client there is the advantage that it can format the data like the user wants. The problem however is the security. When you know the URL then you can create a script that quickly messes up your database. The 'new' way to protect your REST services is JWT. If you want to use this then you need a service that can provide it. This is how I came to Glewlwyd.
For the installation I choose not to use the version that is delivered by Debian. The version does not support PostgreSQL and installs packages for databases that I do not use. I downloaded the latest .deb package and installed it.
This is the easy part. Now the configuration has to be done.
You can find the work I did on Glewlwyd configuration. It will take some time to finish this page. It is a new journey that I will make.
