An attendance list application based on QR codes written in Go.

This repository is only for educational purposes and should not be used in any productive scenarios.

It is not under active development.

This project requires a fully working Go installation (Version 1.12+).

Clone the repository with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/dateiexplorer/attendancelist.git

To build the executables cd in the root directory of this repository and execute the build command.

cd attendancelist
go build -o ./build/ ./...

This command creates a build direcotry and stores to executables in it. Now you can execute this executables, e.g.

./build/service \
    -locations ./example/locations.xml \
    -cert ./example/cert.pem --key ./example/key.pem

Note that the files in the example directory are sample files for local deployment. Never use the HTTPS certificates in a productive environment. Instead create them on your own.

Note: You can change the behaviour of the web server with additional flags.

Now you running a web server. If you use the default ports you can navigate to https://localhost:4443/ to see all available locations (parsed from the locations.xml).

Note that the SSL certificate is self-signed so you'll get a potential security risk warning like the following:

If you deploy the web server on your local machine you can accept the warning and continue.

Now you can choose a location and get the corresponding QR code like the following:

You can scan this QR-Code to access to Login site for this location. Alternativly you can get a access token through the API endpoint (default is https://localhost:4443/api/tokens). Here you see all vaild tokens. You can also get only the current valid token for a specific location by typing: https://localhost:4443/api/tokens?location=<location>.

Use this tokens to access the Login page for a specific location under https://localhost:4444/access?token=<token>

Now you can login with your credentials.

To get information about the attendance of users, use the analyzer CLI-tool.
