PermitDesk

Internal portal for managing spridningstillstånd (dissemination permits from Lantmäteriet) for drone material at Fastighetsbyrån Öland.

The core question PermitDesk answers for any uploaded drone material:

Får detta material publiceras just nu? (JA / NEJ / OSÄKERT)

What it does

• Tracks each drone job as a case from intake to approved/rejected decision
• Owns process state, status history, and publication eligibility
• Stores files in OneDrive/SharePoint (locally on disk in dev)
• Reads the shared Lantmäteriet mailbox, classifies mail, saves it as PDF, and updates status
• Surfaces unmatched mail for manual review rather than silently dropping it

The database is the source of truth for status and metadata. OneDrive/SharePoint is the source of truth for files.

Stack

ASP.NET Core (Blazor Web App) · MudBlazor · PostgreSQL · Entity Framework Core · .NET 10

Later: Microsoft Graph (storage + mailbox), Playwright (Lantmäteriet form automation).

Status

Pre-MVP. See open issues for current work.

Run locally

Requires .NET 10 SDK and a running PostgreSQL.

1. Create the database and role (one-time):

   psql -U postgres -c "CREATE ROLE permitdesk WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'permitdesk';"
   psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE permitdesk_dev OWNER permitdesk;"

2. Create src/Voluble.PermitDesk.Web/appsettings.Local.json (gitignored) with the connection string:

   {
     "ConnectionStrings": {
       "PermitDesk": "Host=localhost;Port=5432;Database=permitdesk_dev;Username=permitdesk;Password=permitdesk"
     },
     "Storage": {
       "Local": {
         "Root": "C:\\path\\to\\local\\storage"
       }
     }
   }

   Storage:Local:Root is where case folders are created on disk. Pick any absolute path; it'll be created on first use.

3. Apply migrations and run:

   cd src/Voluble.PermitDesk.Web
   dotnet ef database update
   dotnet run

4. (Optional) Seed 15 realistic test cases:

   dotnet run --project src/Voluble.PermitDesk.Web -- seed

   Idempotent — re-running skips cases already on disk.

5. (One-time) Install Playwright's browser for the Lantmäteriet submission flow:

   pwsh src/Voluble.PermitDesk.Web/bin/Debug/net10.0/playwright.ps1 install chromium

   Downloads ~150 MB of Chromium into %LOCALAPPDATA%\ms-playwright\. Required before the "Skicka in via automation" button works. Skip if you only use the manual handoff path.

Repo conventions

• Small, focused commits — one logical change per commit
• One issue per piece of work, tracked on the project board
• Internal planning lives outside the repo (Obsidian vault, ignored via .gitignore)
