# MyDay > A self-hosted employee **time, absence & reporting** app by **Sechpoint**. > Delivered as a **PWA** for mobile and desktop. **Single-tenant** β€” one company per instance. **Status:** 🚧 **M0 + M0.1 implemented** β€” the auth & routing foundation and the web/PWA layer (the SPEC-002…009 slices) are built: routing Β· identity/sessions Β· the door Β· `/setup` Β· enroll/login (+ the passkey nudge) Β· roles/chain/recovery Β· the module registry Β· the web shell. Next milestone: **M1 β€” org structure**. The design of record is [`PROJECT_PLAN.md`](PROJECT_PLAN.md). --- ## What it will do | Area | | |---|---| | **Org structure** | users, the manager hierarchy, departments, positions | | **Time** | presence and timesheets (a per-user mode) | | **Absence** | leave requests, approvals, balances | | **Reporting** | rollups and aggregations | Built as **one Go binary**: a small core (`MyDay.auth` β€” identity, sessions, the door) plus drop-in **modules**. --- ## Running it ```bash # 1. configure cp config.example.yaml config.yaml # then edit; config.yaml is gitignored # 2. build go build -o myday ./cmd/myday # 3. run ./myday ``` --- ## ⚠️ First run β€” do NOT expose it publicly The **first user becomes the top admin** (the root of the chain). So the instance bootstraps **loopback-only**, running a **`/setup` wizard** until that admin exists. ```bash # on the server it listens on 127.0.0.1:8080 only (config.example.yaml) ssh -L 8080:127.0.0.1:8080 user@server # from your workstation # then open http://127.0.0.1:8080/setup and complete the wizard ``` > **Loopback is enforced per request, not just at bind.** While in setup mode the app answers **404** > to any request whose client is not loopback β€” so a reverse proxy must **not** sit in front of a > fresh instance, even one bound to `127.0.0.1`. Bootstrap over the SSH tunnel (above) first. > **Reach the app over `localhost` / `127.0.0.1` β€” not a hostname.** With an `https://` `base_url` > the CSRF and session cookies are marked **`Secure`**, so they are **not** sent over plain > `http://`; and only a **loopback** origin counts as a trustworthy/secure context for the > browser's **WebAuthn** dialogs. So for first run and any human testing, open the app at > **`http://localhost:8080`** or **`http://127.0.0.1:8080`** (via the tunnel above) β€” never at a > bare server hostname. Only **after** the top admin exists should you put MyDay behind a reverse proxy and expose it. --- ## What `/setup` writes β€” and the restart The wizard **persists `config.yaml`** (`setup: false`, the base URL, mail/locale, and the secrets) next to the loaded file β€” never over the committed `config.example.yaml`. If the file is not writable it **prints** the values for you to save by hand, and setup still completes. The **secrets are generated at startup** when a value is still `CHANGE_ME…`, so the wizard's ceremony is never signed with a known key. The persisted file then holds **those same values** β€” so **a restart adopts them** and the admin's TOTP secret (sealed with the generated key) keeps working. Boot a productive instance from the **written `config.yaml`**, not from the example: `config.example.yaml`'s placeholders fail closed in productive mode by design. --- ## Documentation | | | |---|---| | [`PROJECT_PLAN.md`](PROJECT_PLAN.md) | the plan & decision log of record | | [`AGENT.md`](AGENT.md) | instructions for AI agents working here | | [`docs/specs/`](docs/specs/) | implementation specs | | [`config.example.yaml`](config.example.yaml) | configuration template | --- ## Security - Secrets live in **`config.yaml`** (gitignored) β€” **never commit them**. - Auth is **Passkey (primary) + TOTP (fallback)**. - See `PROJECT_PLAN.md` Β§10 for the deferred-security register and its **beta gate**. --- ## License TBD.
