(instructions currently not working)

Switch to root to make things easier.

yay -S

export TASKDDATA=/var/lib/taskd

Edit /usr/share/doc/taskd/pki/vars so that ``CN'' = the hostname (IP is fine).

cd /usr/share/doc/taskd/pki

Execute the generate file to generate a selfsigned certificate for the server. These will be *.pem-files. Copy all *.pem-files to /var/lib/taskd.

Make sure a copy of ca.cert.pem remains to generate user-certificates later.

Taskd Configurations

taskd config --force client.cert $TASKDDATA/client.cert.pem

taskd config --force client.key $TASKDDATA/client.key.pem

taskd config --force server.cert $TASKDDATA/server.cert.pem

taskd config --force server.key $TASKDDATA/server.key.pem

taskd config --force server.crl $TASKDDATA/server.crl.pem

taskd config --force ca.cert $TASKDDATA/ca.cert.pem

Change Taskd Log Location

The default is /tmp/log, which obviously you don't want.

touch /var/log/taskd.log

chown taskd:taskd /var/log/taskd.log

taskd config --force log /var/log/taskd.log

Finally, set up the servername - the same one as in the certificates. Mine is ``testarch''.

taskd config --force server testarch:9001

Adding users

Let's add the group home'', then the user ghost'', will go in that group.

taskd add org home

taskd add user home ghost

3f9e6154-25cb-4e45-88bb-45e98feef904

taskd add user home alfred

4fbb319c-c493-437a-ab7a-028f5b75e522

The user then gets a key.

Finally, make sure that taskd can read its own data>

chown -R taskd:taskd /var/lib/taskd/orgs

... or perhaps the entire directory of /var/lib/taskd/.

Then it's back to /usr/share/doc/taskd/pki

Generate some userfiles:

./generate.client ghost

./generate.client alfred

The bob and ghost *pem files have to be added to the given users' home directories.

Setting up Users

sudo apt-get install taskwarrior taskd

task

Then move the *pem files into the .task directory of the user.

Don't forget to add the ca.key.pem from /usr/share/doc/taskd/pki!

Attempt 2

Well, none of that worked.

New info from taskwarrior

Default port = 53589

starting with

taskd init

taskd config server localhost:53589

View supported settings with taskdrc.

!!! Start with taskdctl start

Do a non-daemon version with

taskd server --data $TASKDDATA --daemon

Systemd Unit file

This needs to be edited for "$TASKDDATA", "$TASKDUSER", and "$TASKDGROUP".


Unit]
Description=Secure server providing multi-user, multi-client access to Taskwarrior data
Requires=network.target
After=network.target
Documentation=http://taskwarrior.org/docs/#taskd
 
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/taskd server --data $TASKDDATA

Enable all this by copying the file to /etc/systemd/system, reload daemon, then start it.

Key for ghost: 29bd8a06-2cc0-4163-905d-6216257a3031

Different:

$ task config taskd.certificate -- ~/.task/first_last.cert.pem $ task config taskd.key -- ~/.task/first_last.key.pem $ task config taskd.ca -- ~/.task/ca.cert.pem

Trust

For troubleshooting we can set:

taskd.trust=ignore [hostname]

taskd.trust=allow all

taskd.trust=strict

User Defines Attributes - UDA

Each UDA has two to four attributes: type (numeric or string) and label are necessary:

task config uda.THING.type {numeric,string}

task config uda.THING.label Thg

Constrain these attributes to a comma-delineated set with:

task config uda.THING.values brown,orange,green

You can also show how important the Attribute makes something:

urgency.uda.THING.coefficient=2.8

Aliases

Alias delete' to rm' with:

task config alias.rm delete
