Tool Access Control & Operations System

TACOS is a React/NodeJS based solution for managing tool access control in a hack-/makerspace environment.

TACOS provides a standardized solution to centralize registration and access control (lockout) for tools, appliances and others points of access control around a shared workshop.

TACOS allows users to easily activate and use tools, while administrators can easily register and manage access to those tools.

Usage

TACOS can be run standalone or as a Docker container.

Config

Start by adding a new config.json file, see config.sample.json for an example.

OAuth Access

When setting up OAuth providers, the callback set in the provider should be https:///oauth/(github|google|slack)/callback.

For google callbacks you cannot use internal IP addresses however you can use a host name with a valid domain name regardless if the IP resolves to an internal or external address.

Docker container

Docker

docker run --name tacos -d -v $(pwd)/config/config.json:/app/config/config.json -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data -p 3000:30000 vanhack/tacos

Docker Compose

Example docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3"
