FeederNet

About

Reverse-engineering the PetNet feeders. This project only works with V2 Feeders so far.

Setup / Installation

Head over to the Getting Started Wiki for more information on spinning up your first FeederNet instance.

Developing

You need to make sure the Python modules are available.

pip install poetry
poetry install

To run the daemon locally:

poetry run python -m feeder

If you are planning on soley developing for the backend, you can build a static version of the frontend and access the backend directly:

cd static
PUBLIC_URL=/{{build_path}} npm run build

Otherwise, in a different shell, run the Webpack development server:

npm start

Database and Schema Migrations

This project uses SQLAlchemy and Alembic for managing database models and schema migrations.

If you change a database model and need to generate a migration, Alembic can do that for you automatically!

DATABASE_PATH=./data.db alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Changing something about the models."

This will create a migration script in feeder/database/alembic/versions.

To apply these changes to your database, run:

DATABASE_PATH=./data.db alembic upgrade head
