FreeIPA Web UI

New version of the web application for administration of FreeIPA built using React and PatternFly 4.

You can read more about the plans here.

Mock-ups

Note: these mockups are for general direction we're taking the Web UI. Some finer details and interactions will be worked out as we develop the application.

Development environment

This project relies on Vagrant to set-up a virtual machine with FreeIPA installed and configured.

1. Install requirements

Although these instructions target Fedora as host, any OS with Vagrant can be used, sshfs and libvirt are the preffered options, if you plan to use a different distro, please update Vagrantfile accordingly.

$ sudo dnf install vagrant vagrant-libvirt vagrant-sshfs

2. Clone this repository

3. Start and provision the guest virtual machine: vagrant up

4. Add guest machine's IP address to your /etc/hosts pointing to its hostname, e.g:

192.168.122.5 server.ipa.demo

You can get the VM ip for the running VM by:

vagrant ssh-config | grep HostName | awk '{print $2}'

At this point you can access your live instance at https://server.ipa.demo/ipa/ui/. However, you still need to configure your front-end environment, it's up to you to choose between your host or guest machine.

If you decide to use your guest machine, just ssh into it, go to the synced folder:

$ vagrant ssh
$ cd /usr/src/freeipa-webui/

Now you can install the project's dependencies:

$ npm install

To build (and watch the project for changes), run:

$ npm run start

You can serve the project using the following command:

$ npm run serve

You can also build and serve the project for production using the following command:

$ npm run build

Now your dev environment is ready, you can do changes and see them at: https://server.ipa.demo/ipa/modern_ui/

Considerations

• Live reload is currently not available.

Testing

TBD

• audit-ci
