Inventarium

This project is a django server inventarization system. It requires docker and docker compose as well as the python modules stated in the requirements.txt. It can be used to inventarize and document basically everything.

Setup

Installation

1. Install docker and docker-compose from here and here
2. Clone this repository
3. Go into the root directory of the repository (where docker-compose.yml) lives and open a terminal
4. Execute the command docker-compose up. Container images for a postgresSQL database and the django server will be pulled and configured automatically. This step requires some disk space and an active internet connection
5. You now need to create a database user

Creating a database user

In order to access the system you will need to create a database user so django can interface with the database and you can log in to interact with the server e.g. create additional users or inventarize objects.

1. Run docker ps while the containers are running do determine the container ID of the web server. Something like this will show up:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED               STATUS               PORTS                    NAMES
f1b377c3700f        invsystem_web       "python3 manage.py r…"   1 minute ago          Up 1 minute          0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp   invsystem_web_1
1289f9bcdd04        postgres            "docker-entrypoint.s…"   1 minute ago          Up 1 minute          0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp   invsystem_db_1

You need to copy the CONTAINER ID for the image invsystem_web

2. Execute the command docker exec -i -t <CONTAINER ID> /bin/bash

3. You are now attatched to the docker container via a shell.
   Enter python3 manage.py makemigrations and python3 manage.py migrate.
   This sets up the database and initializes it.

4. Create the superuser using python3 manage.py createsuperuser and enter the requested information

5. Open your browser and visit localhost:8000 or click here

6. Click the "Einloggen" button in the top right corner and log in with the account you just created using createsuperuser

7. You can now access the server and use all of its features

If you need the django admin panel you can just access localhost:8000/admin and log in with the same superuser account there as well
