Open-Source Apps: CodeX Docs and OpenDocMan

Published: Feb 8, 2024 by Isaac Johnson

Today, let’s checkout some Open-Source apps, namely CodeX Docs and OpenDocMan. CodeX is the name of a group of OpenSource engineers and an overall grouping of their packages. OpenDocMan is a pretty old PHP driven Document management system created by Stephen Lawrence Jr.. While, there hasn’t been a release in the Github repo since Mar of 2021, I do see active merges so perhaps a new release is coming. In our writeup, we’ll being using latest from the main (master`) branch.

CodeX Docs

I know of CodeX from their Editor.js. But they also make a server-side implementation as well.

I found out about CodeX from a MariusHosting post a while back.

Docker Installation

Let’s start with the Docker implementation

I need to create some folders first

builder@builder-T100:~$ mkdir codex
builder@builder-T100:~$ cd codex/
builder@builder-T100:~/codex$ ls
builder@builder-T100:~/codex$ mkdir uploads
builder@builder-T100:~/codex$ mkdir db

I’ll then need to make a docs-config.yaml. I based it off the one in their Github repo minus the S3 block.

builder@builder-T100:~/codex$ cat docs-config.yaml
port: 3000
host: "localhost"
uploads:
  driver: "local"
  local:
    path: "./uploads"
frontend:
  title: "CodeX Docs"
  description: "Free Docs app powered by Editor.js ecosystemt"
  startPage: ""
  misprintsChatId: "12344564"
  yandexMetrikaId: ""
  carbon:
    serve: ""
    placement: ""
  menu:
    - "Guides"
    - title: "CodeX"
      uri: "https://codex.so"

auth:
  password: mypassword
  secret: shhdonttell

hawk:
#  frontendToken: "123"
#  backendToken: "123"

database:
  driver: local # you can change database driver here. 'mongodb' or 'local'
  local:
    path: ./db

Now I can launch it in my Dockerhost

$ sudo docker run -p 8095:3000 -v /home/builder/codex/uploads:/usr/src/app/uploads -v /home/builder/codex/db:/usr/src/app/db -v /home/builder/codex/docs-config.yaml:/usr/src/app/docs-config.yaml --name codex -d ghcr.io/codex-team/codex.docs:latest

Since I want to immediately try this remotely, I’ll create the A Record

$ cat r53-codex.json
{
    "Comment": "CREATE codex fb.s A record ",
    "Changes": [
      {
        "Action": "CREATE",
        "ResourceRecordSet": {
          "Name": "codex.freshbrewed.science",
          "Type": "A",
          "TTL": 300,
          "ResourceRecords": [
            {
              "Value": "75.73.224.240"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }

$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id Z39E8QFU0F9PZP --change-batch file://r53-codex.json
{
    "ChangeInfo": {
        "Id": "/change/C0369074QL16RY8M5PF3",
        "Status": "PENDING",
        "SubmittedAt": "2024-01-10T00:50:58.985Z",
        "Comment": "CREATE codex fb.s A record "
    }
}

This first path will just front the traffic from port 8095 on the dockerhost

$ cat ingress.docker.codex.yaml

Which I applied

$ kubectl apply -f ingress.docker.codex.yaml
endpoints/codex-external-ip created
service/codex-external-ip created
ingress.networking.k8s.io/codexingress created

I can now see the live site

/content/images/2024/02/codex-01.png

To add a page, one has to enter a password

/content/images/2024/02/codex-02.png

I can now start to add content with the password (mypassword) entered

/content/images/2024/02/codex-03.png

let’s work out the first page together

I now have this page setup

/content/images/2024/02/codex-04.png

If we hop to a different browser to check non-logged in users we can see it here:

/content/images/2024/02/codex-05.png

Native Kubernetes

I’ll start by taking my docs-config.yaml and create a ConfigMap out of it

builder@LuiGi17:~/Workspaces/codex$ vi docs-config.yaml
builder@LuiGi17:~/Workspaces/codex$ kubectl create configmap codex-config --from-file=./docs-config.yaml --dry-run=client -o yaml >> k8s.deployment.yaml
builder@LuiGi17:~/Workspaces/codex$ vi k8s.deployment.yaml

Next, I need to add some PVCs for app uploads and the db volume:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: codex-db
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  storageClassName: managed-nfs-storage
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 5Gi
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: codex-api
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  storageClassName: managed-nfs-storage
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 5Gi

I’ll need a deployment, service and lastly Ingress added.

