PartKeepr (Personal Inventory System) NO FUSS Installation!

(1/3) > >>

Max_EEV:
Morning everybody!

If you're searching for a generic inventory system for your workshop, you're in the right place!
After several days looking for such thing for my growing workshop and after trying complicated ERP systems like Odoo and NextERP and tired of easy to crap spreadsheets I finally found PartKeepr (Online Demo here: https://demo.partkeepr.org/).
Web: https://partkeepr.org/# Github: https://github.com/partkeepr/PartKeepr

The problem is linux and for me, being a not so proud windows guy, was tortuous and finally impossible to get this running on a Raspberry Pi 3, even following dedicated instructions. A very good friend of mine, linux master, had to help me.
Because I don't want you to suffer the same than me and because, like me, you only want to spend your time introducing your fancy pieces, I have created a image of my fresh installation for just burn a MicroSD and get ready!

Instructions:

* Download my custom zipped image (4GB) from https://mega.nz/#!WCQV1aSD!4FnrOf93mTsRwC-F2OwZOImUDSObXF0wgvxVbodAm98.
* Download and learn to use Win32 Disk Imager from here: https://raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi-operating-systems/win32diskimager
* Burn the image into a 32GB or greater MicroSD card.
* Introduce the card in a LAN connected Raspberry Pi (Pi 3 recommended) and switch on.
* With whatever PC connected in the same network write in a browser the Raspberry IP and press enter (you can see the IP in the router page).
* Use the default "Administrator/admin" credentials to enter in your PartKeepr system.
* You're done! Now you can start to work!
Features/limits of my image:

* It's 32GB. Yes, I know, I should have used a smaller MicroSD.
* It's Raspbian Stretch OS with GUI and recommended apps, all installed with NOOBS. Yes, I know, I should have been used a simpler initial image.
* It's PartKeepr 1.4.0 version.
* It's clean. Before I started to introduce my personal data, made the image.
* The speed improvements are done: https://wiki.partkeepr.org/wiki/APC_Metadata_Caching.
* You may or not experiment login issues (invalid username or password promt). That's because the server is configured as WSSE authentication method. You can easily change it connecting the Pi to a monitor and following this instruction to change to HTTPBasic authentication method: https://wiki.partkeepr.org/wiki/Authentication.
For the developer: Felicia, I really thank you your extraordinary job, your free community support and love how you have made the difficult easy and nice.
I would really like to contact you with some simple ideas and I'm looking forward to see the 1.5 version improvements!!!

Well, I hope you all enjoy this!

Is that the raw image which is a 32GB download?

If you use zip or gzip on it then you will massively shrink it - as it is sure to be mostly empty space.

Wouldn’t be easier with access database.

Hooray, first Hass.io and now this. What should be a simple piece of software is distributed "for Linux" by distributed as an entire 32GB operating system image, because I should buy a new raspberry pi for every single piece of software I might want to run. Clap clap.

I don't know, I tried ABC from Almyta and didn't liked. Too 80's. PartKeepr uses MySQL database, so it's kind of universal too.

It's also a entire OS. You can install whatever additional software you want.
