Big Red Button

For Django

django-bigredbutton provides a big red "End All Other Sessions" button in a list of a user's current sessions.

Rendered with a light theme:

It can work with multiple session backends, and includes built-in templates for both django-qsessions and django-user-sessions, and dynamically switches between them depending on which one is identified in settings.SESSION_ENGINE.

Compatibility

• Python: >= 3.11
• Django: >= 4.0

Installation

1. Install the latest version:

   pip install django-bigredbutton
   

   poetry add django-bigredbutton
   

   uv add django-bigredbutton
   

2. Add a session backend, like django-qsessions or django-user-sessions. You can use the optional packaging shortcuts:

   pip install 'django-bigredbutton[qsessions]'
   

   poetry add 'django-bigredbutton[qsessions]'
   

   uv add 'django-bigredbutton[qsessions]'
   

   pip install 'django-bigredbutton[user-sessions]'
   

   poetry add 'django-bigredbutton[user-sessions]'
   

   uv add 'django-bigredbutton[user-sessions]'
   

   But there may be additional steps required for each session backend. Refer to the documentation for your session backend package for their installation instructions.

3. Add bigredbutton to INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py, and optionally set BIGREDBUTTON_DELETE_SUCCESS_URL_NAME to the URL name of your choice (default: list_sessions).

4. Register bigredbutton in your projects root URLConf:

   urlpatterns = [
       ...
       path("account/sessions/", include("bigredbutton.urls")),
       ...
   ]
   

Usage

Run Django's development server and navigate to the configured root for bigredbutton. The URL in these instructions will be http://localhost:8000/account/sessions/.

You will see a list of all of your current sessions. If you have more than one session (eg: you are signed in on more than one browser or device), you will see a big red "End All Other Sessions" button. That button will sign you out of all of your other sessions.

TODO

I have intentionally kept this app very small to minimize the maintenance burden. But contributions are very welcome!
