Getting Started (for Developers)

Designs

See the designs folder, and compile the private documentation locally:

cargo doc --document-private-items --open --no-deps

Get involved

To get started, you'll need to fork or branch, and we'll merge based on PR's.

If you are a contributor to the project, simply clone:

git clone git@github.com:kanidm/kanidm.git

If you are forking, then Fork in github and clone with:

git clone https://github.com/kanidm/kanidm.git
cd kanidm
git remote add myfork git@github.com:<YOUR USERNAME>/kanidm.git

Select and issue (and always feel free to reach out to us for advice!), and create a branch to start working:

git branch <feature-branch-name>
git checkout <feature-branche-name>
cargo test

When you are ready for review (even if the feature isn't complete and you just want some advice)

cargo test
git commit -m 'Commit message' change_file.rs ...
git push <myfork/origin> <feature-branch-name>

If you get advice or make changes, just keep commiting to the branch, and pushing to your branch. When we are happy with the code, we'll merge in github, meaning you can now cleanup your branch.

git checkout master
git pull
git branch -D <feature-branch-name>

Rebasing:

If you are asked to rebase your change, follow these steps:

git checkout master
git pull
git checkout <feature-branche-name>
git rebase master

Then be sure to fix any merge issues or other comments as they arise. If you have issues, you can always stop and reset with:

git rebase --abort

Development Server Quickstart for Interactive Testing

After getting the code, you will need a rust environment. Please investigate rustup for your platform to establish this.

Once you have the source code, you need certificates to use with the server. I recommend using let's encrypt, but if this is not possible, please use our insecure cert tool. Without certificates authentication will fail.

mkdir insecure
cd insecure
../insecure_generate_tls.sh

You can now build and run the server with the commands below. It will use a database in /tmp/kanidm.db

cd kanidmd
cargo run -- recover_account -c ./server.toml -n admin
cargo run -- server -c ./server.toml

In a new terminal, you can now build and run the client tools with:

cd kanidm_tools
cargo run -- --help
cargo run -- login -H https://localhost:8443 -D anonymous -C ../insecure/ca.pem
cargo run -- self whoami -H https://localhost:8443 -D anonymous -C ../insecure/ca.pem
cargo run -- login -H https://localhost:8443 -D admin -C ../insecure/ca.pem
cargo run -- self whoami -H https://localhost:8443 -D admin -C ../insecure/ca.pem
