PyInventory for YunoHost

This package allows you to install PyInventory quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult the guide to learn how to install it.

Pull requests welcome ;)

Overview

PyInventory is a libre web-based management to catalog things including state and location etc. using Python/Django.

Screenshots

Settings and upgrades

Almost everything related to PyInventory's configuration is handled in a "../conf/settings.py" file. You can edit the file /opt/yunohost/pyinventory/local_settings.py to enable or disable features.

Test sending emails:

ssh admin@yourdomain.tld
root@yunohost:~# cd /opt/yunohost/pyinventory/
root@yunohost:/opt/yunohost/pyinventory# source venv/bin/activate
(venv) root@yunohost:/opt/yunohost/pyinventory# ./manage.py sendtestemail --admins

Background info: Error mails are send to all settings.ADMINS. By default the YunoHost admin is inserted here. To check current ADMINS run:

(venv) root@yunohost:/opt/yunohost/pyinventory# ./manage.py sendtestemail --admins

If you prefere to send error emails to a extrnal email address, just do something like this:

echo "ADMINS = (('Your Name', 'example@domain.tld'),)" >> /opt/yunohost/pyinventory/local_settings.py

To check the effective settings, run this:

(venv) root@yunohost:/opt/yunohost/pyinventory# ./manage.py diffsettings
