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.

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)

# 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

There are 2 methods: Docker and Manual.

Method A: Docker

Build the container with

sudo docker build . -t ftracker

Then, if you want the container to also handle SSL so it can run standalone you need to pass it a domain and Email so it can obtain a certificate from Let's encrypt:

sudo docker run \
	-d \
	--name ftracker \
	-e DOMAIN=example.com \
	-e LE_EMAIL=admin@example.com \
	-p 80:80 \
	-p 443:443 \
	-v /your/full/path/to/config.ini:/etc/ftracker/config.ini \
	ftracker

Otherwise you can run it without SSL (maybe behind your own web+ssl server) using just

sudo docker run \
	-d \
	--name ftracker \
	-p 80:80 \
	-v /your/full/path/to/config.ini:/etc/ftracker/config.ini \
	ftracker

To stop/start/uninstall the container afterwards, run:

docker stop ftracker  # might take up to 10 seconds
docker start ftracker # continue runniing
docker rm -f ftracker # uninstall

Method B: Manual

1. FTracker Backend

Install backend system wide:

# clone, cd into repo
sudo -H 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
