Adora Belle

Hands where I can see them (mister) – Adora Belle Dearheart (Going Postal)

Synopsis

A simple helpdesk tailored for use in remote-only university exercises: Students can request help, this will lead to a new request being created, along with an link to a jitsi-instance that tutors will visit to answer the students question via webconf.

Usage

stack run -- adora-belle -p 8080 -c config.toml

This will start an instance listening at port 8080.

Visit http://localhost:8080/index.html for the student interface, and http://localhost:8080/admin.html for the admin interface. Passwords are configured using the file config.toml. The configuration can be updated any time, using the reload button in the admin interface.

# The admininterface displays a log of all actions modifying the
# request-databse. The parameter configures how long to retain these actions,
# in minutes. For performance reasons, the log is only cleansed on database
# modification.
