ReLIFE Technical Service

Introduction

The ReLIFE Technical Service provides tools for estimating renovation costs, forecasting post-renovation property value, and evaluating long-term energy and economic savings.

Technology Stack

• Python 3+: Core programming language
• FastAPI: Web framework for building APIs with automatic OpenAPI documentation
• Uvicorn: ASGI server for running the FastAPI application
• Pydantic: Data validation and settings management using Python type annotations
• Supabase: Backend-as-a-Service providing database operations and storage
• Keycloak: Identity and access management for authentication and authorization
• HTTPX: HTTP client library for making requests
• Rich: Terminal output formatting and styling
• Pytest: Testing framework with async support

Configuration

All configuration is driven by environment variables:

Category	Variable	Description	Default Value
Server	API_HOST	Host address for the API server	0.0.0.0
	API_PORT	Port for the API server	9090
Supabase	SUPABASE_URL	URL of the Supabase instance	-
	SUPABASE_KEY	Service role key with admin privileges	-
Keycloak	KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID	Client ID for the application in Keycloak	-
	KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET	Client secret for the application in Keycloak	-
	KEYCLOAK_REALM_URL	Base URL of the Keycloak realm for authentication	https://relife-identity.test.ctic.es/realms/relife
Roles	ADMIN_ROLE_NAME	Name of the admin role used for permission checks	relife_admin
Storage	BUCKET_NAME	Name of the default storage bucket in Supabase	default_relife_bucket

Warning

• The SUPABASE_KEY uses the service role key that bypasses Row Level Security (RLS) policies. This should never be exposed to clients.
• KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET is sensitive and should be properly secured in production environments.

Authentication Integration Validation

This template includes a validation script to test authentication integration with remote Supabase and Keycloak instances. This tool helps you verify your configuration and troubleshoot authentication issues.

Usage

uv run validate-supabase --email <your-email> --auth-method <method>

Authentication Methods

Method	Description	Use Case
supabase	Email/password authentication via Supabase	Testing direct Supabase user authentication
keycloak-user	Username/password via Keycloak (Resource Owner Password Grant)	Testing Keycloak user credentials
keycloak-client	Client credentials via Keycloak (Client Credentials Grant)	Testing service-to-service authentication

Validation Process

The script performs an end-to-end authentication validation:

1. Authentication: Authenticate using the specified method and credentials
2. Server Startup: Launches a temporary API server instance
3. Endpoint Verification: Tests the /whoami endpoint with the obtained token
4. User Information: Displays authenticated user details and associated roles
5. Cleanup: Automatically shuts down the temporary server
