Explains what the image does, which variables are required (five), usually set, or already defaulted to production, and lists the secrets. Then deployment three ways: plain docker run with SQLite on a volume, Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes with Helm, with configuration injected as environment and migrations as a separate pre-install/pre-upgrade Job. Ends with checks after deploying and a troubleshooting table. Linked from the README.
2.6 KiB
ungleich account webapp
This service runs on account.ungleich.ch. Customers use it to manage their ungleich LDAP account: register (with email confirmation), log in, change their name, email or password, reset a forgotten password, delete the account, and view their OTP seeds. It also offers a small API for creating accounts and fetching OTP seeds.
Django 6.1 on Python 3.15. LDAP access goes through ldap3 only, with no C extensions.
Development
You need Docker and uv (or any Python 3.15). Only LDAP (and optionally PostgreSQL) runs in containers. The app runs natively.
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build # OpenLDAP 2.6 on :3389, PostgreSQL on :5433
cp dev/env.dev .env # dev-only settings
uv venv -p 3.15 .venv && uv pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python manage.py migrate
.venv/bin/python manage.py runserver
The test LDAP mirrors the production layout (dc=ungleich,dc=ch,
ou=customer, ou=users) and comes with customer1 / customerpass
and staff1 / staffpass. To reset its data:
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --force-recreate ldap.
Tests
.venv/bin/python manage.py test dal
The tests in dal/tests/ exercise every view over HTTP against the real
test LDAP server, which must be running. Mail and the OTP server are
mocked. Set DATABASE_HOST=localhost DATABASE_PORT=5433 DATABASE_PASSWORD=dev-only to run them on PostgreSQL instead of SQLite.
Configuration
Every setting is an environment variable (a .env file in development).
.env.example lists each one, with its default and whether it
is a secret.
Deployment
The Dockerfile builds a production image: gunicorn running
as non-root, static files served by WhiteNoise, and logs on stdout.
docker.md explains how to deploy it with docker run,
Docker Compose (compose.yaml) or Helm, and which
variables are needed. For the plain Kubernetes manifests, and testing
locally with kind, see deploy/k8s/README.md.
