OnboardLite

OnboardLite is the result of the Influx Initiative, our vision for an improved student organization lifecycle at the University of Central Florida

Local Dev

git clone https://github.com/HackUCF/OnboardLite.git
python3 -m venv .venv
echo ".venv/" > ./.git/info/exclude
source ./.venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pre-commit install
cp options-example.yml ./config/options.yml

Goto https://discord.com/developers/applications create an application. Then under oauth2 get client id and client sceret set redir url to http://localhost:8000/api/oauth/?redir=_redir Set

discord
   client_id:
   secret:
   redirect_base: http://localhost:8000/api/oauth/?redir=
   enable: false

set

email:
    enable false

Set

http:
    domain:  localhost:8000

Set jwt secret to a <32 charcter random string

Set database to

database:
    url: "sqlite:////data/database.db"  # For docker create database/
    url: "sqlite:///database/database.db" # For local dev create database/

To run you can do either

python3 -m uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --reload --port 8000

docker compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml watch

Debug in vscode create .vscode/launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [

        {
            "name": "Python: FastAPI",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "justMyCode": true,
            "request": "launch",
            "module": "uvicorn",
            "args": [
                "app.main:app",
                "--reload",
                "--port",
                "8000"
            ]
        }

    ]
}

Deploying

Deploy a box.
Make sure the AWS CLI is set up and that ~/.aws is populated.
- Create a new AWS user with the policies AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess and PowerUserAccess (or preferrably, a policy that includes the actions dynamodb:* and sso:account:access)
- Install the AWS CLI
- Run aws configure sso on the host machine. See this article for more details.
- Create a new DynamoDB table named "hackucf_members" (default) with partition key id
Make sure Stripe is configured to work with a webhook at $URL/pay/webhook/validate and the account is activated.
- Create the webhook at the desired domain. Include the events checkout.session.*.
- Create a product to represent dues payments in the dashboard. This should be $10 + $0.60 to account for Stripe fees.
Request a configuration file with all the neccesary secrets/configurations for AWS, Stripe, Discord, and others.
Install dependencies: sudo apt install -y nginx certbot build-essential python3.11 python3.11-dev (or later versions of python3). You may need to use get-pip.py to install pip3.11 as well.
Install Python dependencies: python3.11 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure nginx (recommended) to proxy to port 80/443 + enable HTTPS. Set headers like Content-Security-Policy.
- If you use nginx, PLEASE use HTTPS (if you can; Cloudflare will probably disagree and want to use its own cert).
Install redis sudo apt install redis

Drop the following systemd service, replacing values as appropiate:


[Unit]
Description=Uvicorn instance to serve OnboardLite
After=network.target

[Service] User=ubuntu Group=www-data WorkingDirectory=/home/onboard-user/OnboardLite/ Environment="PATH=/home/onboard-user/OnboardLite/" ExecStart=python3.11 -m uvicorn index:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --workers 2

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

10. Drop the following nginx site config:
```conf
server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        server_name join.hackucf.org;

        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_protocol_addr; # To forward the original client's IP address
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; # to forward the  original protocol (HTTP or HTTPS)
        proxy_set_header Host $host; # to forward the original host requested by the client

        root /var/www/html;
        index index.html;

        location ^~ / {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        }
}

Start and enable the service using systemctl. Do the same for nginx if installed.
Put the service behind Cloudflare (optional).
Generate the Apple Wallet secrets and place them in config/pki. See this tutorial for details.
Profit!

Editing Form Data

To edit questions on a form, edit the JSON files in the forms/ folder. Each JSON is a separate page that acts as a discrete form, with each value correlated to a database entry. OnboardLite uses a file format based on a simplified Sileo Native Depiction and achieves the same goal: render a UI from a JSON schema. The schema is, honestly, poorly documented, but is rendered by util/kennelish.py. In short, each object in an array is a discrete element that is rendered.

Database entries must be defined in models/user.py before being called in a form. Data type valdiation is enforced by Pydantic.

Sudo Mode

Administrators are classified as trusted Operations members and are not the same thing as Executives. These are people who can view roster logs, and should be FERPA-trained by UCF (either using the RSO training or the general TA training). The initial administrator has to be set via DynamoDB's user interface.

Security Concerns

Please report security vulnerabilities to execs@hackucf.org.
