Timed timetracking software REST API built with Django

Archived

This Repository has been merged into a monorepo and is therefore archived.

Installation

Requirements

• docker
• docker-compose

After installing and configuring those requirements, you should be able to run the following commands to complete the installation:

Add the timed.local entries to your hosts file:

echo "127.0.0.1 timed.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

Then just start the docker-compose setup:

make start

This brings up complete local installation, including our Timed Frontend project.

You can visit it at http://timed.local.

The API can be accessed at http://timed.local/api/v1 and the admin interface at http://timed.local/admin/.

The Keycloak admin interface can be accessed at http://timed.local/auth/admin with the account admin and password admin

Development

To get the application working locally for development, make sure to create a file .env with the following content:

ENV=dev
DJANGO_OIDC_CREATE_USER=True

If you have existing users from the previous LDAP authentication, you want to add this line as well:

DJANGO_OIDC_USERNAME_CLAIM=preferred_username

Import some development fixtures to get started:

make loaddata

The test data includes 3 users: admin, fritzm and axels with which you can log into http://timed.local. Their passwords are identical to the username.

To access the Django admin interface you will have to change the admin password in Django directly:

$ make bash
root@0a036a10f3c4:/app# poetry run python manage.py changepassword admin
Changing password for user 'admin'
Password: 
Password (again): 
Password changed successfully for user 'admin'

Then you'll be able to login in the Django admin interface http://timed.local/admin/.

Adding a user

If you want to add other users with different roles, add them in the Keycloak interface (as they would be coming from your LDAP directory). You will also have to correct their employment in the Django admin interface as it is not correctly set for the moment. Head to http://timed.local/admin/ after having perform a first login with the user. You should see that new user in the Employment -> Users. Click on the user and scroll down to the Employments section to set a Location. Save the user and you should now see the Timed interface correctly under that account.
