node version - mongo - api - best practice examples

Wekan / General · January 2, 2020 at 5:45pm (Edited 4 years ago)

Is there any reason that I cannot run wekan on Node 10.15.3?

Can I just use an existing mongo server and just create a new user?

Is best practice for "development only" to use mongo as localhost or do what you would normally and keep wekan on it own server and remote access mongo?

If main use case is to populate and retrieve via another app (through api) and just use wekan to display cards/lists/tasks and perhaps just signal that a task is completed, is there any best practice configurations you would suggest?

If I already have an existing invitation/registration/login/authentication/two factor in place, is it easy to just populate the user tables direct? Is there an example on how best to do this with the api? if not, directly into mongo?

For creating users, first login to API with admin user username and password as form data to get bearer token https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API#example-call---as-form-data

                            There could be some current production fibers version mentioned at Dockerfile or snapcraft.yaml , that works
