Dashboard

For Macro Project Management

This is a simple project management dashboard using the (MEAN stack).

##### Infrastructure Requirements: + Node.js with NPM is installed + MongoDB is accessible on the same host running the site on the regular port (127.0.0.1:27017) + Port 8080 is available on the host to bind to/answer requests from - _Optional_: port forward 80 to 8080 via your firewall rules to allow traditional website access

Installation

1. Checkout the code
2. Run "npm install"

Configuration

1. The website is "protected" using a very basic authentication. The usernames/passwords could (should) be changed in /user.htpasswd
2. The format is username:password

Start

1. Start MongoDB
2. Switch to a non-root user
3. Type: npm start
4. You can launch this under a linux screen to enable a more persistent run time

Features

• CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) new and exisiting projects
• Projects are stored as objects within MongoDB
• All expensive calls are wrapped in functions with callbacks
• All client side javascript calls hook UI updates so the screen never requires a hard refresh

Currently non supported

1. When another user commits a change/addition, an update is pushed to your screen
2. The ability to recover previously deleted projects (rows)
3. The ability to roll back changes/edits to an existing project
