Installation

Configuration

Most of the configuration tasks are managed through the appsettings.json file. Ensure you provide a valid connection string to the database within this file. Refer to connectionstrings.com for examples.

The database will be automatically created on startup for the provided connectionString.

Configure local accounts

To activate local accounts, ensure that the ENABLE_LOCAL_LOGIN setting is set to true. After installing the database, create a local admin user before utilizing the application.

Configure LDAP accounts

BlazorForms supports LDAP login alongside local accounts. To enable LDAP, set ENABLE_LDAP_LOGIN to true and provide the necessary details for LDAP_SERVER, DOMAIN_SERVER and DistinguishedName.

Create admin account

If you only want to use local accounts, you'll need to create an admin user by yourself.

  1. Navigate your terminal to the directory containing the BlazorForms.exe file.
  2. Execute the following command:
BlazorForms.exe -setup

Setup BlazorForms

  1. Choose option 1 to create a new admin account.

Hosting

Hosting this app is quite simple. It supports all hosting possibilities from ASP.NET Core. For more information take a look on the official docs from Microsoft.

Recommendations

This app is storing uploaded files within the database. The default limit from MariaDB is 1MB per request. We highly recommend you increase this setting on your server to something which fits your use case. This limit can be increased by changing the value of max_allowed_packet from your MariaDb server.

This can usually be done within the my.ini file.

NOT READY YET

This Software is still in development and should not be used right now since it's missing some major core functionalities.
