# FaSTTUBe Corona Tracker
Small webapp to track who was in which room at which time to backtrace
potential viral infections.
For Ideas, Progress, and Bugs visit
[Issues](https://git.fasttube.de/FaSTTUBe/ftracker/issues).
## Requirements
- Unixoid system (linux, BSD, macOS). Windows might also work.
- `python` 3.6+ (might be `python3` on your system)
- `pip` for python 3+ (might be `pip3` on your system)
## How to run
(Dev setup, for prod deployment see below)
```bash
# clone, cd into repo
pip install -e .
python3 -m ftracker
```
Edit `config.ini` to tune your installation.
Then, point your browser at <http://localhost:5000/>.
## Installation/Deployment
### 1. FTracker Backend
As above:
```bash
# clone, cd into repo
pip install . # Use -e if you want to hack on the backend while installed.
```
### 2. WSGI Server + Service file
You need a WSGI Middleware (using `Flask`'s included `werkzeug` is discouraged
for production environments). I recommend `uwsgi` since it's flexible, fast and
has `nginx` integration. A sample configuration file as well as service
description files for both `systemd` and `rc` are included in `res/` for you to
adapt (file paths etc.) and install to your system (The `systemd` service file
still untested though, feel free to leave feedback).
### 3. Webserver
You need a webserver. I recommend `nginx` because it's the industry standard
and fast. A sample config file is included in `res/` for you to adapt (domain,
SSL certs) and install to your system. The configuration should include:
Webroot in `web/` with a fallback to the WSGI handler for the backend.
Enabling SSL (https) and redirecting http to https is strongly encouraged, i
recommend using `Let's Encrypt`'s `certbot` to easily obtain certificates.
### 4. Customization
Edit `config.ini` to your liking. Restart the backend by restarting the `uwsgi`
service, e.g. `sudo systemctl restart ftracker` or `sudo service ftracker
restart`
