Horilla - Open Source HR Software

[nikhilravi]

@BrutalBirdie Hi ,
The documentation site is going to be changed from https://horilla.com/docs to https://docs.horilla.com . There is a separate documentation repo for Horilla. You can find that at https://github.com/horilla-opensource/horilladocs.

Thank you

@nikhilravi thanks and welcome. It seems you're one of the primary contributors to Horilla? Thanks for chiming in

[BrutalBirdie]

Just wanted to ask the same. @nikhilravi are you https://github.com/nikhilhorilla ?

[nikhilravi]

@BrutalBirdie Yes, but that account is not so active in github presently. That's kind of my secondary account which I used for the initial commits in Horilla. But that is not currently active now.

Thank you

[nikhilravi]

@jdaviescoates Yes

[BrutalBirdie]

Ahhhh! Awesome to have you here!
Would you mind starring your timezone with me? I'd like to continue packaging Horilla I might have some more question, if this is okay with you

[BrutalBirdie]

Also, just created my first PR to fix some simple warning
Issue #744 => PR #745

@BrutalBirdie
Hey! Thrilled to be here! I'm in GMT+5:30, IST(Indian Standard Time). Feel free to keep packaging Horilla and hit me up with any questions—happy to help!

Okay, here is the first one that buggs me.
I just did a Cloudron setup https://horilla.cloudron.dev/ init the demo db. (login if you want to admin:admin)
Company icons missing in media, sure makes sense. They do net get downloaded in the demo db init setup, I guess.
Now I uploaded 3x other company logos.
black, green and red.
All 3x files exist, but get a 404.

Why?

https://horilla.cloudron.dev/media/base/icon/black.png is 404
but!:

ls -lah media/base/icon/
total 60K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K May 17 08:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K May 17 07:56 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  24K May 17 07:59 green.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  13K May 17 08:00 red.png

For now I've identified the following folders as runtimeDirs meaning, they need read-write access. Explanation behind runtimeDirs in the context of Cloudron => https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/manifest/#runtimedirs
Many are the case because __pycache__ is being written into them and also from migrations:

  "runtimeDirs": [
    "/app/code/horilla_documents",
    "/app/code/payroll",
    "/app/code/.venv/",
    "/app/code/facedetection",
    "/app/code/geofencing",
    "/app/code/helpdesk",
    "/app/code/pms",
    "/app/code/recruitment",
    "/app/code/accessibility",
    "/app/code/asset",
    "/app/code/horilla_api",
    "/app/code/offboarding",
    "/app/code/horilla_audit",
    "/app/code/horilla_crumbs",
    "/app/code/horilla_automations",
    "/app/code/horilla_backup",
    "/app/code/horilla",
    "/app/code/attendance",
    "/app/code/onboarding",
    "/app/code/horilla_views",
    "/app/code/biometric",
    "/app/code/employee",
    "/app/code/leave",
    "/app/code/base",
    "/app/code/notifications",
    "/app/code/project"
  ]

This is "meh".
The core application should be read-only, I remember I tried to do:

uv run manage.py makemigrations
uv run manage.py migrate
uv run manage.py compilemessages

inside the Dockerfile to have all that as read-only but then there were still errors
Will have to look into that again.

@BrutalBirdie The problem is likely due to the media folder being owned by root, while the application server (typically running as a non-root user inside Cloudron) doesn't have read access.
Can you confirm whether the Cloudron running user has the access for the same?

[BrutalBirdie]

Agree it should not be run as root. but if everything runs as root, should work, right?
