Mood Tracker

Webpage for tracking your mood (pleasantness / energy).
Screenshot

Features

  • Simple to integrate - just require the server.js file from your main Express server (it just exports Express Router)
  • Easy to use - place dot using left click, save using right click (or hold on mobile)
  • Has interesting analytics
  • Easy to use API, easy to integrate in other places
  • Very small optimized mood file (only for network, moods are stored in SQLite database)
  • On average if you'll save your moods every 20 minutes (excluding sleeps) your mood file will only grow by 100 kB per YEAR
  • With current network file configuration it can store moods for ~60 years before breaking
  • Works offline - you just have to load page for the first time, then it'll work offline after (if there's no internet connection and you're saving mood, it'll get synchronized when you'll have connection again)

Installation

Into an Express server

  1. You need Express server running already or create a new one.
  2. Install dependencies in folder where your server is: npm install express better-sqlite3 body-parser dotenv.
  3. Create .env file if you dont have one yet with DB_PATH=./example.db and ADMINPASS=something.
  4. Include server.js in your server (for example app.use(require("./mood/server.js"))).
  5. Run/restart your server.

As a standalone Docker container

  1. Install docker compose if it is not already installed.
  2. Create a new user or pick an existing one to run the mood tracker. Pick a directory for the database which that user can read and write to.
  3. Edit docker-compose.yaml to set the directory where the Database goes and the UID/GID for the user that can access it.
  4. Edit the .env file in the docker folder to change the default token/password
  5. The default port is 8228 (CAT -> 228 on a phone dialpad). If you want to change that, edit app.jsin the docker folder
  6. Run sudo docker compose up to start the moodtracker, or with the -d flag added, to start it as a service.

Usage

  1. Open example.com:port/mood/auth.html in your browser and enter the token from the .envfile to be able to edit the mood. You have to replace example.com and port with the actual address and port of your server of course.
  2. Go to example.com:port/mood
  3. Right click (or hold on phone) on dot to save mood.

Mood file format

Every mood is 6 bytes:

  • Int8 Pleasantness * 100
  • Int8 Energy * 100
  • UInt32BE Date.now() / 1000 - mood_epoch

Mood epoch is by default 1682726400 (2023-04-29). It is advised to change this date in code to whatever day you start using moodtracker to have most years possible in future.
