Japanese Learning Log Py

A tool that helps you to log / track your invested time in learning japanese, or anything really. You can use it as your daily learning diary!

Required / Programmed with: Python 3.9, Node v12 Updated to work with Python 3.11, Node v18.13

Older versions?

If you want use older python/node versions, look into the installAndBuild.sh/bat files and use the commented segments instead

Setup

Docker

You can use docker to automatically deploy this webapp. Just install Docker and git to your server / machine and clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/getraid/JapaneseLearningLogPy.git.

After that you can use docker build -t japaneselog . to create a local image. Then you have the option to run it "Simple" or "with folder bindings", so that you can access the DB and config easily.

Simple Container: docker run -d -it --name JLL -p 5000:5000 japaneselog:latest
Now visit the website on your defined port (http://localhost:5000/ in this case).

Folder Bindings?

or Container with folder bindings:

docker run -d -it --name JLL -p 5000:5000 -v ./localConfDir:/app/config -v ./localDBDir:/app/database  japaneselog:latest  

Here localConfDir and localDBDir are a local folder that you have to create. The sqlite database gets redirected in there and the config.ini can beprovided there as well.

Manual Installation

Clone the repository to your server with git clone https://github.com/getraid/JapaneseLearningLogPy.git Install all dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Build depedencies: execute the installAndBuild.bat(Windows) or ./installAndBuild.sh(macOS or Linux in Terminal) to build the frontend Start: python3 start.py

To run this in the background on a Linux server, please look into services.

Settings

This server application has all its settings "baked in", but you can simply override them. If you want to that, copy config.ini.sample to config.ini and edit them.

Settings explaination

port - The port of this server application. Make sure to allow it in your firewall.

host - Can be 127.0.0.1 for localhost only, 0.0.0.0 for all network interfaces or an individual ip-adress

usePassword - This enables a basic http-authentication with the username/password below. Please don't run this publicly without https. If you want to run this with https, fork and modify the code or simply use caddy with a reverse proxy. This was/is primary meant for "indoor"-use

user - the user account name (only one)

unlock_password - the user password (only one)

Development

To work on the gui check out JapaneseLearningLogFrontend. Before that, you should disable the usePassword option in the config.ini file.

In order to debug, you just start this python server and run it in the background. Then move into the JapaneseLearningLogFrontend folder and run npm install && npm run serve there. The actual UI testing will be easier this way. Once you're done, simply run npm run build in the JapaneseLearningLogFrontend directory and it will output its contents into the static folder here. Now you can just navigate to your defined host:port address of the regular server.
