## Introduction ## Introduction
This is the reloaded version of the open source timetracker Kimai. This is the _reloaded_ version of the open source timetracker Kimai.
The new version has not much in common with its predecessor [Kimai v1](http://www.kimai.org) besides the basic ideas of time-tracking and the current development team. It is built from scratch and doesn't share any source code with its [predecessor](http://www.kimai.org).
But it adapts the same ideas and a clean & simple UI for your time-tracking experience.
Right now its in an early development phase, its usable but some advanced features from Kimai v1 are missing by now (like export and ODT invoices). By now it is in an pre-stable development phase, usable and with most advanced features from Kimai 1.
But we already support to [import your timesheets](var/docs/migration_v1.md) from Kimai v1. You can even [import your data](var/docs/migration_v1.md) and start testing and using it today.
It is developed with modern frameworks like [Symfony v4](https://github.com/symfony/symfony), [Doctrine](https://github.com/doctrine/), Kimai is a [multi-language application](var/docs/translations.md) and already translated to english, german, italian, french, spanish, russian, arabic, hungarian and portuguese.

## Documentation & Roadmap ## Documentation
Looking for more information about using Kimai? Check out our more detailed [documentation](var/docs/). Looking for more information about Kimai 2? Check out our detailed [documentation](var/docs/).
You can see our development roadmap for the future in the [Milestones](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/milestones) sections. ### Installation
Our roadmap is open for changes and input from the community, please [send us](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/issues) your ideas and questions. There are multiple ways to install Kimai, all of them described in the [installation docu](var/docs/installation.md):
## Installation - [Recommended installation with GIT and Composer](var/docs/installation.md#recommended-setup)
- [Development setup](var/docs/installation.md#development-installation)
- [Docker](var/docs/docker.md)
- [1-click installations](var/docs/installation.md#hosting-and-1-click-installations)
- [FTP](var/docs/installation.md#ftp-installation)
> **NOTE** ### Updating Kimai
>
> There are [further infos about installation](var/docs/installation.md) if you have to use FTP, want to develop with Kimai
or are setting up Kimai on your personal computer. There is also a [docker image](var/docs/docker.md) available.
If you want to install Kimai 2 in your production environment, then SSH into your server and change to your webserver root. Read the following documentations before you start your upgrade:
You need to install Git and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) if you haven't already.
First clone this repo: - The [update documentation](var/docs/updates.md)
- The version specific [UPGRADING guide](UPGRADING.md)
- The [release information](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/releases)
```bash ## Roadmap and releases
git clone https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2.git
cd kimai2/
```
Make sure the [file permissions are correct](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/file_permissions.html) and create your `.env` file: You can see our development roadmap in the [Milestones](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/milestones) sections.
```bash It is open for changes and input from the community, your [ideas and questions](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/issues) are welcome!
chown -R :www-data .
chmod -R g+r .
chmod -R g+rw var/
cp .env.dist .env
```
It's up to you which database server you want to use, Kimai v2 supports MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite, but SQLite is [not recommended](var/docs/faq.md) for production usage. > Kimai 2 uses a rolling release concept for delivering updates.
Configure the database connection string in your the `.env` file: > You can upgrade Kimai at any time, you don't need to wait for the next official release.
```
# adjust all settings in .env to your needs
APP_ENV=prod
DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:password@127.0.0.1:3306/database
```
Now install all dependencies for Kimai 2: Release versions will be created on a regular base and you can use these tags if you are familiar with Git,
but we will not provide support for any specific version.
```bash Every code change, whether it's a new feature or a bug fix, will be done on the master branch and
sudo -u www-data composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader intensively tested before merging. We have to do it this way, as we develop Kimai in our free time and want to put our
``` effort into the software instead of backporting changes for old versions.
Optionally create the database:
```bash
bin/console doctrine:database:create
```
Create all schema tables:
```bash
bin/console doctrine:schema:create
```
Make sure that upcoming updates can be correctly applied by setting the initial database version:
```bash
bin/console doctrine:migrations:version --add --all
```
Warm up the cache (as webserver user):
```bash
sudo -u www-data bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod
```
Create your first user with the following command. You will be asked to enter a password afterwards:
```bash
bin/console kimai:create-user username admin@example.com ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN
```
_Tip: You can skip the "create user" step, if you are going to [import data from Kimai v1](var/docs/migration_v1.md)._
For available roles, please refer to the [user documentation](var/docs/users.md).
> **NOTE**
>
> If you want to use a fully-featured web server (like Nginx or Apache) to run
> Kimai, configure it to point at the `public/` directory of the project.
> For more details, see:
> http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/web_server_configuration.html
Installation complete: enjoy time-tracking :-)
## Updating Kimai
> **NOTE**
>
> Don't forget tweaks that may be necessary to these instructions if you are using FTP, developing or updating on your
personal computer instead of a server. See [further infos about installation](var/docs/installation.md).
**STOP**
1. It's important that you don't execute the Installation steps before or after your upgrade
2. Make sure that you have a working database backup before you start the update
3. Read the [UPGRADING](UPGRADING.md) guide and [release information](https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/releases) to check if there a further steps required
Get the latest code and install dependencies:
```bash
cd kimai2/
git pull origin master
sudo -u www-data composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
```
Refresh your cache:
```bash
sudo -u www-data bin/console cache:clear --env=prod
sudo -u www-data bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod
```
And upgrade your database:
```bash
bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
```
Done! You can use the latest version of Kimai 2.
## Rolling releases & Git
Please note: Kimai 2 uses a rolling release concept for delivering updates.
Release versions will be created on a regular base and you can use these tags if you are familiar with Git, but we
will not provide support for any specific version (whether its bugs or installation/update docu).
Every code change, whether it's a new features or bug fixes, will be targeted against the master branch and
intensively tested before merging. We have to go this way, as we develop Kimai in our free time and want to put our
effort into the software instead of installation scripts and complicated upgrade processes.

## Installing on a personal computer ## Hosting and 1-click installations
### Which user to use - no need to use www-data user?!
The installation instructions are intended primarily for server applications.
If you are installing Kimai 2 on your personal computer - even for use in a local network, but where the computer primarily
serves as a single user computer - you will avoid permission errors by subsituting `www-data` in the relevant commands with your username.
In particular, `sudo -u www-data` is a command which grants the `www-data` user temporary administrator/super-user privileges).
However, depending on the configuration of your particular computer, you may be able to avoid sudo altogether (your user
may already have adequate permissions).
You can try first leaving `sudo -u www-data` altogether in the relevant commands.
If you have permission errors, you can substitute it for `sudo -u $USER` in the relevant commands (where username is the
username that runs the server - if you don't know, it is likely your own username that you login with).
### chown & chmod commands
Further, `chown` and `chmod` commands should be for the username that runs the server instead of `www-data` (again, if you
don't know, it is likely your own username).
Also note that, depending on where you are installing Kimai 2 and how your computer is configured, you may also receive
"operation not permitted" errors when setting file permissions (chown and chmod commands).
In that case, prefix them with `sudo`.
### Still doesn't work?
These infos were added to give you some possible guidance if you run into troubles. The Linux (and Mac) filesystem
with its permission structure, especially when using server software, can be tricky and challenging.
But this has NOTHING to do with Kimai and we might not be able to help you in such situations ... it is your system and
responsibility, be aware that wrong permissions might break Kimai and can also lead to security problems.
