- Cards are synced with Cobot
- Cards are stored in
cards.jsonin the root of the project (should be~/doorlock/cards.jsonon the RaspberryPi) - Logs are stored in
logs.jsonin the root of the project (should be~/doorlock/logs.jsonon the RaspberryPi)
- Update list of cards every few minutes from Cobot
- Push up logs/checkins to management app
- Get working with Nexedus
- Protect card and log pages such that people can't just login to the wifi and copy-paste card ID numbers into the form
- Handle card reading directly in hardware, no ability to manually type into the webform
- Log error messages and other app issues remotely
- Register a new application at https://www.cobot.me/oauth2_clients
- Set the Scope to
checkin_tokens write write_check_ins read read_time_passes - Paste the Access Token (used for dev / non-interactive purposes) into the COBOT_ACCESS_TOKEN variable in
.env(based on.env.example-- see below instructions)
- Install dependencies with
npm install - Run
node src/server.js
First, get a working RasPi. I suggest Raspbian (not NOOBS). Download and extract the ZIP. Then follow standard instructions to "burn" image to SD card. On Linux/Mac, that'd be something like: (TRIPLE CHECK THE IF AND OF HERE BEFORE COPY PASTING, ESPECIALLY OF=/dev/sdb BECAUSE ALL CONTENTS WILL BE INSTANTLY OVERWRITTEN DESTRUCTIVELY) sudo dd if=2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
On the RPI:
# Change to "sudo" user
sudo su
# Install nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
# Install forever
npm i -g forever
# Clone the project and install dependencies
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/chimera/doorlock.git
cd doorlock
nvm install
nvm use
npm install
# Setup environment variables
cp .env.example .env
vi .env
# Add missing environment variables
# Start app
forever start src/server.jsFollow the install from source guide for node-hid becuase there is no pre-built binary for RaspberryPi
npm install -g node-gyp
apt install build-essential git libudev-dev gcc-4.8 g++-4.8 libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev
export CXX=g++-4.8
npm install node-hid --build-from-source
You should now be able to view the app at http://localhost:3000
On a RasPi, copy the contents of the autostart file into: ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart (presuming you've downloaded this repo to /home/pi/doorlock. Note that autostart is the filename, not a folder. Messing this up will prevent you from logging in fully.)
Also, add the full cron.sh path to /etc/crontab to run every 5 minutes, i.e. */5 * * * * root /home/pi/doorlock/cron.sh
Optionally, to help users with debugging, run ln -s /home/pi/doorlock/start.sh ~/Desktop/start-doorlock.sh to give them a link on the desktop.
Or generally, find some way to run ./start.sh in this folder
