# Code
I use 4 spaces for indentation. Go should ideally be formatted with `goimports` and/or `gofmt`. I don't use a formatter on typescript, so don't worry about that.
Code in Go should ideally use `PascalCase` for exported values, and `camelCase` for non-exported, JSON for transferring data should use `snake_case`, and Typescript should use `camelCase`. Forgive me for my many inconsistencies in this, and feel free to fix them if you want.
Functions in Go that need to access `*appContext` should be generally be receivers, except when the behaviour could be seen as somewhat independent from it (`email.go` is the best example, its behaviour is broadly independent from the main app except from a couple config values).
# Compiling
The Makefile is more suited towards development than other build methods, and provides separate build stages to speed up compilation when only making changes to specific aspects of the project.
Prefix each of these with `make DEBUG=on `:
* `all` will download deps and build everything. The executable and data will be placed in `build`. This is only necessary the first time.
* `npm` will download all node.js build-time dependencies.
* `compile` will only compile go code into the `build/jfa-go` executable.
* `typescript` will compile typescript w/ sourcemaps into `build/data/web/js`.
* `bundle-css` will bundle CSS and place it in `build/data/web/css`.
* `inline` will inline the css and javascript used in the single-file crash report webpage.
* `configuration` will generate the `config-base.json` (used to render settings in the web ui) and `config-default.ini` and put them in `build/data`.
* `email` will compile email mjml, and copy the text versions in to `build/data`.
* `swagger`: generates swagger documentation for the API.
* `copy` will copy iconography, html, language files and static data into `build/data`.
## Environment variables
* `DEBUG=on/off`: If on, compiles with type-checking for typescript, sourcemaps, non-minified css and no symbol stripping.
* `INTERNAL=on/off`: Whether or not to embed file assets into the binary itself, or store them separately beside the binary.
* `UPDATER=on/off/docker`: Enable/Disable the updater, or set a special update type (currently only docker, which disables self-updating the binary).
* `TRAY=on/off`: Enable/disable the tray icon, which lets you start/stop/autostart on login. For linux, requires `libappindicator3-dev` for debian or the equivalent on other distributions.
* `GOESBUILD=on`: Use a locally installed `esbuild` binary. NPM doesn't provide builds for all os/architectures, so `npx esbuild` might not work for you, so the binary is compiled/installed with `go get`.
* `GOBINARY=<path to go>`: Alternative path to go executable. Useful for testing with unstable go releases.
* `VERSION=v<semver>`: Alternative verision number, useful to test update functionality.
* `COMMIT=<short commit>`: Self explanatory.
* `LDFLAGS=<ldflags>`: Passed to `go build -ldflags`.
* `E2EE=on/off`: Enable/disable end-to-end encryption support for Matrix, which is currently very broken. Must subsequently be enabled (with Advanced settings enabled) in Settings > Matrix.
* `TAGS=<tags>`: Passed to `go build -tags`.
* `OS=<os>`: Unrelated to GOOS, if set to `windows`, `-H=windowsgui` is passed to ldflags, which stops a windows terminal popping up when run.
* `RACE=on/off`: If on, compiles with the go race detector included.

* [Jellyseerr](https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr) is a fork of Overseerr, which can manage users and mainly acts as an Ombi alternative.
* [Organizr](https://github.com/causefx/Organizr) doesn't focus on Jellyfin, but allows putting self-hosted services into "tabs" on a central page, and allows creating users, which lets one control who can access what.

jfa-go is a user management app for [Jellyfin](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin) (and [Emby](https://emby.media/) as 2nd class) that provides invite-based account creation as well as other features that make one's instance much easier to manage.
#### Features
* 🧑 Invite based account creation: Send invites to your friends or family, and let them choose their own username and password without relying on you.
* Send invites via a link and/or email
* Send invites via a link and/or email, discord, telegram or matrix
* Granular control over invites: Validity period as well as number of uses can be specified.
* Account profiles: Assign settings profiles to invites so new users have your predefined permissions, homescreen layout, etc. applied to their account on creation.
* Password validation: Ensure users choose a strong password.
* CAPTCHAs can be enabled to avoid bots
* CAPTCHAs and contact method verificatoin can be enabled to avoid bots.
* ⌛ User expiry: Specify a validity period, and new users accounts will be disabled/deleted after it. The period can be manually extended too.
* 🔗 Ombi Integration: Automatically creates Ombi accounts for new users using their email address and login details, and your own defined set of permissions.
* Account management: Apply settings to your users individually or en masse, and delete users, optionally sending them an email notification with a reason.
* 🔗 Ombi Integration: Automatically creates Ombi accounts for new users using their email address and login details, and your own defined set of permissions. See [wiki](https://wiki.jfa-go.com/docs/ombi/) for a warning on this one.
* Account management: Bulk or individually; apply settings, delete, disable/enable, send messages and much more.
* 📣 Announcements: Bulk message your users with announcements about your server.
* Telegram/Discord/Matrix Integration: Verify users via a chat bot, and send Password Resets, Announcements, etc. through it.
* "My Account" Page: Allows users to reset their password, manage contact details, view their account expiry date, and send referrals. Custom messages can be added, with markdown.
* Referrals: Users can be given special invites to send to their friends and families.
* 📨 Email storage: Add your existing users email addresses through the UI, and jfa-go will ask new users for them on account creation.
* Email addresses can optionally be used instead of usernames
* "My Account" Page: Allows users to reset their password, manage contact details, view their account expiry date, and send referrals. Can be customized with markdown.
* Referrals: Users can be given special invites to send to their friends and families, similar to some invite-only services like Bluesky.
* 🔑 Password resets: When users forget their passwords and request a change in Jellyfin, jfa-go reads the PIN from the created file and sends it straight to them via email/telegram.
* Can also be done through the "My Account" page if enabled.
* Admin Notifications: Get notified when someone creates an account, or an invite expires.
* 📣 Announcements: Bulk message your users with announcements about your server.
* Authentication via Jellyfin: Instead of using separate credentials for jfa-go and Jellyfin, jfa-go can use it as the authentication provider.
* Enables the usage of jfa-go by multiple people
* 🌓 Customizations
* Customize emails with variables and markdown
* Specify contact and help messages to appear in emails and pages

jfa-go does not run as a daemon by default. Run `jfa-go systemd` to create a systemd `.service` file in your current directory, which you can copy into `~/.config/systemd/user` or somewhere else.
