If you have feature requests or any kind of improvement proposals feel free to open an issue or share them in our [user survey](https://github.com/muety/wakapi/issues/82).
## β¨οΈ How to use?
There are different options for how to use Wakapi, ranging from our hosted cloud service to self-hosting it. Regardless of which option choose, you will always have to do the [client setup](#-client-setup) in addition.
### βοΈ Option 1: Use [wakapi.dev](https://wakapi.dev)
If you want to you out free, hosted cloud service, all you need to do is create an account and the set up your client-side tooling (see below).
However, we do not guarantee data persistence, so you might potentially lose your data if the service is taken down some day β
### π³ Option 2: Use Docker
```bash
# Create a persistent volume
$ docker volume create wakapi-data
# Run the container
$ docker run -d \
-p 3000:3000 \
-e "WAKAPI_PASSWORD_SALT=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w ${1:-32} | head -n 1)" \
-v wakapi-data:/data \
--name wakapi n1try/wakapi
```
**Note:** By default, SQLite is used as a database. To run Wakapi in Docker with MySQL or Postgres, see [Dockerfile](https://github.com/muety/wakapi/blob/master/Dockerfile) and [config.default.yml](https://github.com/muety/wakapi/blob/master/config.default.yml) for further options.
If you want to run Wakapi on **Kubernetes**, there is [wakapi-helm-chart](https://github.com/andreymaznyak/wakapi-helm-chart) for quick and easy deployment.
### π¦ Option 3: Run a release
```bash
# Download the release and unpack it
$ wget https://github.com/muety/wakapi/releases/download/1.20.2/wakapi_linux_amd64.zip
$ unzip wakapi_linux_amd64.zip
# Optionally adapt config to your needs
$ vi config.yml
# Run it
$ ./wakapi
```
### π§βπ» Option 4: Run from source
#### Prerequisites
* Go >= 1.13 (with `$GOPATH` properly set)
* gcc (to compile [go-sqlite3](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3))
* Fedora / RHEL: `dnf install @development-tools`
* Ubuntu / Debian: `apt install build-essential`
* Windows: See [here](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/issues/214#issuecomment-253216476)
#### Compile & Run
```bash
# Adapt config to your needs
$ cp config.default.yml config.yml
$ vi config.yml
# Install packaging tool
$ export GO111MODULE=on
$ go get github.com/markbates/pkger/cmd/pkger
# Build the executable
$ go generate
$ go build -o wakapi
# Run it
$ ./wakapi
```
**Note:** By default, the application is running in dev mode. However, it is recommended to set `ENV=production` for enhanced performance and security. To still be able to log in when using production mode, you either have to run Wakapi behind a reverse proxy, that enables for HTTPS encryption (see [best practices](#best-practices)) or set `security.insecure_cookies = true` in `config.yml`.
### π» Client Setup
Wakapi relies on the open-source [WakaTime](https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime) client tools. In order to collect statistics to Wakapi, you need to set them up.
1. **Set up WakaTime** for your specific IDE or editor. Please refer to the respective [plugin guide](https://wakatime.com/plugins)
2. **Editing your local `~/.wakatime.cfg`** file as follows
```ini
[settings]
# Your Wakapi server URL or 'https://wakapi.dev/api/heartbeat' when using the cloud server
api_url = http://localhost:3000/api/heartbeat
# Your Wakapi API key (get it from the web interface after having created an account)
api_key = 406fe41f-6d69-4183-a4cc-121e0c524c2b
```
Optionally, you can set up a [client-side proxy](docs/advanced_setup.md) in addition.
## π§ Configuration Options

### Supported databases
Wakapi uses [GORM](https://gorm.io) as an ORM. As a consequence, a set of different relational databases is supported.
* [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) (_default, easy setup_)
* [MySQL](https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql) (_recommended, because most extensively tested_)
* [MariaDB](https://hub.docker.com/_/mariadb) (_open-source MySQL alternative_)
* [Postgres](https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres) (_open-source as well_)
* [CockroachDB](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/install-cockroachdb-linux.html) (_cloud-native, distributed, Postgres-compatible API_)
### Client-side proxy (`optional`)
See the [advanced setup instructions](docs/advanced_setup.md).
## π§ API Endpoints
See our [Swagger API Documentation](https://wakapi.dev/swagger-ui).
### Generating Swagger docs
```bash
$ go get -u github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/swag
$ swag init -o static/docs
```
## π€ Integrations
### Prometheus Export
You can export your Wakapi statistics to Prometheus to view them in a Grafana dashboard or so. Here is how.
