It's because of process.env.DB_CONNECT in your code is undefined. Change line 5 of your src/backend/server.js file like below:
const dotenv = require('dotenv').config({ path: __dirname + '/.env' });
then comment dotenv.config()
and copy .env to src/backend/.
Or change line 10 or the file like this:
dotenv.config({ path: __dirname + '/.env' });
You have const User = require('../models/User'); two time in backend/routes/auth.js. Comment line 9. It will give you error.
I fixed it and created pull request in github. Merge it.
