#Devicehub
|
||
|
||
Devicehub is a distributed IT Asset Management System focused in reusing devices, created under the project [eReuse.org](https://www.ereuse.org)
|
||
|
||
This README explains how to install and use Devicehub. [The documentation](http://devicehub.ereuse.org) explains the concepts and the API.
|
||
|
||
Devicehub is built with [Teal](https://github.com/ereuse/teal) and [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org).
|
||
|
||
# Installing
|
||
The requirements are:
|
||
|
||
- Python 3.7.3 or higher. In debian 10 is `# apt install python3`.
|
||
- [PostgreSQL 11 or higher](https://www.postgresql.org/download/).
|
||
- Weasyprint [dependencie](http://weasyprint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install.html)
|
||
|
||
Install Devicehub with *pip*: `pip3 install -U -r requirements.txt -e .`
|
||
|
||
# Running
|
||
Create a PostgreSQL database called *devicehub* by running [create-db](examples/create-db.sh):
|
||
|
||
- In Linux, execute the following two commands (adapt them to your distro):
|
||
|
||
1. `sudo su - postgres`.
|
||
2. `bash examples/create-db.sh devicehub dhub`, and password `ereuse`.
|
||
|
||
- In MacOS: `bash examples/create-db.sh devicehub dhub`, and password `ereuse`.
|
||
|
||
Configure project using environment file (you can use provided example as quickstart):
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ cp examples/env.example .env
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Using the `dh` tool for set up with one or multiple inventories.
|
||
Create the tables in the database by executing:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ export dhi=dbtest; dh inv add --common --name dbtest
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, run the app:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ export dhi=dbtest;dh run --debugger
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The error ‘bdist_wheel’ can happen when you work with a *virtual environment*.
|
||
To fix it, install in the *virtual environment* wheel
|
||
package. `pip3 install wheel`
|
||
|
||
## Multiple instances
|
||
|
||
Devicehub can run as a single inventory or with multiple inventories, each inventory being an instance of the `devicehub`. To add a new inventory execute:
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ export dhi=dbtest; dh inv add --name dbtest
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note: The `dh` command is like `flask`, but it allows you to create and delete instances, and interface to them directly.
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Testing
|
||
|
||
1. `git clone` this project.
|
||
2. Create a database for testing executing `create-db.sh` like the normal installation but changing the first parameter from `devicehub` to `dh_test`: `create-db.sh dh_test dhub` and password `ereuse`.
|
||
3. Execute at the root folder of the project `python3 setup.py test`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Migrations
|
||
|
||
At this stage, migration files are created manually.
|
||
Set up the database:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ sudo su - postgres
|
||
$ bash $PATH_TO_DEVIHUBTEAL/examples/create-db.sh devicehub dhub
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Initialize the database:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ export dhi=dbtest; dh inv add --common --name dbtest
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This command will create the schemas, tables in the specified database.
|
||
Then we need to stamp the initial migration.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ alembic stamp head
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
This command will set the revision **fbb7e2a0cde0_initial** as our initial migration.
|
||
For more info in migration stamping please see https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/cookbook.html
|
||
|
||
|
||
Whenever a change needed eg to create a new schema, alter an existing table, column or perform any
|
||
operation on tables, create a new revision file:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ alembic revision -m "A table change"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This command will create a new revision file with name `<revision_id>_a_table_change`.
|
||
Edit the generated file with the necessary operations to perform the migration:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ alembic edit <revision_id>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Apply migrations using:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ alembic -x inventory=dbtest upgrade head
|
||
```
|
||
Then to go back to previous db version:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ alembic -x inventory=dbtest downgrade <revision_id>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To see a full list of migrations use
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ alembic history
|
||
```
|
||

||
## Generating the docs
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. `git clone` this project.
|
||
2. Install plantuml. In Debian 9 is `# apt install plantuml`.
|
||
3. Execute `pip3 install -e .[docs]` in the project root folder.
|
||
4. Go to `<project root folder>/docs` and execute `make html`. Repeat this step to generate new docs.
|
||
|
||
To auto-generate the docs do `pip3 install -e .[docs-auto]`, then execute, in the root folder of the project `sphinx-autobuild docs docs/_build/html`.
