|
|
<p>Taskchampion Sync-Server is an implementation of the TaskChampion <a href="https://gothenburgbitfactory.org/taskchampion/sync.html">sync
|
|
protocol</a> server. It supports synchronizing Taskwarrior tasks
|
|
between multiple systems.</p>
|
|
<p>The project provides both pre-built images for common use-cases (see
|
|
<a href="./usage.html">usage</a>) and Rust libraries that can be used to build more
|
|
sophisticated applications (<a href="./integration.html">integration</a>).</p>
|
|
<div style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="usage"><a class="header" href="#usage">Usage</a></h1>
|
|
<h2 id="running-the-server"><a class="header" href="#running-the-server">Running the Server</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The server is a simple binary that serves HTTP requests on a TCP port. The
|
|
server does not implement TLS; for public deployments, the recommendation is to
|
|
use a reverse proxy such as Nginx, haproxy, or Apache httpd.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="using-docker-compose"><a class="header" href="#using-docker-compose">Using Docker-Compose</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Every release of the server generates a Docker image in
|
|
<code>ghcr.io/gothenburgbitfactory/taskchampion-sync-server</code>. The tags include
|
|
<code>latest</code> for the latest release, and both minor and patch versions, e.g., <code>0.5</code>
|
|
and <code>0.5.1</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>The
|
|
<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskchampion-sync-server/refs/tags/v0.6.1/docker-compose.yml"><code>docker-compose.yml</code></a>
|
|
file in this repository is sufficient to run taskchampion-sync-server,
|
|
including setting up TLS certificates using Lets Encrypt, thanks to
|
|
<a href="https://caddyserver.com/">Caddy</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>You will need a server with ports 80 and 443 open to the Internet and with a
|
|
fixed, publicly-resolvable hostname. These ports must be available both to your
|
|
Taskwarrior clients and to the Lets Encrypt servers.</p>
|
|
<p>On that server, download <code>docker-compose.yml</code> from the link above (it is pinned
|
|
to the latest release) into the current directory. Then run</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">TASKCHAMPION_SYNC_SERVER_HOSTNAME=taskwarrior.example.com \
|
|
TASKCHAMPION_SYNC_SERVER_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
|
|
docker compose up
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The <code>TASKCHAMPION_SYNC_SERVER_CLIENT_ID</code> limits the server to the given client
|
|
ID; omit it to allow all client IDs.</p>
|
|
<p>It can take a few minutes to obtain the certificate; the caddy container will
|
|
log a message "certificate obtained successfully" when this is complete, or
|
|
error messages if the process fails. Once this process is complete, configure
|
|
your <code>.taskrc</code>'s to point to the server:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-none">sync.server.url=https://taskwarrior.example.com
|
|
sync.server.client_id=your-client-id
|
|
sync.encryption_secret=your-encryption-secret
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The docker-compose images store data in a docker volume named
|
|
<code>taskchampion-sync-server_data</code>. This volume contains all of the task data, as
|
|
well as the TLS certificate information. It will persist over restarts, in a
|
|
typical Docker installation. The docker containers will start automatically on
|
|
system startup. See the docker-compose documentation for more information.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="running-the-binary"><a class="header" href="#running-the-binary">Running the Binary</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The server is configured with command-line options. See
|
|
<code>taskchampion-sync-server --help</code> for full details.</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>--listen</code> option specifies the interface and port the server listens on.
|
|
It must contain an IP-Address or a DNS name and a port number. This option is
|
|
mandatory, but can be repeated to specify multiple interfaces or ports. This
|
|
value can be specified in environment variable <code>LISTEN</code>, as a comma-separated
|
|
list of values.</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>--data-dir</code> option specifies where the server should store its data. This
|
|
value can be specified in the environment variable <code>DATA_DIR</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, the server will allow all clients and create them in the database
|
|
on first contact. There are two ways to limit the clients the server will
|
|
interact with:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>To limit the accepted client IDs, specify them in the environment variable
|
|
<code>CLIENT_ID</code>, as a comma-separated list of UUIDs. Client IDs can be specified
|
|
with <code>--allow-client-id</code>, but this should not be used on shared systems, as
|
|
command line arguments are visible to all users on the system. This convenient
|
|
option is suitable for personal and small-scale deployments.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>To disable the automatic creation of clients, use the <code>--no-create-clients</code>
|
|
flag or the <code>CREATE_CLIENTS=false</code> environment variable. You are now
|
|
responsible for creating clients in the database manually, so this option is
|
|
more suitable for large scale deployments.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The server only logs errors by default. To add additional logging output, set
|
|
environment variable <code>RUST_LOG</code> to <code>info</code> to get a log message for every
|
|
request, or to <code>debug</code> to get more verbose debugging output.</p>
