The env-logger is a data logger and visualisation Web application for collecting and displaying various physical environment data, such as, temperature and brightness.
To build and run this application locally you will need a recent Clojure version
installed. Additionally, a PostgreSQL server instance
is needed. Database definitions can be found in db-def.sql and
a database with the required tables must exist before the application
can be started.
Users are added to the users tables respectively before running the application.
This can be done with the scripts/add_user.py script. In order the install the
necessary dependencies you need pipenv.
Install dependencies themselves with pipenv install command in the scripts
directory and run the script with pipenv run python3 add_user.py <arguments>.
A user's password can be hashed with the (hashers/derive "<password>") command
in a Clojure REPL where the buddy-hashers library is installed and imported
as hashers.
This application supports both password and WebAuthn based authentication. Both methods work independently of each other and currently cannot be combined into a two factor authentication mechanism.
To register a WebAuthn authenticator go the <app url>/register page when
logged in. There you can register as many authenticators as needed. When an
authenticator has been registered it can be used on the login page.
A sample configuration can be found in the resources/config.edn_sample file.
The configuration file used in development is resources/dev/config.edn and the
one for production in resources/prod/config.edn. After copying the
sample file edit either or both file(s) as needed.
Some settings can be overridden with environment variables. Accepted environment
variables are described below.
- APP_PORT: The port which the application will be accessible through.
The default port is
8080. - POSTGRESQL_DB_HOST: Hostname of the database server.
- POSTGRESQL_DB_PORT: The port on which the database server is listening.
- POSTGRESQL_DB_NAME: Name of the database.
- POSTGRESQL_DB_USERNAME: Username of the database user.
- POSTGRESQL_DB_PASSWORD: Password of the database user.
To start the application locally run clojure -M:run. If the target/classes
directory does not exist then you need to run the clojure -T:build build-java
command to create the required Java .class file.
This application can be also be run in a Docker or podman container. To build the
container call make build from root directory of the application.
The container will be called env-logger. The .jar file to run in in the
container can be executed with the java -jar <name>.jar command.
