task_manager_go is a tool that helps teams keep track of their work. It runs as a REST API service built with Go. This application organizes tasks for groups and lets members update or check task progress easily.
You do not need technical skills to use it. It connects to common databases like MySQL and Redis and includes tools for security and performance monitoring. The backend is ready for use in work environments and can help teams stay organized and productive.
- Manage tasks with simple commands over the internet
- Supports team collaboration
- Uses MySQL for task storage
- Uses Redis to speed up common operations
- Tracks performance metrics with Prometheus
- Keeps your data safe with JWT-based authentication
- Designed following clean architecture principles for stability
- Runs inside Docker containers (optional)
- Comes with automated tests to ensure quality
- Windows 10 or later
- 4 GB of free memory (8 GB recommended)

task_manager_go connects to databases to save and load your tasks. By default, it expects to find a MySQL database and a Redis server on your local machine. Here is how to set it up quickly.
- Download and install MySQL for Windows from mysql.com.
- Create a new database for tasks.
- Note down the database name, username, and password.
- Download Redis for Windows.
- Start Redis service on your machine.
By default, the app tries to connect to:
- MySQL at
localhost:3306 - Redis at
localhost:6379
If your setup is different, you will need to update the configuration inside the app’s settings file (config.yaml or similar).
If you have Docker installed, you can run task_manager_go inside a container. This makes setup easier.
-
Open Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.
-
Download the task_manager_go Docker image:
docker pull beneficgenuspavo487/task_manager_go -
Run the container:
docker run -p 8080:8080 beneficgenuspavo487/task_manager_go -
The app will start and listen on port 8080.
Access the API at http://localhost:8080.
task_manager_go is an API service. It works by sending requests over the internet to manage tasks. You can use tools like your web browser or software such as Postman to interact with it.
For example, you can:
- Add new tasks
- View task lists for your team
- Change task status (in progress, completed, etc.)
- Delete tasks when they are done
Once task_manager_go runs, use your web browser or any API client to access it.
The API base address is:
http://localhost:8080/api
Try visiting this address in your browser to see if the server responds.
task_manager_go uses JWT tokens to control access.
- To access the API, you must log in with valid credentials.
- The app will give you a token after login.
- Use this token in your requests to prove you have permission.
This app collects performance data using Prometheus. It also checks its own health and availability.
- You can view these reports at:
http://localhost:8080/metrics - Check the system status at:
http://localhost:8080/health
task_manager_go includes automated tests that developers can run. You do not need to run tests yourself, but they help ensure the app stays reliable.
If you open the source folder, you will find:
- API endpoints and logic
- Database connection settings
- Authentication modules
- Docker files
- Scripts for running tests
As a user, you don’t need to change these files.
If you encounter issues downloading, installing, or running task_manager_go, check the release page for support options or documentation. You can also open issues on the GitHub repository for assistance.
