About This Fork¶ ↑

This repo has been forked from github.com/mechcow/Asset-Tracker.git in order to upgrade to Rails 2.3.14 (while refactoring some code).

Stay tuned for new features.

About (Original)¶ ↑

This is a ruby on rails asset tracker which is a fork of Preston Lee’s asset tracker:

github.com/preston/asset_tracker

Features added:

• JQuery AJAX style searching

• Puppet synchronization

• Cobbler synchronization

• CSV Output

• Asset Polymorphism including Virtualized and Physical hosts

• IP Address checking to ensure you don’t double-allocate IPs

• LDAP and AuthLogin support

Dependencies¶ ↑

gems: fastercsv

Getting Started¶ ↑

1. Create a config/initializers/email.rb with the following…

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {

:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:user_name => "noreply@gmail_or_your_google_domain.com",
:password => "chucknorris"

}

1. Install and configure PostgreSQL and setup a blank database (exact steps will depend upon your OS and environment)

2. Edit config/database.yml and give it the appropriate values to connect to said database

3. rake db:create

4. rake db:fixtures:load

5. rake db:migrate

6. Edit config/ldap.yml and fill in the details about your LDAP server

7. run script/server

You probably now want to first add a Location before you add anything else.
