PIN is verified but not used currently. Works a little different than
the others, you input your matrix user ID and then the PIN is sent to
you. The bot doesn't support E2EE, so the bot being the first one to
message ensures the chat is unencrypted.
Discord, Email & Telegram can be enabled, although email is always
enabled right now (will fix). Also apparently markdown hyperlinks don't
work in Discord, eventually will implement something to convert them to
embeds.
The bot should be created by the admin and added to a discord server
mutual to the intended new user(s). On !start in the server,
communication is moved to DMs. Currently !start works, and validity of a
given PIN is checked although nothing it done with this yet.
When signing up, the user is given a pin code which they send to a
telegram bot. This provides user verification, but more importantly
allows the bot to message the user, as the Telegram API requires the
user to interact with the bot before it can do the opposite.
The bot should recognize the correct language, but a /lang command is
also provided to change it.
The verification process is pretty much functional but ui is still
broken, and it isn't properly integrated yet.
When enabled (in Settings > Password Resets), a magic link will be sent
instead of a PIN when the user tries reset their password. By doing
this the user doesn't have to keep the Jellyfin tab open to enter the
code.
If enabled, jfa-go pings buildrone (hosted at builds.hrfee.pw) every 30
min for new updates. If there is one, it gets information (and if
applicable, a binary) from the appropriate source (buildrone, github, or
dockerhub) and displays it on the admin page. You can switch update
channels between stable and unstable. For binary releases, updates are
downloaded automatically and installed when the user presses update.
Since this obviously introduces some "phone-home" functionality into
jfa-go, I just want to say IPs are not and will not be logged by
buildrone, although I may later introduce functionality to give a rough
idea of the number of users (again, no IPs stored). The whole thing can
also be turned off in settings.
Variables are surrounded by {}, and initial (default) templates are
generated on demand from the plaintext version of emails. The custom
emails are intended to only be used if the user actually changes them,
as they lose the features of the default ones, such as tables.
merge go1.16 changes
This includes embedded files for releases (no extra 'data' directory!)
and support for a custom language file directory, allowing one to
customize the text accross the app.
paths are pretty janky, but it works. Also, [files]/lang_files now must
be the path to a directory CONTAINING a "lang/" directory. I'll work
around this at a later date.
The local app translations are loaded, and then if [files]/lang_files
is provided (a directory containing custom translations), any found
inside it are loaded over top. This makes customizing much easier.
ioutil's contents are now in io and os.
Eventually jfa-go's files will be embedded in the binary with go1.16's
new embed feature. Using io/fs will provide abstraction for accessing
these files, and allow for both embedded and non-embedded versions.
Also, internal paths to things like email templates, etc. will be
prefixed with "jfa-go:" to indicate to use the app's own Filesystem
instead of reading the file normally. This also allows for custom files
to continue to be used as they are currently.
Admin translation from @Killianbe, Email translation from
@Cornichon420. French is currently not functional, a few things are
missing which i'm waiting on.
the web ui has been redesigned with the a17t toolkit, which imo looks a
lot better than bootstrap. This also brought a complete rework of the
web code, which now makes a lot more sense hopefully. the setup page is
still stuck with bootstrap, its not much of a priority but i'll rewrite
it eventually.
