# TeamMapper

![TeamMapper Screenshot](docs/teammapper-logo.png "TeamMapper Logo")

Mindmapping made simple: Host and create your own mindmaps. Share your mindmap sessions with your team and collaborate on mindmaps.

TeamMapper is based on mindmapp (https://github.com/cedoor/mindmapp , discontinued). In contrast to mindmapp, TeamMapper features shared mindmapping sessions for your team based on websockets. Try it: [TeamMapper.org](https://teammapper.org)

## Features:

-   **Creation**: Host and create your own mindmaps
-   **Customization**: Add images, pictograms\*, colors, font properties and links to nodes
-   **Collaboration**: Share your mindmap with friends and collegues, using either a view-only or modification invite!
-   **Interoperability**: Import and export functionality (JSON, Mermaid, SVG, PDF, PNG...)
-   **Shareability**: Use a QR Code or URL to share your maps
-   **GDPR Compliancy**: By default, mindmaps are deleted after 30 days
-   **Usability**: Redo / Undo, many Shortcuts

## Getting started

### Quick Start (without building the image)

Prepared docker image: `docker pull ghcr.io/b310-digital/teammapper:latest`

#### Docker compose

Attention: Add the missing password for postgres inside app_prod and postgres_prod!

`docker compose up -d` and visit `localhost:80`

```docker
version: "3.8"

services:
  app_prod:
    image: ghcr.io/b310-digital/teammapper:latest
    environment:
      MODE: PROD
      BINDING: "0.0.0.0"
      POSTGRES_DATABASE: teammapper-db
      POSTGRES_HOST: postgres_prod
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD:
      POSTGRES_PORT: 5432
      POSTGRES_SSL: false
      POSTGRES_SSL_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED: false
      POSTGRES_USER: teammapper-user
      POSTGRES_QUERY_TIMEOUT: 100000
      POSTGRES_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT: 100000
      DELETE_AFTER_DAYS: 30
      AI_ENABLED: false
    ports:
      - 80:3000
    depends_on:
      - postgres_prod

  postgres_prod:
    image: postgres:12-alpine
    # Pass config parameters to the postgres server.
    # Find more information below when you need to generate the ssl-relevant file your self
    # command: -c ssl=on -c ssl_cert_file=/var/lib/postgresql/server.crt -c ssl_key_file=/var/lib/postgresql/server.key
    environment:
      PGDATA: /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
      POSTGRES_DB: teammapper-db
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD:
      POSTGRES_PORT: 5432
      POSTGRES_USER: teammapper-user
    volumes:
      # To setup an ssl-enabled postgres server locally, you need to generate a self-signed ssl certificate.
      # See README.md for more information.
      # Mount the ssl_cert_file and ssl_key_file into the docker container.
      - ./ca/server.crt:/var/lib/postgresql/server.crt
      - ./ca/server.key:/var/lib/postgresql/server.key
      - postgres_prod_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata

volumes:
  postgres_prod_data:
```

For examples with a reverse proxy, see [documentation about deployment](docs/deployment.md).

### Development

-   Start up app necessary services

    ```bash
    docker compose up -d --build --force-recreate
    ```

-   Install and build local workspace packages required by the frontend

    ```bash
    docker compose exec app pnpm --filter teammapper-frontend run build:packages
    ```

-   Start frontend and backend at once

    ```bash
    docker compose exec app pnpm run dev
    ```

    or start frontend and backend separately

    ```bash
    # Open two terminal sessions on your host machine

    # In first terminal session
    docker compose exec app pnpm --filter teammapper-backend start

    # In second terminal session
    docker compose exec app pnpm --filter teammapper-frontend start
    ```

-   Visit the frontend in http://localhost:4200

### Test

-   Create a test database

    ```bash
    docker compose exec postgres createdb -e -U teammapper-user -W teammapper-backend-test
    ```

-   Execute the tests

    ```bash
    docker compose exec app pnpm --filter teammapper-backend run test:e2e
    ```

