Devicehub

Devicehub is an IT Asset Management System focused in reusing devices, created under the project eReuse.org.

Our main objectives are:

• To offer a common IT Asset Management for donors, receivers and IT professionals so they can manage devices and exchange them. This is, reusing –and ultimately recycling.
• To automatically recollect, analyse, process and share (controlling privacy) metadata about devices with other tools of the eReuse ecosystem to guarantee traceability, and to provide inputs for the indicators which measure circularity.
• To highly integrate with existing IT Asset Management Systems.
• To be decentralized.

Devicehub is built with Teal and Flask.

Installation

The requirements are:

• Python 3.5 or higher.
• PostgreSQL 9.6 or higher.

Install Devicehub with pip: pip3 install ereuse-devicehub -U --pre.

Running

To use it create a python file with the following and call it app.py:

from ereuse_devicehub.devicehub import Devicehub
from ereuse_devicehub.config import DevicehubConfig
class MyConfig(DevicehubConfig):
    ORGANIZATION_NAME = 'My org'
    ORGANIZATION_TAX_ID = 'foo-bar'


app = Devicehub(MyConfig())

Create a PostgreSQL database:

$ sudo -u postgres -i
postgres$ createdb dh-db1

And then execute, in the same directory where app.py is:

$ flask run

See the Flask quickstart for more info.
