Open Lobby Server

Open Lobby is register of lobby contacts. It's being developed for and tested on Czech Pirate Party but later it may be used by any party, organization, agency, ...

This is core of the register - server with GraphQL API. Over API are connected application interfaces. Default web application is available at openlobby/openlobby-app.

Register is built on top of Elasticsearch. For now it's intended for search in Czech language with custom Czech text analyzer. There is prepared Elasticsearch Docker container with Czech support at openlobby/openlobby-es-czech.

Configuration

Configuration is done by environment variables:

• DEBUG - Set to any value to turn on debug mode. Don't use in production!
• SECRET_KEY - long random secret string (required if not in debug mode)
• DATABASE_DSN - DSN of PostgreSQL database (default: postgresql://db:db@localhost:5432/openlobby)
• ELASTICSEARCH_DSN - DSN of Elasticsearch cluster (default: http://localhost:9200)
• SITE_NAME - site name for OpenID authentication (default: Open Lobby)
• ES_INDEX - Elasticsearch indices prefix (default: openlobby)
• REDIRECT_URI - redirect URI used in OpenID Connect authentication (default: http://localhost:8010/login-redirect)
  • put there address where you run server, but keep there /login-redirect
  • this is the Redirect URI for static client registration at OpenID Provider
• FREE_EDIT_MINUTES - edit will save historical revision after this time since last edit (or publishing) of report (default: 60)

Login shortcuts aka preregistered OpenID Clients

Some OpenID Providers does not allow dynamic client registration. You can still use them. Register client with REDIRECT_URI and save client's credentials into database. You can do it in admin interface running at /admin. It's standard Django admin (create superuser for yourself like ./manage.py createsuperuser).

Docker

Docker image is at Docker Hub openlobby/openlobby-server. It exposes server on port 8010. You should provide it environment variables for configuration (at least SECRET_KEY).

Demo

Demo of Open Lobby with instructions is in repository openlobby/demo.

Local run and development

Prerequisites

You need to have Python 3 installed.

Run PostgreSQL database on localhost:5432 with user db, password db and database openlobby. You can provide different address in environment variable DATABASE_DSN.

Run Elasticsearch server openlobby/openlobby-es-czech on http://localhost:9200. You can provide different address in environment variable ELASTICSEARCH_DSN.

Local run

Clone this repository and run:

1. make init-env - prepares Python virtualenv in dir .env
2. source .env/bin/activate - activates virtualenv
3. make install - installs requirements and server in development mode
4. make migrate - runs database migrations and rebuilds Elasticsearch index
5. make run - runs development server on port 8010

Now you can use GraphQL API endpoint and GraphiQL web interface at http://localhost:8010/graphql

Next time you can just do steps 2 and 5.

Testing

Run: pytest

For full test suite run you have to provide OpenID Provider issuer URL which allows client registration. For example you can run Keycloak sever locally: docker run -e KEYCLOAK_USER=admin -e KEYCLOAK_PASSWORD=pass -p 8080:8080 --rm jboss/keycloak

Login into Keycloak admin console http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/ (as admin/pass) and go to Realm Settings -> Client Registration -> Client Registration Policies -> Trusted Hosts. There add localhost to "Trusted Hosts", turn off "Host Sending Client Registration Request Must Match" and save it.

Now run: pytest --issuer=http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/master