```bash
# 1. Start Wakapi with the feature enabled
$ export WAKAPI_EXPOSE_METRICS=true
$ ./wakapi
# 2. Get your API key and hash it
$ echo "" | base64
# 3. Add a Prometheus scrape config to your prometheus.yml (see below)
```
#### Scrape config example
```yml
# prometheus.yml
# (assuming your Wakapi instance listens at localhost, port 3000)
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'wakapi'
scrape_interval: 1m
metrics_path: '/api/metrics'
bearer_token: ''
static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:3000']
```
#### Grafana
There is also a [nice Grafana dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12790), provided by the author of [wakatime_exporter](https://github.com/MacroPower/wakatime_exporter).
### WakaTime Integration
Wakapi plays well together with [WakaTime](https://wakatime.com). For one thing, you can **forward heartbeats** from Wakapi to WakaTime to effectively use both services simultaneously. In addition, there is the option to **import historic data** from WakaTime for consistency between both services. Both features can be enabled in the _Integrations_ section of your Wakapi instance's settings page.
### GitHub Readme Stats Integrations
Wakapi also integrates with [GitHub Readme Stats](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#wakatime-week-stats) to generate fancy cards for you. Here is an example.
## π Best Practices
It is recommended to use wakapi behind a **reverse proxy**, like [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com) or _nginx_ to enable **TLS encryption** (HTTPS).
However, if you want to expose your wakapi instance to the public anyway, you need to set `server.listen_ipv4` to `0.0.0.0` in `config.yml`
## π€ Developer Notes
### Running tests
```bash
CGO_FLAGS="-g -O2 -Wno-return-local-addr" go test -json -coverprofile=coverage/coverage.out ./... -run ./...
```
### Building Tailwind
To keep things minimal, Wakapi does not contain a `package.json`, `node_modules` or any sort of frontend build step. Instead, all JS and CSS assets are included as static files and checked in to Git. This way we can avoid requiring NodeJS to build Wakapi. However, for [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation#building-for-production) it makes sense to run it through a "build" step to benefit from purging and significantly reduce it in size. To only require this at the time of development, the compiled asset is checked in to Git as well.
```bash
$ tailwindcss-cli build static/assets/vendor/tailwind.css -o static/assets/vendor/tailwind.dist.css
```

## β FAQs
Since Wakapi heavily relies on the concepts provided by WakaTime, [their FAQs](https://wakatime.com/faq) apply to Wakapi for large parts as well. You might find answers there.
What data is sent to Wakapi?
- File names
- Project names
- Editor names
- You computer's host name
- Timestamps for every action you take in your editor
- ...
See the related [WakaTime FAQ section](https://wakatime.com/faq#data-collected) for details.
If you host Wakapi yourself, you have control over all your data. However, if you use our webservice and are concerned about privacy, you can also [exclude or obfuscate](https://wakatime.com/faq#exclude-paths) certain file- or project names.
What happens if I'm offline?
All data is cached locally on your machine and sent in batches once you're online again.
How did Wakapi come about?
Wakapi was started when I was a student, who wanted to track detailed statistics about my coding time. Although I'm a big fan of WakaTime I didn't want to pay 9 $ a month back then. Luckily, most parts of WakaTime are open source!
How does Wakapi compare to WakaTime?
Wakapi is a small subset of WakaTime and has a lot less features. Cool WakaTime features, that are missing Wakapi, include:
- Leaderboards
- Embeddable Charts
- Personal Goals
- Team- / Organization Support
- Integrations (with GitLab, etc.)
- Richer API
WakaTime is worth the price. However, if you only want basic statistics and keep sovereignty over your data, you might want to go with Wakapi.
How are durations calculated?
Inferring a measure for your coding time from heartbeats works a bit different than in WakaTime. While WakaTime has timeout intervals, Wakapi essentially just pads every heartbeat, that occurs after a longer pause, with 2 extra minutes.
Here is an example (circles are heartbeats):
```
|---o---o--------------o---o---|
| |10s| 3m |10s| |
```
It is unclear how to handle the three minutes in between. Did the developer do a 3-minute break or were just no heartbeats being sent, e.g. because the developer was starring at the screen find a solution, but not actually typing code.
- WakaTime (with 5 min timeout): 3 min 20 sec
- WakaTime (with 2 min timeout): 20 sec
- Wakapi: 10 sec + 2 min + 10 sec = 2 min 20 sec
Wakapi adds a "padding" of two minutes before the third heartbeat. This is why total times will slightly vary between Wakapi and WakaTime.
## π Thanks
I highly appreciate the efforts of [@alanhamlett](https://github.com/alanhamlett) and the WakaTime team and am thankful for their software being open source.
