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 is designed to be easily integrated into printer software such as Octoprint and Moonraker where these services can e.g. list available spools, report filament consumption, etc.
It exposes a REST API which backends can interact with. See the OpenAPI description for more information.
It also ships with a simple web-based UI that lets you manipulate the stored data, add filaments, etc.
Installation
Using Docker
The data can be stored in 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.
The easiest way to run Spoolman is using Docker. Here is a sample docker-compose.yml to get you started:
version: '3.8'
services:
spoolman:
image: ghcr.io/donkie/spoolman:latest
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ./data:/home/app/.local/share/spoolman
ports:
- "7912:8000"
Once you have it up and running, you can access the web UI by browsing to http://your.ip:7912.
If you want to connect with an external database instead, specify the 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. This is more secure than using SPOOLMAN_DB_PASSWORD. |
| 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. |
