doorjam-web is a web app for the doorjam physical hackerspace access control software.

Functionality

The following features are currently implemented:

• Grant access to new members
• List all members with access
• Basic access control (one shared admin password)

Security

Remember to set sane permissions for settings.js. You probably don't want it world-readable. Passwords are sent in plain text so only use this app over SSL.

Running

Copy settings.js.example to settings.js and edit it to suit your needs, then run:

./index.js

Init scripts

Init scripts are availabe for upstart (init_scripts/doorjam-web.conf) and for systemd (doorjam-web.sh). They both rely on the node.js program "forever". So install it using:

sudo npm install -g forever

upstart

To use the upstart script (assuming your system is using upstart), simply copy it to /etc/init/:

sudo cp init_scripts/doorjam-web.conf /etc/init/

Make sure you tweak the paths in the init scripts before using it.

Now you should be able to start and stop:

sudo start doorjam-web
sudo stop doorjam-web

and doorjam-web should auto-start when you boot.

systemd

To use the systemd script (assuming your system is using systemd), simply copy it to /etc/init.d/:

sudo cp init_script/doorjam-web.sh /etc/init.d/doorjam-web

Now you should be able to start and stop doorjam-web with:

sudo /etc/init.d/doorjam-web start
sudo /etc/init.d/doorjam-web stop

To make doorjam-web automatically start when you boot the system, run:

sudo update-rc.d doorjam-web defaults

Make sure you tweak the paths in the init scripts before using it.
