AdvLabDB
About
AdvLabDB is a database with a web interface for labs.
Admins have an interface to manage students, groups, experiments, appointments, marks and analyse data.
Assistants have a separate interface to set marks and schedule appointments with students.
Getting Started
You can deploy AdvLabDB easily using Docker. Take a look at compose.yaml
as a starting point for usage with docker compose
.
The container uses two volumes:
- One volume has to be mounted at
/volumes/data
in the container. This volume has to contain the two filessettings.ini
andsecrets.ini
:- A template for
settings.ini
can be found atdeploy/settings_template.ini
. This template will be automatically copied to the data volume as default settings file if a settings file does not already exist. - The file
secrets.ini
will be generated automatically after the first start of the container if it does not exist.
- A template for
- The second volume has to be mounted at
/volumes/logs
to store logs.
After configuring a compose file, run the command sudo docker compose run advlabdb manage.py setup init-db
to initialize the database with a guide.
After the database initialization, run sudo docker compose up -d
to start the container.
All inclusive
If you don't want to use your own reverse proxy, you can use compose.yaml
directly with Traefik as a reverse proxy:
- Create a directory
~/advlabdb
(You use another path, but then change it also in the following steps). - Move into the directory
~/advlabdb
and clone the repository into it asrepo
:git clone https://codeberg.org/mo8it/AdvLabDB.git ~/advlabdb/repo
- Copy the directory
deploy/traefik
into the parent directory~/advlabdb
:cp ~/advlabdb/repo/deploy/traefik ~/advlabdb
- Open the file
~/advlabdb/traefik/etc/traefik.yaml
, uncommentemail: EMAIL
and replaceEMAIL
it with your email address. You will receive a notification to this email address if any problem with your SSL certificate (for https) occur, for example certificate expiration. - Open the file
~/advlabdb/traefik/etc/dynamic
, uncommentrule: Host(`SERVER_NAME`)
and replaceSERVER_NAME
with your domain,advlabdb.mo8it.com
for example. - Change the time zone
TZ
in~/advlabdb/traefik/compose.yaml
if it is notEurope/Berlin
. Use the commandtzselect
to find out your time zone. - Now start Traefik by running the command
sudo docker compose up -d
in the directory~/advlabdb/traefik
. - Create directories for the data and logs volumes:
mkdir ~/advlabdb/{data,logs}
- Change the time zone
TZ
in~/advlabdb/repo/compose.yaml
if it is notEurope/Berlin
. - Initialize the database by running
sudo docker compose run advlabdb manage.py setup init-db
in the directory~/advlabdb/repo
and following the guide. - Start AdvLabDB by running the command
sudo docker compose up -d
in the directory~/advlabdb/repo
. - Visit the domain that you specified in the Traefik configuration as
SERVER_NAME
to test if AdvLabDB is running. If this is not the case, open an issue, maybe I could help :)
