Lasertime 📄

RESTful API to log and access laser time for users of the Space 🛠

API Reference

Full API Documentation is here.

The Lasertime API is organized around REST. The API accepts JSON, multipart, and XML request bodies, returns JSON response bodies, and uses standard HTTP response codes and authentication.

The order of parameters in request bodies is not important.

Base URL

https://api.lasertime.iron59.co.uk

The API may only be used with TLS.

Deploying to Docker 🐳

Example usage

docker run -d -p8080:8080 -e DATABASE_HOST="dev" -e DATABASE_PASSWORD="epicpassword123" fozflow/lasertime:latest

Environment variables 🌈

The default values are OK to use if you use the MySQL Docker configuration in the "/SQL Server Setup" folder of the Lasertime Server repo. Well, all apart from the hostname, of course, unless you deploy it on a machine with the hostname hostname, in which case no changes at all to the environmental vars are required!

Name	Description	Example	Default value
DATABASE_HOST	The hostname or IP address of the MySQL server to connect to	172.16.55.241	hostname
DATABASE_USERNAME	Username of the MySQL user	gary	root
DATABASE_PASSWORD	Password for said user	mmmm cheese on toast	password
DATABASE_NAME	Name of the database for lasertime	worm_on_a_string	laser
