 The [.env](./.env) file contains all the configuration variables. The values set in the `.env` file will override those that are set in the frontend and backend `.env` files for local development. For exemple, the backend app also has a [.env.dev](backend/.env.dev) file which is read to populate the backend's [config](backend/app/config/config.py) module. When the application is run with docker though, the env variables in the projet root's [.env](./.env) file will override the env variables set in the backend and frontend's respective .env files. In order to be able to keep working both with docker and manually, you only have to make sure that the required variables are set both in the root `.env` file, and in the backend and frontend `.env` files.
 
 The `.env` file that is commited to the github repository contains example values which are ok to use for testing and development, but which should be changed when running the application in production (admin passwords, secret keys, client ids, etc.). During deployment in production, the .env file is replaced with one containing the appropriate values.

+## Setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) with google
+
+To setup SSO and enable the `Sign-In with Google` button, you must first obtain a client-id and secret token from Google. Follow [these steps](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2) to obtain client credentials from your [Google Cloud Console](console.cloud.google.com).
+
+Create a new project, and from the `APIs & Services` menu, first create an `OAuth consent screen` for you application, then add an `OAuth 2.0 Client Id` in the `Credentials` menu. Select `Web application` as the application type. In the `Authorized redirect URIs`, add your hostname with the `api/v1/login/google/callback` endpoint. For instance, if testing locally while running the backend app with `uvicorn`, add `http://localhost:8000/api/v1/login/google/callback` (use `http://localhost/api/v1/login/google/callback` if running the application in dev with docker). If your application is hosted on a domain name, add it to the list of URIs (remember to update `http` to `https` when using SSL).
+
+Once you've create a client-id and token in your Google cloud console, copy those into your `.env` file's (either directly in the backend [.env](./backend/.env.dev) or in the root [.env](./.env) if using docker) `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` and `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` variables.
+
+## Setting up automatic build of the docker images in github
+
+The project has a [build workflow](./.github/workflows/build.yml) configuration to build the docker images for production and publish those into your Github package registry. To do this, you must first create a [Github Environment](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-different-environments/using-environments-for-deployment) for your project (call this environment `prod` or update the environment name in the workflow configuration.
+
+You also need to add an environment secret variable `SERVER_ENV_PROD` which should contain the root `.env` file with the variables set for your production environment (simply copy-paste the contents of the env file as the github secret). This secret environment variable will be used by the github workflow to build the docker images with the [docker-compose.prod.yml](./docker-compose.prod.yml) file.
