It allows you +to manage the state and content of a Fietsboek instance from the command line. + +.. warning:: + + The ``fietsctl`` script does not do any access checking and does not + require and logins or passwords. You must use the permissions of your + system and database server to restrict the access to ``fietsctl`` by + restricting access to the data stores directly. + +Detailed versions of the commands are described below. + +Note that most commands expect the path to the configuration file to be given +(e.g. ``-c production.ini``). The default uses ``fietsboek.ini``. This can be +overridden using the ``-c``/``--config`` option. + +.. note:: + + All commands support the ``--help`` option, which will give you a quick + overview of how the command works and which options are available. + +USER MANAGEMENT +*************** + +You can use the ``fietsctl user`` subcommand to manage the users in the +Fietsboek system. + +Many functions which deal with existing users (delete, modify, ...) allow the +user to be specified either by their ID using the ``-i``/``--id`` option, or by +their email address using ``-e``/``--email``. You can obtain the IDs of users +using the ``fietsctl user list`` command. + +ADDING A USER +############# + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl user add [-c CONFIG] [--email EMAIL] [--password PASSWORD] [--admin] + +This command adds a user to the system. It can be called with no arguments, in +which case all required values are prompted for. + +If the new user should be made an admin, use the ``--admin`` flag. If not +given, the user will *not* be made an admin. In any case, the user is +automatically verified. If you want to change the admin or verification status +after creating a user, use the ``fietsctl user modify`` command (see below). + +It is advised that you do not supply the password on the command line to +prevent it from appearing in the command history. Either disable the history, +or leave out the password (in which case you will be prompted). + +Note that this function does not check the ``enable_account_registration`` +setting, so it can always be used to add new users to the system. + +Note further that this function does less checks then the web interface (e.g. +it does not require an email verification), so be careful which values you +enter. + +REMOVING A USER +############### + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl user del [-c CONFIG] [-f/--force] [-i/--id ID] [-e/--email EMAIL] + +Removes a user from the system. This will remove the user account and all +associated data (the user's tracks, comments, ...). + +By default, the command will ask for confirmation. You can specify the +``-f``/``--force`` flag to override this check. + +GENERATING HEATMAPS +################### + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl user hittekaart [-c CONFIG] [-i/--id ID] [-e/--email EMAIL] [--delete] [--mode heatmap|tilehunt] + +With ``fiettsctl user hittekaart`` you can force a hittekaart run for a +specific user. By default, only the heatmap is generated, but you can use +``--mode`` to select which overlay map you want to generate. You can also +specify ``--mode`` multiple times to generate multiple heat maps with a single +invocation. + +If you want to delete a heatmap, use the ``--delete`` option. It also respects +the ``--mode`` selection, so you can delete individual types of heatmaps. + +LISTING USERS +############# + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl user list [-c CONFIG] + +Outputs a list of all users in the system, one user per line. Each line +consists of: + +.. code-block:: text + + [av] ID - EMAIL - NAME + +The "a" indicates that the user has admin permissions. If the user has no admin +permissions, a "-" is shown instead. + +The "v" indicates that the user has their email address verified. If the user +has not verified their email address, a "-" is shown instead. + +MODIFYING USERS +############### + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl user modify [-c CONFIG] [-i/--id ID] [-e/--email EMAIL] [--admin/--no-admin] [--verified/--no-verified] + +Modifies a user. This can currently be used to set the admin and verification +status of a user. If you want to change the password, use ``fietsctl user +passwd`` (see below). You cannot currently change the email address or name of +a user with this command (note that the ``--email`` option is for user +*selection*, not *modification*). + +If you do not specifiy either ``--admin`` or ``--no-admin``, then the current +value of the user is not changed. The same goes for ``--verified`` and +``--no-verified``, if neither is given, the current value is not changed. + +CHANGING USER PASSWORDS +####################### + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl user passwd [-c CONFIG] [-i/--id ID] [-e/--email EMAIL] [--password PASSWORD] + +Changes the password of the specified user. If the password is not given via +``--password``, then the password is interactively prompted for. Be careful +when using ``--password`` as sensitive information might end up in the shell +history! + +Note that this function does fewer checks than the web interface, as such it is +possible to set passwords that users cannot set themselves (e.g. very short +ones). + +TRACK MANAGEMENT +**************** + +The ``fietsctl track`` subcommand can be used to manage the tracks. + +LISTING TRACKS +############## + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl track list [-c CONFIG] + +Lists all tracks in the system. This outputs one line per track, plus final +summary information. + +For each track, the following information is shown: + +* The track's ID +* The size of the track's data (this includes the size of the data directory, + but not the size of the database elements) +* The track's owner (both name and email address) +* The track's title. + +MAINTENANCE MODE +**************** + +The ``fietsctl maintenance-mode`` subcommand manages the maintenance mode. + +ACTIVATING MAINTENANCE +###################### + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl maintenance-mode [-c CONFIG] REASON + +Enables the maintenance mode with the given reason. The reason should be a +short string that describes why Fietsboek is disabled. It will be shown to the +users on the error page. + +CHECKING MAINTENANCE +#################### + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl maintenance-mode [-c CONFIG] + +Without the reason, the command will output the current status of the +maintenance mode. + +DEACTIVATING MAINTENANCE +######################## + +.. code-block:: text + + fietsctl maintenance-mode [-c CONFIG] --disable + +With the ``--disable`` option, the maintenance mode will be disabled. + +BUGS +**** + +Bugs can be reported either via the issue tracker +(https://gitlab.com/dunj3/fietsboek/-/issues) or via email (fietsboek at +kingdread dot de). + +AUTHOR +****** + +This program is part of Fietsboek, written by the Fietsboek authors. + +COPYRIGHT +********* + +This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under +the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free +Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any +later version. + +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY +WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A +PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
