Hi, I would like to work on this issue.

[JohannesLichtenberger]

Give it a try :-) the code base is rather small, but let me know if you need assistance.

[JohannesLichtenberger]

@redwanulsourav did you work on the issue already?

[redwanulsourav]

@JohannesLichtenberger I am still working on it, I ran into some issues while setting up the server with docker, I think I have an idea to figure it out. Can I have some more time please?

[JohannesLichtenberger]

for sure, just went through some tickets/issues to ping the people if they made some progress 👍

BTW: You can improve the documentation if you figured it out :-) currently, I'm mostly working on the core and didn't set up keycloak for some time now. That is usually I'm starting it via the standalone shell script ;)

[redwanulsourav]

@JohannesLichtenberger I really appreciate the opportunity and the support. I was able to fix the issues I faced while setting up the keycloak and sirix server using docker. I think the setting up the sirixdb part locally could be updated. Specially the part where keycloak configuration process is described. I also made some changes to docker-compose.yml.

I would love to contribute in the documentation and improve it. :)

Currently, I was able to run the sirix server and login using admin account using pysirix client.

I still have to work on this issue itself. I might still need some more time to work on it. As I was able to run the server, I am planning to go through the code base and familiarize myself more. I really appreciate your help and support.

[JohannesLichtenberger]

Yes, I have to admit, that I simply downloaded Keycloak, then executed the startup shell script and used IntelliJ for starting/debugging the server most of the times...

[JohannesLichtenberger]

@redwanulsourav guess you won‘t have time to work on the issue?

[redwanulsourav]

@JohannesLichtenberger It was on my radar for a few weeks now. Can you please allow me 3 more weeks? I understand I have taken a long time on this, but I should be able to work on this in the next few weeks. I am sorry for taking long time.

[redwanulsourav]

@JohannesLichtenberger I have create a PR on this. Can you please take a look? It is not complete yet, I have just focused on creating a resource. I wanted to create a PR and to check with you if I was on the right track. Also, I am sorry for taking long time to work on this.

[JohannesLichtenberger]

@redwanulsourav do you keep on working on this? Would be great

[redwanulsourav]

@JohannesLichtenberger Yes, I will work on this and get the PR finished as soon as possible.

[JohannesLichtenberger]

@redwanulsourav any news on this?

[redwanulsourav]

I am almost done refactoring two more classes. I got stuck on refactoring one function and got distracted after that. I will be creating a PR for those classes by this weekend.

Hey! Do you need any help?

[JohannesLichtenberger]

Sure, we need every helping hand :-)

[redwanulsourav]

@V5t5d Any help is appreciated, I haven't been able to finish this. But I have gone through the code base a little bit and will be able to help if you have any questions.
