Plugin structure

DutyBoard comes with a flexible plugin structure. You create a Python file like plugin/example/example_plugin.py in your container. Then simply set DUTY_BOARD_PLUGIN_LOCATION to that file, and DutyBoard will automatically load everything according to your specification.

The example plugin comes with:

• iCalendar support to figure out who is on Duty.
• LDAP integration to enrich the information of who is on Duty.
• Customization options to modify the front-end according to your companies style.

Why this project?

Larger corporations often have many Duty schedules. This is often to shield team members from ad-hoc work during their work-week or to ensure the platform runs smoothly 24/7. However, exposing Duty schedules is easy at the start, but once you have three schedules, it becomes unclear who is on duty. Hence, a small front-end usually solves this, but that require manual intervention when the schedule changes. This projects aims to solve that by automatically fetching who is on duty from iCalendars
