Still Self Hostable?

[Lunchtime0614]

I assume this is no longer self-hostable with the profile/login screen? I have been running this from the beginning days of Flux on my own hardware....am I correct that the new version wouldn't run locally?

You can run it locally. The front-end app is decoupled from the backend. You just won’t have access to the backend functions unless you do some manual configuration around CORs and https.

Do you get any errors that prevent localhost usage? Besides the api not available from the profile tab.

I haven't tried the new version - I'm intrigued by the intervals.icu integration, which is the part I'm assuming I probably can't do locally without an intermediate DB/server. I already have it behind my domain name via cloudflare tunnel so it has a https that allows it to work.

[dvmarinoff]

Yeah, I think actually without also running the backend app locally it's not going to work.

I assume you added some custom features to your local version?

I have a bunch of .zwo files for my indoor training. I loaded a bunch of those that I could just pick instead of manually loading the file...nothing major.

Just to mention that now Auuki can store uploaded workouts. They are saved in the browser that was used to upload them. You can also delete the default ones. And you can upload multiple workouts at ones (Click Select).

Also since the integration with Intervals.icu you'd be able to manage your workouts over there and use the calendar to sync the daily workout to Auuki. Every day at first load / reload of the Auuki front-end app it will try to automatically pull the daily workout.
If you change the workout during the day say before training, you're also able to sync it with the Intervals button over at the Planned Workouts List.

@dvmarinoff Do you plan on open sourcing the backend eventually?

[dvmarinoff]

Currently I don't have plans to open-source the backend. Do you need I feature?

[quietvoid]

Not really, it works for my uses.
Just a bit iffy on having an account just for syncing with Strava/intervals.icu when it could be handled locally.

Why Oauth?

• The first reason is convenience and familiarity for users. In the particular cases of Intervals.icu and Strava having the OAuth authorization is not strictly needed. The alternative is the setup http login with Intervals, which is easy, but unfamiliar for most, and with Strava every user would need to setup their own application within the Strava settings, which might be quite tech-y for non-tech people, and we already have a lot of users that are not software devs themselves.

• And the second reason is that we have the goal is to add more platforms in the future and many of them provide API access only an a b2b bases. In that case local sync won't be possible at all.

I am open to adding the http option for Intervals.icu, but I don't have the time to plan, design and implement the feature.

On privacy, I don't collect or store any data on the server, and I deliberately left the option for user to register with fake or one of those privacy emails. The only draw back is that if you use actually fake email you won't be able to reset the password, but there are Password managers, and you can always just create another registration, I delete the inactive ones anyway, and I mean hard delete, not just switching a flag in the database. At the end these profiles exist only to facilitate the OAuth authorization and nothing else.

The only 3rd party thing that's active on the auuki.com domain is the Cloudflare bot protection (for the register forms) and the Cloudflare web analytics.

Let me know if you have any privacy concerns or something else, and I'll try to address them.

I hacked together a way of using the Intervals.icu integration without the auuki backend, by using Intervals athlete API key. It can be tested by cherry picking b03f26f
The feature can be toggled on/off in config.js
Mostly I did this to allow syncing to Intervals while hacking on other experiments in my custom fork, but could be of interest to others in this discussion.
@dvmarinoff any interest in bringing this functionality into Auuki? I'm open to help with the remaining work.

Here's a screenshot of my UI that replaces the existing Profile screen when enabled:
