octopass

what

this is Octopass, a hardware & software project that lets people attending the Recurse Center to sign in using their door fob.

this is the software/web/UI/front+back-end/oauth-y counterpart of the project. the hardware code repo is here.

how to dev

• assuming a 'normal' python/venv setup i.e.:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver

• copy .env.example to .env and fill out the appropriate values
• create a local superuser using our own python manage.py create_oauth_superuser <email> <username> <password>
  • this is necessary instead of the usual python manage.py createsuperuser because our User model includes oauth & rfid card infos that "regular" django superusers wouldn't have by default...!
• check HOWTODEV.md for more specific oauth/domain setup details!!

hosting details

• the main server is deployed / hosted on render.com (ask greg for access)
• audio files are hosted on aws s3 (ditto -- ask greg)

TODO

• add check if superuser with no token (i.e. admin user...) and don't error 500...
• Make sure that generated random color fruit is unique across last hour!
• add unenroll advanced option on index page - GET page to see what it entails, POST to do it; delete user object, logout, redirect to index
• render:
  • connect papertrail
• rename this project/repo/deployment/render domain/oauth dev&prod apps to octopass
  • probs just redeploy on render after name change here to simplify things
  • gregsadetsky/recurse-rfid-visits#13
• Add way of saying what will be working on through mic on octopass -- speech recognition
• fwup nick re hosting on RC heroku
• better copy for 'view all community sounds'..?
• fwup nick re ipad sign in repo? and make it websocket’y or poll more often?

huh

• this web backend is powered by minimalish django starter
• this project was made by ¹
