When signing up, the user is given a pin code which they send to a
telegram bot. This provides user verification, but more importantly
allows the bot to message the user, as the Telegram API requires the
user to interact with the bot before it can do the opposite.
The bot should recognize the correct language, but a /lang command is
also provided to change it.
The verification process is pretty much functional but ui is still
broken, and it isn't properly integrated yet.
usedBy is still stored as a string in invites.json to cope with existing
invites with times stored formatted. knz/strtime requires cgo for
strptime, so it has been replaced with the native itchyny/timefmt-go.
When enabled (in Settings > Password Resets), a magic link will be sent
instead of a PIN when the user tries reset their password. By doing
this the user doesn't have to keep the Jellyfin tab open to enter the
code.
If enabled, jfa-go pings buildrone (hosted at builds.hrfee.pw) every 30
min for new updates. If there is one, it gets information (and if
applicable, a binary) from the appropriate source (buildrone, github, or
dockerhub) and displays it on the admin page. You can switch update
channels between stable and unstable. For binary releases, updates are
downloaded automatically and installed when the user presses update.
Since this obviously introduces some "phone-home" functionality into
jfa-go, I just want to say IPs are not and will not be logged by
buildrone, although I may later introduce functionality to give a rough
idea of the number of users (again, no IPs stored). The whole thing can
also be turned off in settings.
After selecting users in the accounts tab, you can press 'Announce',
then write a subject and message (with markdown), and an email will be
sent to each selected user.
merge go1.16 changes
This includes embedded files for releases (no extra 'data' directory!)
and support for a custom language file directory, allowing one to
customize the text accross the app.
paths are pretty janky, but it works. Also, [files]/lang_files now must
be the path to a directory CONTAINING a "lang/" directory. I'll work
around this at a later date.
The local app translations are loaded, and then if [files]/lang_files
is provided (a directory containing custom translations), any found
inside it are loaded over top. This makes customizing much easier.
ioutil's contents are now in io and os.
Eventually jfa-go's files will be embedded in the binary with go1.16's
new embed feature. Using io/fs will provide abstraction for accessing
these files, and allow for both embedded and non-embedded versions.
Also, internal paths to things like email templates, etc. will be
prefixed with "jfa-go:" to indicate to use the app's own Filesystem
instead of reading the file normally. This also allows for custom files
to continue to be used as they are currently.
the web ui has been redesigned with the a17t toolkit, which imo looks a
lot better than bootstrap. This also brought a complete rework of the
web code, which now makes a lot more sense hopefully. the setup page is
still stuck with bootstrap, its not much of a priority but i'll rewrite
it eventually.
requirement strings
Password requirement text is now loaded by the typescript, and can be
customized by changing the validationStrings variable. See wiki for more
info.
Copied and fixed the build scripts from jf-accounts, added them to the
.goreleaser.yml. Also:
data directory now stored in user's config folder
Handle timeouts in jfapi
Maybe more i forgot about.
Python utility included to convert config-base.json into a new version
which includes lists that define the order settings should be displayed.
admin.js edited to recognize this.
