Hardcoded paths that only work on Linux!

[Leproide]

I believe a large part of the code needs to be rewritten from scratch.
Everything was built to work only on Windows, and some parts are broken regardless of the platform (e.g., user creation, which I already fixed).

Example? If you enable MFA enforcement, everything breaks unless you're on Linux.
Why? Hardcoded paths that only work on Linux!

Fix?

require_once __DIR__ . '/config.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/functions.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/includes/check_login.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/plugins/totp/totp.php'; // TOTP MFA Lib

in mfa_enforcement.php

The project is really great, but it doesn't make sense to limit it to a single platform.

Hello, we have no plans for Windows support at the moment.

I expected that, but with future expansion in mind, I believe it wouldn't be a bad idea to start using code that works across all operating systems, like universal syntax.
I understand that Windows is a mess, but it exists, and ignoring it isn't the most forward-thinking move if you want your work to reach a wider audience, especially if the project has solid foundations and is actually useful.

If you're writing open source code then you wanna maintain it for an open source and lightweight OS and not for proprietary garbage

If you wanna setup a dev environment locally on your windows machine then check out WSL

@git-kup This is exactly the kind of mindset that creates a sharp divide and conflict between people and the open-source world.
Thinking in an elitist way while forgetting the rest of the world, which, like it or not, has a market share far beyond Linux.
Not on servers, obviously, but you'd be surprised how many companies and individuals run their own servers on Windows.

Now, I totally agree with you that anything Microsoft-related is garbage, but that’s not the right approach if you want to grow and reach more people.

That said, I understand. I won’t insist, I’ll just apply my fixes to a fork, and those who want an alternative will have one.

Have a nice day
