_Keep track of your inventory of 3D-printer filament spools._
Spoolman is a web service that helps you keep track of your filament spools and how they are being used.
It acts as a database, where other printer software such as Octoprint and Moonraker can interact with to have a centralized place for spool information.
For example, if used together with Moonraker, your spool weight will automatically be reduced as your print is progressing.
It exposes a HTTP API which services can interact with. See the [OpenAPI description](https://donkie.github.io/Spoolman/) for more information.
## Client
Spoolman includes a web-client that lets you directly manipulate all the data. It also has a few additional nice features such as label printing.
## Integration status
Spoolman is still relatively new, so support isn't widespread yet, but it's being actively integrated to multiple different projects.
* ✔️ Moonraker - See the [Moonraker Documentation](https://moonraker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/#spoolman)
* ✔️ Fluidd
* ✖️ Mainsail
* ✖️ Octoprint - A plugin is in progress: [OctoPrint-Spoolman](https://github.com/mkevenaar/OctoPrint-Spoolman)
## Installation
Spoolman can interact with any of the following databases: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, CockroachDB.
By default, SQLite is used which is a simple no-install database solution that saves to a single .db file located in the server's user directory.
### Using Docker
The easiest way to run Spoolman is using Docker. Docker is a platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers. Containers are lightweight, portable, and self-contained environments that can run on any machine with Docker installed.
To install Docker on your machine, follow the instructions for your operating system on the [Docker website](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). Docker also includes the docker-compose tool which lets you configure the container deployment in a simple yaml file, without having to remember all the command line options.
Here is a sample docker-compose config to get you started. Copy-paste it into a file called `docker-compose.yml` and run `docker-compose up -d` to start it. If you want to use the SQLite database as in this sample, you must first create a folder called `data` in the same directory as the `docker-compose.yml`, then you should run `chown 1000:1000 data` on it in order to give it the correct permissions for the user inside the docker container.
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
spoolman:
image: ghcr.io/donkie/spoolman:latest
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ./data:/home/app/.local/share/spoolman
ports:
- "7912:8000"
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Stockholm # Optional, defaults to UTC
```
Once you have it up and running, you can access the web UI by browsing to `http://your.ip:7912`.
If a new version of Spoolman has been released, you can update to it by first browsing to the directory where you have the `docker-compose.yml` file and then running `docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d`.
If you want to connect with an external database instead, specify the `SPOOLMAN_DB_*` environment variables from the table below.
| Variable | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_TYPE | Type of database, any of: `postgres`, `mysql`, `sqlite`, `cockroachdb` |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_HOST | Database hostname |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_PORT | Database port |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_NAME | Database name |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_USERNAME | Database username |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_PASSWORD_FILE | Path of file which contains the database password. Can be used instead of SPOOLMAN_DB_PASSWORD if desired. |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_PASSWORD | Database password |
| SPOOLMAN_DB_QUERY | Query parameters for the database connection, e.g. set to `unix_socket=/path/to/mysql.sock` to connect using a MySQL socket. |
| SPOOLMAN_LOGGING_LEVEL | Logging level, any of: `CRITICAL`, `ERROR`, `WARNING`, `INFO`, `DEBUG`, defaults to `INFO`. |
| SPOOLMAN_AUTOMATIC_BACKUP | Automatic nightly DB backups for SQLite databases. Enabled by default, set to `FALSE` to disable. |
## Development
### Client
To test out changes to the web client, the best way is to run it in development mode.
Prerequisities:
* NodeJS 16 or above installed, along with NPM. Running `node --version` should print a correct version.
* A running Spoolman server, with the following two environment variables added in the `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
environment:
- FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS=*
- SPOOLMAN_DEBUG_MODE=TRUE
```
Instructions:
1. Open a terminal and CD to the `client` subdirectory
2. Run `npm install`. If it doesn't succeed, you probably have an incorrect node version. Spoolman is only tested on NodeJS 16.
3. Run `echo "VITE_APIURL=http://192.168.0.123:7901/api/v1" > .env`, where the ip:port is the address of the running Spoolman server. This should create a `.env` file in the `client` directory. If you don't already have one running on your network, you can start one up using the `docker-compose.yml` showed above.
4. Run `npm run dev`. The terminal will print a "Local: xxxx" URL, open that in your browser and the web client should show up. Your existing spools etc in your Spoolman database should be loaded in.
5. Any edits in .ts/.tsx files will be automatically reloaded in your browser. If you make any change to .json files you will need to F5 in your browser.
