While refactoring 'Impress' to introduce features from 'Magnify',
few unnecessary changes were traced in the database migrations.
Do some clean up before releasing a first version in production.
I have updated all references of "Impress" to "Meet".
Migrations were manually updated and not regenerated. Never-mind,
they all will be squashed before the first release.
I have also searched for reference to "Magnify", and replaced them
by "Meet".
While updating the backend sources, I have also fixed other parts of
the project, namely:
- Compose file
- Github documentation and CI
- Makefile commands
I picked few models from Magnify to build our MVP:
- Resource:
A generic model representing any type of resource. Though currently used only by Room,
it encapsulates a meaningful business logic as an abstract model.
- Room:
The primary object we manipulate, representing a meeting room with access
and permission controls.
- ResourceAccess
Ensures relevant users have the appropriate permissions for a given room.
** What’s different from Magnify ? **
Removed group logic; it will be added later. For now, we rely on the user model's
property to get its groups via desk.
Removed any logic or method related to Jitsi or LiveKit. These servers will be integrated
in the upcomming commits.
Focus on Room-related models to maintain a minimal and functional product (KISS principle)
until we achieve product-market fit (PMF).
Creating simple public and private, permanent and temporary rooms
is sufficient for building our MVP.
The Meeting model in Magnify, which supports recurrence, should be handled by
the collaborative calendar instead.
Adapted the unit test to use Pytest, and linted all the sources using Ruff linter.
(Migrations will be squashed before releasing the MVP)
This commit introduces a boilerplate inspired by https://github.com/numerique-gouv/impress.
The code has been cleaned to remove unnecessary Impress logic and dependencies.
Changes made:
- Removed Minio, WebRTC, and create bucket from the stack.
- Removed the Next.js frontend (it will be replaced by Vite).
- Cleaned up impress-specific backend logics.
The whole stack remains functional:
- All tests pass.
- Linter checks pass.
- Agent Connexion sources are already set-up.
Why clear out the code?
To adhere to the KISS principle, we aim to maintain a minimalist codebase. Cloning Impress
allowed us to quickly inherit its code quality tools and deployment configurations for staging,
pre-production, and production environments.
What’s broken?
- The tsclient is not functional anymore.
- Some make commands need to be fixed.
- Helm sources are outdated.
- Naming across the project sources are inconsistent (impress, visio, etc.)
- CI is not configured properly.
This list might be incomplete. Let's grind it.