### Production

-   Duplicate and rename `.env.default`

    ```bash
    cp .env.default .env.prod
    ```

-   Adjust all configs in `.env.prod`, e.g. database settings, ports, enable ssl env vars if necessary

-   Start everything at once (including a forced build):

    ```bash
    docker compose --file docker-compose-prod.yml --env-file .env.prod up -d --build --force-recreate
    ```

-   Go to `http://localhost:3011` (if default port is used in .env.prod) to open up teammapper. Happy mapping!
-   Optional commands:

    If you want to make sure to include the most recent updates, run first:

    ```bash
    docker compose --file docker-compose-prod.yml --env-file .env.prod build --no-cache
    ```

    then:

    ```bash
    docker compose --file docker-compose-prod.yml --env-file .env.prod up -d --force-recreate
    ```

    If you want to remove old data, including cached node packages and stored databases (DANGER!):

    ```bash
    docker compose --file docker-compose-prod.yml --env-file .env.prod down -v
    ```

    If you want to run prod migrations (again):

    ```bash
    docker compose exec app_prod pnpm --filter teammapper-backend run prod:typeorm:migrate
    ```

#### Postgres and SSL

If needed, you can make the connection to Postgres more secure by using a SSL connection.

-   Generate self-signed ssl sertificate for the postgres server on the host machine; the generated files are mounted into the docker container

    ```bash
    mkdir -p ./ca
    openssl req -new -text -passout pass:abcd -subj /CN=localhost -out ./ca/server.req -keyout ./ca/privkey.pem
    openssl rsa -in ./ca/privkey.pem -passin pass:abcd -out ./ca/server.key
    openssl req -x509 -in ./ca/server.req -text -key ./ca/server.key -out ./ca/server.crt
    chmod 600 ./ca/server.key
    test $(uname -s) = Linux && chown 70 ./ca/server.key
    ```

    And uncomment the line:

    ```bash
     # command: -c ssl=on -c ssl_cert_file=/var/lib/postgresql/server.crt -c ssl_key_file=/var/lib/postgresql/server.key
    ```

    within the docker-compose-prod file.

#### Running jobs

Trigger delete job (also executed daily with cron task scheduler):

```
docker compose --file docker-compose-prod.yml --env-file .env.prod exec app_prod pnpm --filter teammapper-backend run prod:data:maps:cleanup
```

#### Running further queries

Example of running sql via typeorm:

```
docker compose --file docker-compose-prod.yml --env-file .env.prod exec app_prod pnpm --filter teammapper-backend exec typeorm query "select * from mmp_node" --dataSource ./dist/data-source.js
```

### Default Settings

The following files contain configurations for default settings:

1. `/teammapper-backend/config/settings.dev.json`

    - Contains the default values for development mode

2. `/teammapper-backend/config/settings.prod.json`

    - Contains the default values for production mode
    - Changes here require rebuilding the Docker image

3. `/config/settings.override.json`
    - Values defined in `settings.override.json` override the values in `settings.prod.json`
    - Values can be adjusted at runtime

The settings are conceptually divided into:

-   **System Settings**: Settings provided by the application, which are not cached by the frontend and can only be adjusted in the backend
-   **User Settings**: values configured by the user in the frontend, which persist separately and override system defaults where applicable.

The settings configuration includes the following feature flags:

-   `pictograms`: Disables/Enables the pictogram feature (default: disabled). Note: You have to set this flag before build time in the JSON config!
-   `ai`: Disables/Enables AI functionality like generating mindmaps with AI. Can be controlled via the `AI_ENABLED` environment variable (default: `false`).

#### Environment variable overrides

The following environment variables override the feature flags from the JSON config:

| Variable | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `AI_ENABLED` | Enable AI features (mindmap generation) | `false` |
| `DELETE_AFTER_DAYS` | Number of days before mindmaps are deleted | `30` |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | NestJS log verbosity (`error`, `warn`, `log`, `debug`, `verbose`) | `debug` in DEV, `log` otherwise |

### Further details

-   Once this docker volume is initialized after the first `docker compose up`, the database-related variables in `.env.prod` will not have any effect; please have this in mind => you will then need to setup your database manually