All in, the file now looks like this:

---

I’ll start by removing the Docker version

$ kubectl delete -f ingress.docker.codex.yaml
endpoints "codex-external-ip" deleted
service "codex-external-ip" deleted
ingress.networking.k8s.io "codexingress" deleted

Then applying this new one

$ kubectl apply -f ingress.all.codex.yaml
persistentvolumeclaim/codex-db created
persistentvolumeclaim/codex-uploads created
deployment.apps/codex created
service/codex created
ingress.networking.k8s.io/codexingress created
configmap/codex-config created

I can see it is running already

/content/images/2024/02/codex-06.png

As I have two pods running

$ kubectl get pods | grep codex
codex-5bdb5ccf57-zctqd                                   1/1     Running            0                  3m9s
codex-5bdb5ccf57-t4qqt                                   1/1     Running            0                  3m9s

I can jump into one and see the format of this file

$ kubectl exec -it codex-5bdb5ccf57-zctqd -- /bin/sh
/usr/src/app # ls
db                docs-config.yaml  package.json      uploads
dist              node_modules      public            yarn.lock
/usr/src/app # cat ./db/pages.db

I tried editting with vi

/content/images/2024/02/codex-07.png

and I can go to the other pod and see it’s there

builder@LuiGi17:~/Workspaces/jekyll-blog$ kubectl exec -it codex-5bdb5ccf57-t4qqt -- /bin/sh
/usr/src/app # ls
db                docs-config.yaml  package.json      uploads

cat: can't open './db/pages': No such file or directory
/usr/src/app # cat ./db/pages.db
{"_id":"Y3bQwyJXNZlqh3f9","title":"First Page with Kubernetes. editted w vi","uri":"first-page-with-kubernetes","body":{"time":1705017534614,"blocks":[{"id":"9Pq3-QBzh-","type":"header","data":{"text":"First Page with Kubernetes","level":2}},{"id":"lULydonHCh","type":"paragraph","data":{"text":"Yay!"}}],"version":"2.25.0"},"parent":"0"}

However, on refresh, I would get either a 404 or a cached copy of the old page

/content/images/2024/02/codex-08.png

I rotated the pods

$ kubectl delete pods -l app=codex
pod "codex-5bdb5ccf57-zctqd" deleted
pod "codex-5bdb5ccf57-t4qqt" deleted

but still showing me the last page

/content/images/2024/02/codex-09.png

I editted in the UI

/content/images/2024/02/codex-10.png

However, every other reload or so showed the old page. Perhaps this isn’t an app that can do multiple replicas well.

I decided to scale down to avoid that issue

$ kubectl scale deployment/codex --replicas=1
deployment.apps/codex scaled
$ kubectl get pods -l app=codex
NAME                     READY   STATUS        RESTARTS   AGE
codex-5bdb5ccf57-x6k8t   1/1     Running       0          4m38s
codex-5bdb5ccf57-xsj44   1/1     Terminating   0          4m38s

Checking the pod, I do see the edit

$ kubectl exec codex-5bdb5ccf57-x6k8t cat "/usr/src/app/db/pages.db"
kubectl exec [POD] [COMMAND] is DEPRECATED and will be removed in a future version. Use kubectl exec [POD] -- [COMMAND] instead.

Small Images would upload but I got errors when tryin a 3Mb image

/content/images/2024/02/codex-12.png

I’m going to tweak the ingress with some new annotations


apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout: "3600"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout: "3600"
    ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: "0"
    ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: "0"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"
    nginx.org/client-max-body-size: "0"
    nginx.org/proxy-connect-timeout: "3600"
    nginx.org/proxy-read-timeout: "3600"

Then re-apply (I find with Nginx, a delete then add works better)

$ kubectl delete ingress codexingress
ingress.networking.k8s.io "codexingress" deleted

$ kubectl apply -f ./ingress.all.codex.yaml
persistentvolumeclaim/codex-db unchanged
persistentvolumeclaim/codex-uploads unchanged
deployment.apps/codex configured
service/codex unchanged
ingress.networking.k8s.io/codexingress created
configmap/codex-config configured

This time it worked great

/content/images/2024/02/codex-13.png

And we can see the larger image

/content/images/2024/02/codex-14.png

If we wanted to embed a video, such as from YT, we can get the embed video

/content/images/2024/02/codex-15.png

Now I can add it to a CodeX Page

/content/images/2024/02/codex-16.png

and we can see the video and play it

/content/images/2024/02/codex-17.png

OpenDocMan

First, I just have to call it out. The name of this tool really just makes me think of people yelling

Let’s first bring down the latest Git code from their repo

This worked

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-01.png

I clicked “Create Configuration” which brought me to a setup config page

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-02.png

In the next page, I left defaults except for setting an “Administrator Password”

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-03.png

The last step was “Run the Install”

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-04.png

The next page linked to a Readme and what I assume are upgrade schema steps - I clicked on the one that matched my detected database

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-05.png

It seems to have done something

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-06.png

Clicking the “Click Here” brings me to the login page

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-07.png

I tried using “Administrator” with the password I had set, but got an error page. Following the docs, I found it is supposed to be ‘admin’. But even that gives me an error

