ungleich-user/README.md
Sajeyks bc597baa9e Rewrite the README for the current codebase
Replace the v2 notes and the broken setup steps with what the app does,
how to develop and test against the dev LDAP, where configuration is
documented, how to deploy, and a map of the code.

# ungleich account webapp
This service runs on [account.ungleich.ch](https://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](https://ldap3.readthedocs.io/) only, with no C extensions.
## Development
You need Docker and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (or any Python 3.15).
Only LDAP (and optionally PostgreSQL) runs in containers. The app runs
natively.
```sh
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=customers`, `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
```sh
.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.sample`](env.sample) lists each one, with its default and whether it
is a secret.
## Deployment
The [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) builds a production image: gunicorn running
as non-root, static files served by WhiteNoise, and logs on stdout. To
deploy on Kubernetes, and to test locally with kind, see
[`deploy/k8s/README.md`](deploy/k8s/README.md).
## Layout
