Simple work scheduling for a small team. If you have several projects that need now and then and are searching for a tool to keen an eye if one of you took the shift, read further. You write down teammates, assign them to project in an .ini file and let them choose their shift via a tui-calendar through a web service. Their selected dates are saved to a CalDAV calendar. Set-up a cron according to your needs, ex: to send the shift information at the shift beginning/every day to everybody/shift owner or only if nobody is assigned.

• Access "/" for GUI (HTML)
• Access "/who" for current shift (JSON)

Let your mail be generated by calling:

$./scheduler.py [project_name] [shift state] [whom to write] [fallback e-mail], ...

Note that if --send flag is not present, no e-mails are sent.

• project name: 'all' (default) to match all of the defined project.
• shift state
  • any - (default) Any state, doesn't matter whether it's starting, ending or if nobody has it.
  • starting - When this is the first day of a new shift.
  • proceeding - When we are in the middle of a shift.
  • ending - When this is the last day of a shift.
  • none - Send the notification only when nobody's got the shift planned.
• whom to write:
  • owner - (default) Send the notification to the shift owner only if set or to all members if nobody's got the shift.
  • all - All members of a project.
  • e-mail - Use this custom e-mail to notify.
• fallback e-mail
  • Can be set to an e-mail that gets notified when nobody's got their shift planned.
  • If not set, we notify the e-mail specified in 'who' parameter or all project members (if 'who' is set to 'owner' or 'all').
  • If set to 'mute', nobody'll be notified.

Send the notification to all members of project my_project:

./scheduler.py notify my_project any all

To all members of project my_project and of another_project when anybody shift's ending:

./scheduler.py notify my_project ending all, another_project ending all

To the shift owner if the shift is starting but don't send info if no shift is taken

./scheduler.py notify my_project starting owner mute

To an e-mail when this is the last day of a shift on any project

./scheduler.py notify all ending example@example.com

• Download the source code:

git clone git@github.com:CZ-NIC/schedule-shift.git

• Create config.ini from config.ini.default file, specify your teammates and assign them to the projects.

[team]
John Smith = john.smith@example.com
Peter =
Laura =

[projects]
First project = John Smith, Laura
Second project = Laura, Peter

• Systemd configuration: Move misc/schedule-shift.service to /etc/systemd/system/schedule-shift.service
• Nginx configuration file:

server {
    listen 7000;
    server_name mdmaug.csirt.office.nic.cz;

    location / {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/schedule-shift.sock;
    }
}

• Start and check service status

service schedule-shift start
service schedule-shift status

• If that's all right, let's make the service permanent:

systemctl enable schedule-shift

• Put a cron so that your users will receive e-mails:

30 5 * * 1-5 python3.6 /opt/schedule-shift/scheduler.py notify all starting --send
0 6 * * Tue expr `date +\%W` \% 2 > /dev/null || python3.6 /opt/schedule-shift/scheduler.py notify all starting --send # notify every second Tuesday
