# Helix

Helix is a self-hosted identity and access management (IAM) and organisation
administration platform built by [OnixByte](https://onixbyte.com). It manages
users, roles, departments, positions and navigation menus behind a single
sign-on experience, with support for Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), WeCom
(WeChat Work) and multi-factor authentication.

The project is organised as a monorepo:

- **`server/`** — Spring Boot 3 REST API (Java 21, PostgreSQL, Redis, Flyway)
- **`web/`** — React 19 single-page application (Vite, Ant Design, Tailwind CSS, Redux Toolkit)
- **`docker/`** — deployment support files used by Docker Compose

## Features

- **Authentication & single sign-on** — username/password login with captcha,
  Microsoft Entra ID (MSAL) sign-in, WeCom login and MFA
- **User management** — create, edit and deactivate users; assign roles, departments and positions
- **Role-based access control** — roles with fine-grained authorities, enforced across all endpoints
- **Organisation management** — departments, positions and custom navigation menus
- **Asset storage** — optional S3-compatible object storage for uploaded files
- **Internationalisation** — English (`en-GB`) and Chinese (`zh-CN`) message bundles
- **Responsive admin UI** — Ant Design + Tailwind CSS front end

## Quick start

### Full stack with Docker Compose

Requires [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) with the Compose plugin.

```bash
cp .env.example .env      # optional: adjust ports, secrets and integrations
docker compose up -d --build
```

Once the containers are healthy:

| Service            | URL                                |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| Web UI             | <http://localhost>                  |
| REST API           | <http://localhost:8080>             |
| Health check       | <http://localhost:8080/actuator/health> |

Login works out of the box with username/password + captcha. Microsoft Entra ID
and WeCom sign-in require configuring their credentials (see below).

### Manual development

#### Server (JDK 21)

```bash
cd server
cp config/application-prod.yml.example config/application-prod.yml   # edit to match your environment
SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=prod ./gradlew bootRun
```

The API starts on <http://localhost:8080>.

#### Web (Node 22+ with pnpm)

```bash
cd web
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env.development.local   # point the API base URL at your dev server
pnpm dev
```

Set `VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080` in `.env.development.local` to call
the locally running API directly. The Vite dev server listens on
<http://localhost:5173>.

## Configuration

Runtime configuration is externalised through environment variables (see
`server/config/application-prod.yml.example` for the complete reference).

### Docker Compose (`.env`)

## Development

- Architecture and conventions are documented in [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md).
- See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to contribute.
- Database schema is managed with Flyway — add migrations under
  `server/src/main/resources/db/migrations/` rather than relying on JPA `ddl-auto`.
