Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/SriramChowdaryMogalapu/Portfolio.git
cd Portfolio

2. Install dependencies for the server

npm install express body-parser cors nodemailer

3. Configure environment variables

For security reasons, sensitive information like SMTP credentials should not be hardcoded in your files. Instead:

1. Create a .env file in the root directory:

SMTP_HOST=smtp.elasticemail.com
SMTP_USERNAME=your-email@example.com
SMTP_PASSWORD=your-password

2. Update the config.js file to use environment variables:

require('dotenv').config();

module.exports = {
  smtp: {
    host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
    username: process.env.SMTP_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.SMTP_PASSWORD
  }
};

3. Install dotenv:

npm install dotenv

4. Run the server

node server.js

The server will start on port 3000 by default. You can access the website at http://localhost:3000

Customization

You can easily customize the portfolio by editing the CONFIG object in new-script.js:

• Personal information (name, title, contact details)
• Skills and expertise
• Projects
• Social media links

Security Best Practices

1. Never commit sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens to your repository
2. Use environment variables for all sensitive information
3. Add .env to your .gitignore file
4. Use server-side code to handle sensitive operations like sending emails

Deployment

When deploying to a hosting service like Netlify, Vercel, or Heroku:

1. Set up environment variables in your hosting provider's dashboard
2. Configure the build settings according to your hosting provider's requirements
3. Deploy your application
