Configuration and Documentation Cleanup

[joneubank]

Description

Running list of issues with setting up the repo for a new dev or administrator deploying this application. This is meant to be notes tracking a list of small changes desired to improve documentation and configuration of the applciation.

Issues

• Config
  • .env.schema has no default values. It should provide placeholder values that will let the app run for a developer that wants to work on the application. The values should be selected to work out of the box with default developer scripts and with the dependencies provided throught the docker-compose (db and dictionary-manager).
  • Env property AUTH_PROTECT_METHODS is unclear. What does "protect" mean. What are the consequences of changing this value? If this is left in the hands of an administrator it needs to be clear why they would choose one value over another. Shouldn't methods be protected based on application logic, not HTTP verb?