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-08.png

Oddly, entering ‘admin’ with no password seemed to work

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-09.png

We can create a user who is non-admin and determine the Deptarments for which they are a reviewer

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-10.png

Or just make them an admin

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-11.png

I see a blinky blue box indicating the user add was successful

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-12.png

I can now edit the admin user and set a password as well

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-13.png

Adding Documents

Let’s add a Document. I’ll start with a PDF

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-14.png

I got a size alert

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-15.png

Seems 24Mb is too big

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-16.png

I’ll try a smaller doc

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-17.png

That worked

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-18.png

I can chose to “view” and open it in a browser or Download (with the button)

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-19.png

I can also “Check Out” the file

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-20.png

When I “Check Out” it now shows as a “Document waiting to be reviewed”

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-21.png

I’ll see what “Authorize does”

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-22.png

I don’t really see anything different in the history

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-23.png

Let me “Check in” the file

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-24.png

I’m prompted to select, what I assume to be, the revised version

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-25.png

We can now see that in the history

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-26.png

I can always go back to the older version and see the “before” as well

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-27.png

Document sizes

I can change the value in Settings if I really want 24Mb file

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-28.png

Let’s review the one Document I have there:

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-29.png

Its filename is “WL-CKA-50-MonitoringApplicatiions-3.pdf”

If I search for “app”

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-30.png

It will come back with the results

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-31.png

It also worked to serach for “File #” of “1” and “Author” of “Admin”

Reprots

We can view things like the access log

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-32.png

There is a “File List Export” that tries to load /reports/file_list.php. That exists on the container, and the permissions are fine, but something is not letting the webserver load it and just redirects to https://localhost:8443//reports/index.php

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-33.png

Just because I was nosy, I hopped on the container, verified the file, perms and then moved it out of “/reports” and updated the PHP to remove all the ../ in the code

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-34.png

Now, if I manually go to https://localhost:8443/file_list.php I get a nice CSV export

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-35.png

User Defined Fields

Maybe we wish to collect just a bit more information, such as an OID or Product Number.

Let’s add a “UPN” field of type text

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-36.png

Now when I edit the file, I can set the Product Number

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-37.png

Moreover, that is a field I can use in search

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-38.png

For my use case, where I deliver content organized over “sequences”, this is particularly useful.

Kubernetes

Let’s help build out a chart others can use. I didn’t see a Kubernetes setup in the OS repo so I made one.

I’ll first need to build the container

I now have a public container for consumption https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/idjohnson/opendocman/general.

I built out a chart. I had planned to use MariaDB 10.3 but it was too old and no longer hosted in Bitnami:

Once I updated to 11.0.10

$h elm dependency...
...snip..

Update Complete. ⎈Happy Helming!⎈
Saving 1 charts
Downloading mariadb from repo https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
Deleting outdated charts

I then installed:

builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/opendocman/helm$ helm install opendocman -n opendocman --create-namespace ./opendocman
NAME: opendocman
LAST DEPLOYED: Sat Jan 13 10:55:56 2024
NAMESPACE: opendocman
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
NOTES:
1. Get the application URL by running these commands:
  export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace opendocman -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=opendocman,app.kubernetes.io/instance=opendocman" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
  export CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace opendocman $POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
  echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to use your application"
  kubectl --namespace opendocman port-forward $POD_NAME 8080:$CONTAINER_PORT

And could see the pods came up, as well as the PVCs

builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/opendocman/helm$ kubectl get pods -n opendocman

I can now port-forward and do the same setup again

Though, this time I saw an error

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-41.png

I tried the service name

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-42.png

but timed out:

Hopping on the container, I could see MariaDB was not allowing us in (trying the service name, service IP and pod IP)

I’ve fought for a while to get the Dependency chart to work:

apiVersion: v2
name: opendocman
description: A Helm chart for Kubernetes

type: application
version: 0.1.0
appVersion: "1.16.0"


dependencies:
  - name: mariadb
    version: 11.0.14
    repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
    tags:
      - mysql
      - database
      - mariadb
      - bitnami
    values:
      mariadb:
        allowRootFromRemote: true
      auth:
        rootPassword: opendocman
        user: opendocman
        password: opendocman
        database: opendocman

I had to do two things; move the values out of Chart.yaml and into my main values.yaml

mariadb:
  mariadb:
    allowRootFromRemote: true
  auth:
    rootPassword: opendocman
    username: opendocman
    password: opendocman
    database: opendocman

Also, the host name that ultimately did work was the ClusterIP of the mariadb service. While it suggested hostname;port=3306, that doesn’t seem to work for me.

