# Devicehub
|
|
|
|
Devicehub is a distributed IT Asset Management System focused on reusing digital devices, created under the [eReuse.org](https://www.ereuse.org) initiative.
|
|
|
|
This README explains how to install and use Devicehub. [The documentation](http://devicehub.ereuse.org) explains the concepts, usage and the API.
|
|
|
|
Devicehub is built with [Teal](https://github.com/ereuse/teal) and [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org).
|
|
|
|
Devicehub relies on the existence of an [API_DLT connector](https://gitlab.com/dsg-upc/ereuse-dpp) verifiable data registry service, where certain operations are recorded to keep an external track record (ledger).
|
|
|
|
# Installing
|
|
Please visit the [Manual Installation](README_MANUAL_INSTALLATION.md) instructions to understand the detailed steps to install it locally or deploy it on a server.
|
|
|
|
# Docker
|
|
There is a Docker compose file for an automated deployment. The next steps describe how to run and use it.
|
|
|
|
1. Download the sources:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/eReuse/devicehub-teal.git -b dpp
|
|
cd devicehub-teal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. If you want to initialize your DeviceHub instance with a sample device snapshot you can copy it into that directory.
|
|
```
|
|
cp snapshot01.json examples/snapshots/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, the device inventory of your DeviceHub instance will be empty and ready to add new devices. For that you need to change the var to 'n' in the **.env** file
|
|
```
|
|
IMPORT_SNAPSHOTS='n'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To register new devices, the [workbench software](https://github.com/eReuse/workbench) can be run on a device to generate a hardware snapshot that can be uploaded to your DeviceHub instance.
|
|
|
|
3. Modify the environment variables in the file .env You can find one example in examples/env.example.
|
|
If you don't have any, you can copy that example and modify the basic vars
|
|
```
|
|
cp examples/env.example .env
|
|
```
|
|
You can use these parameters as default for a local test, but default values may not be suitable for an internet-exposed service for security reasons. However, these three variables need to be initialized:
|
|
```
|
|
API_DLT
|
|
API_DLT_TOKEN
|
|
API_RESOLVER
|
|
```
|
|
These values should come from an already operational [API_DLT connector](https://gitlab.com/dsg-upc/ereuse-dpp) service instance.
|
|
|
|
4. Run the docker containers:
|
|
```
|
|
docker compose up
|
|
```
|
|
To stop these docker containers you can use Ctl+C, and if you run again "compose up" you'll maintain the data and infrastructure state.
|
|
|
|
On the terminal screen, you can follow the installation steps. If there are any problems, error messages will appear here. The appearance of several warnings is normal and can be ignored.
|
|
|
|
If the last line you see one text like this, *exited whit code*:
|
|
```
|
|
devicehub-teal-devicehub-id-client-1 exited with code 1
|
|
```
|
|
means the installation failed.
|
|
|
|
If the deployment was end-to-end successful (two running Devicehub instances successfully connected to the DLT backend selected in the .env file), you can see this text in the last lines:
|
|
```
|
|
devicehub-teal-devicehub-id-client-1 | * Running on http://172.28.0.2:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
|
|
devicehub-teal-devicehub-id-server-1 | * Running on all addresses.
|
|
devicehub-teal-devicehub-id-server-1 | WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.
|
|
devicehub-teal-devicehub-id-server-1 | * Running on http://172.28.0.5:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That means the two Devicehub instances are running in their containers, that can be reached as http://localhost:5000/ and http://localhost:5001/
|
|
|
|
5. To shut down the services and remove the corresponding data, you can use:
|
|
```
|
|
docker compose down -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to enter a shell inside a **new instance of the container**:
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -it --entrypoint= ${target_docker_image} bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to enter a shell on an **already running container**:
|
|
```
|
|
docker exec -it ${target_docker_image} bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To know the valid value for ${target_docker_image} you can use:
|
|
```
|
|
docker ps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. These are the details for use in this implementation:
|
|
|
|
Devicehub with url (http://localhost:5000) is the identity provider of OIDC and have user defined in **.env** file with SERVER_ID_EMAIL_DEMO var.
|
|
|
|
Devicehub with url (http://localhost:5001) is the client identity of OIDC and have user defined in **.env** file with SERVER_ID_EMAIL_DEMO var.
|
|
|
|
You can change these values in the *.env* file
|
|
|
|
7. If you want to use Workbench for these DeviceHub instances you need to go to
|
|
```
|
|
http://localhost:5001/workbench/
|
|
```
|
|
with the demo user and then download the settings and ISO files. Follow the instructions that appear on the [help](https://help.usody.com/en/setup/setup-pendrive/) page.
