Configure Google Sign-In

BookLogr supports Google authentication for account sign-in. To enable it, you will need to set up credentials and apply them to your container environment.

Steps to set up Google Sign-In​

1. Create OAuth Credentials​

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console
  2. Select or create a project.
  3. Navigate to APIs & Services → Credentials.
  4. Set up the OAuth consent screen.
  5. Click Create Credentials → OAuth 2.0 Client ID.
  6. Choose Web application and configure:
    • Authorized JavaScript origin: 
      http://{your-domain-or-ip-of-web}
    • Authorized redirect URI:
    http://{your-domain-or-ip-of-api}/v1/authorize/google
  7. Save and copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
note

Replace {your-domain-or-ip-of-web} with the user facing domain name or IP of your booklogr-web server/container.

Replace {your-domain-or-ip-of-api} with the user facing domain name or IP of your booklogr-api server/container.

2. Configure Environment Variables​

Use your Client ID and Client Secret and set the environment variables accordingly.

tip

See Environment variables for more information.

booklogr-api container​

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret

booklogr-web container​

BL_GOOGLE_ID=your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
note

If BL_GOOGLE_ID is empty or not set, the Sign in with Google button will not appear on the login screen.

Troubleshooting​

Error: Google Sign-In Disabled​

If the Google Sign-In button is disabled this indicates that the provided Client ID is in the wrong format.

Verify Client ID Format

It should match this pattern:

[numbers]-[string].apps.googleusercontent.com
note

If you Client ID does indeed match this pattern and you are still getting "Google Sign-In Disabled", please open an issue.
