Home inventory management system for your pantry & anything with a barcode
I often forget what I have in my home pantry and end up buying more diced tomatoes when I already have 17 cans at home.
This is a simple system that allows me to check what I have in stock from anywhere
- git
- Docker
- docker-compose
git clone git@github.com:ncentola/stockboy.git
cd stockboy
docker-compose up --build
The idea is to have this running on a raspberry pi or similar cheap compute device. Barcode scanning will be done on the edge (rpi) and produce messages for the backend to consume. Eventually the backend consumers & services will most likely be deployed as Fargate services via AWS ECS
Runs on RPi with a USB barcode scanner. The service translates data from the USB barcode scanner into UPC codes and passes to the message queue. RPi will have an in/out toggle for adding and removing from stock
Basic RabbitMQ where a single "scan" goes into a fanout exchange which can then be consumed by the UPC Lookup & Transaction services
Checks if we have the UPC in our system, if not reaches out to a UPC API, retrieves product info, and puts it into the database
Consumes messages produced by the scanner and passes them to the API
Simple routes to interact with the DB
Currently a simple Plotly Dash data table which some search & sort functionality
Simple Postgres db, schemas managed by Flyway
- API Auth
- Multi-tenancy?
