Web based management to catalog things including state and location etc. using Python/Django.
Project description
Web based management to catalog things including state and location etc. using Python/Django.
The project is in an early stage of development. Some things are already implemented and usable. But there is still a lot to do.
Pull requests welcome!
about
The focus of this project is on the management of retro computing hardware.
Plan:
Web-based
Multiuser ready
Chaotic warehousing
Grouped “Storage”: Graphics card is in computer XY
Data structure kept as general as possible
You should be able to add the following to the items:
Storage location
State
Pictures and Files
URLs
receiving and delivering (when, from whom, at what price, etc.)
Information: Publicly visible yes/no
A public list of existing items (think about it, you can set in your profile if you want to)
administration a wish & exchange list
any many more… ;)
Project structure
There are two main directories:
directory |
description |
|---|---|
`/src/`_ |
The main PyInventory source code |
`/deployment/`_ |
deploy PyInventory for production use case |
install
There exists these kind of installation/usage:
local development installation using poetry
production use with docker-compose on a root server
Install as YunoHost App via pyinventory_ynh
This README contains only the information about local development installation.
Read /deployment/README for instruction to install PyInventory on a root server.
local development installation
e.g.:
# Clone project (Use your fork SSH url!): ~$ git clone https://github.com/jedie/PyInventory.git ~$ cd PyInventory ~/PyInventory$ ./devshell.py
Helpful for writing and debugging unittests is to run a local test server. e.g.:
~/PyInventory$ ./devshell.py run_testserver
The web page is available via: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
You can also pass a other port number or ipaddr:port combination. See: ./devshell.py run_testserver --help
Call manage commands from test project, e.g.:
~/PyInventory$ ./devshell.py manage --help
local docker dev run
You can run the deployment docker containers with current source code with:
~/PyInventory$ make run-docker-dev-server
Just hit Cntl-C to stop the containers
The web page is available via: https://localhost/
Screenshots
Multi user support
PyInventory supports multiple users. The idea:
Every normal user sees only his own created database entries
All users used the Django admin
Note: All created Tags are shared for all existing users!
So setup a normal user:
Set “Staff status”
Unset “Superuser status”
Add user to “normal_user” group
Don’t add any additional permissions
e.g.:
Backwards-incompatible changes
v0.7.0
Docker-Compose usage: The MEDIA files was not stored on a docker volumes.
You should backup rhe media files before update the containers!
e.g.:
~/PyInventory/deployment$ make shell_inventory root@inventory:/django# cp -Rfv /media/ /django_volumes/media/
The files are stored locally here:
~/PyInventory/deployment$ ls -la volumes/django/media/
Now, update the containers and copy the files back.
v0.5.0
