A newer version of EnvelopeBudget as a web site
- I do envelope budgeting on a console app but it would be nice to have a Web UI that also works on mobile and can be hosted in a LAN
- Do things differently than what I do at work
- Chance to learn to implement things such as HTMX into something I use
An easy to use database that I can get up and running on ARM64 Linux.
Started with C# on this project, but decided to try something new. Other stuff I already built will use C# for now.
Trying out a world where nice, modern looking webpages doesn't need a whole lot of custom JavaScript. Also I don't know webpack and I don't want to learn webpack.
I wanted something simple and smaller than bootstrap that still has all the features I could use. It also uses the checkbox hack to bring up modals, thus mostly avoiding having to do any javascript callbacks.
Trying out an idea if the application can run on different databases without the application knowing anything about the database by being restricted to the ODBC interface. It also gives me a chance to also try out other databases without changing application code.
A console app to allow a local admin to reset a password. The console app expects two arguments: the path to an ini file, and a user "email"
Ini is used because its easy to just have an ini file lying around that everything has a parser for and can use in python projects that use odbc on linux.
[MariaEnvelope]
Driver=MariaDB Unicode
Servername= database_address
Database=envelope_database_name
UID=sql_username
PWD=sql_password
The EnvelopeDbUp app.settings has dbINISection field in case you want the envelope app to use a different sql user than what the website would use.
Packages needed:
- odbc-mariadb (MariaDB ODBC Client)
- libodbc2 (Used by System.Data.Odbc)
/etc/odbcinst.ini can be checked for what driver names are configured by the package manager