Once config was done, I was prompted to edit any further settings. I tweaked the name and uppped the max_filesize

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-45.png

We can now see our title

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-46.png

Next, I’ll add an ingress

$ cat r53-opendocman.json
{
    "Comment": "CREATE opendocman fb.s A record ",
    "Changes": [
      {
        "Action": "CREATE",
        "ResourceRecordSet": {

          "Type": "A",

          "ResourceRecords": [
            {
              "Value": "75.73.224.240"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }

        "Comment": "CREATE opendocman fb.s A record "
    }
}

My chart does have an ingress block we can use. However, I’ll just do it outside the chart this time.

$ cat opendocman.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress

              number: 80
        path: /
        pathType: ImplementationSpecific
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - opendocman.freshbrewed.science
    secretName: opendocman-tls

$ kubectl apply -f opendocman.yaml -n opendocman
ingress.networking.k8s.io/opendocmaningress created

We can now reach our OpenDocMan with proper TLS

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-47.png

Because I used Ingress outside, I can redo this - such as switching storage classes, but leave the ingress in place

$ helm delete opendocman -n opendocman && kubectl delete pvc -n opendocman data-mariadb-0 & kubectl delete pvc -n opendocman data-opendocman-mariadb-0 &
[1] 31984
[2] 31985

$ kubectl get pvc -n opendocman
No resources found in opendocman namespace.

I’ll now re-install with a difference StorageClass. PVC modifications are one of the few things that do not work so well with helm update. My experience has been they require a manual removal and replacment.

I’ll now install with my managed NFS storage class

$ helm install opendocman -n opendocman --create-namespace --set appconfig.storageClassName=managed-nfs-storage --set appdata.storageClassName=managed-nfs-storage --set appdata.size=10Gi ./opendocman
NAME: opendocman

  echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to use your application"

One needs to move fast since anyone, at this moment, could configure and set a password

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-48.png

As before, we’ll use the Cluster IP for the MariaDB service

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-49.png

I’ll try a large file

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-50.png

It took a long time, but did get uploaded

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-51.png

I made one last change the helm chart. I found some of my storageClasses just refused to jive with the PHP backend.

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-52.png

I added an initContainer


      initContainers:
      - name: docpermfix
        image: busybox:latest
        command: ["sh","-c","chown -R 1000:1000 /var/www/html/docker-configs && chown -R 1000:1000 /var/www/document_repository"]
        resources:
          limits:
            cpu: "1"
            memory: 1Gi
        volumeMounts:
          - name: appdata
            mountPath: /var/www/document_repository
          - name: appconfig
            mountPath: /var/www/html/docker-configs

But that didn’t work, at least for me. I ended up creating a sub-folder for uploads that would let me chown that

      initContainers:
      - name: docpermfix
        image: busybox:latest
        command: ["sh","-c","mkdir -p /var/www/document_repository/docs && chown -R 1000:1000 /var/www/document_repository/docs"]
        resources:
          limits:
            cpu: "1"
            memory: 1Gi
        volumeMounts:
          - name: appdata
            mountPath: /var/www/document_repository

Thus ensuring we could use durable storage, at least for docs

$ helm install opendocman -n opendocman --create-namespace --set appconfig.storageClassName=local-path --set appdata.storageClassName=managed-nfs-storage --set appdata.size=10Gi ./opendocman
NAME: opendocman

  export CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace opendocman $POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
  echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to use your application"
  kubectl --namespace opendocman port-forward $POD_NAME 8080:$CONTAINER_PORT

And I use the “docs” subfolder in the config

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-54.png

Which we can see the durable NAS back-end here

/content/images/2024/02/opendocman-53.png

I put the Helm chart into a forked repo for you to use https://github.com/idjohnson/opendocman/tree/create-helm-charts/helm. I did create a PR for the original owner in case the owner wants it.

Summary

I was initially wary of CodeX as it was founded by Peter Savchenko (or his twitter page if you use that tool). I’m trying to stay a-political in this blog, however, personally, I do avoid all things from Russia due to the Ukraine invasion. That said, from the Instagram it seems it’s a global group and non-political. From the vk site it suggests that they still have regular CodeX meetups in St. Petersburg.

With regards to OpenDocMan, It would appear the underlying author has pivoted to “Logical Arts LLC” and actively develops a commercial version now called “SecureDocMan”. Their “About Us” says: “SecureDocMan is part of Logical Arts LLC, an Internet solutions provider based out of California. Logical Arts LLC began back in 2002 as a provider of real estate solutions, specializing in listing data management. At the same time, we began developing our first document management software project, OpenDocMan, which we still actively develop and support”.

I found both tools to fill a niche. I actually like the OpenDocMan for having files that are deliverables with versions. If I had to deliver sequences for a Lab again, this would be a nice hand-off. I could also see it used by companies getting work from subcontractors where they could upload a completed “thing” for review. I do wish it had a better backend or way to easily dump all the files for backup. Currently the “files” end up as “.DAT” files on the backend.
