Grocy - ERP Beyond your fridge

[RoboMod]

I just installed it in a LAMP App. Works great.

The next major release brings LDAP support. I'll try to upgrade soon after next release of the Android app.

[lucidfox]

@robomod that would be brilliant. so the android app wouldn't work if you install it in a LAMP app?

[RoboMod]

@lucidfox It works. But the next major release of Grocy breaks the API so the Android client has to catch up these changes.

[lucidfox]

@robomod thanks for the tip, i might just wait for the next release before i try to use it then.

[RoboMod]

Here is some update: the mobile app now supports the newest Grocy server version. I tried to get it using the Cloudron Ldap. This doesn't work out of the box but there is a patch waiting to be merged. I applied and tweaked it and can authentication as Cloudron user now.

(I'm thinking about packaging Grocy for Cloudron but might need some help on that ...)

[girish]

@robomod Do you have a link to the PR?

[jdaviescoates]

@girish I'd guess this is it:
https://github.com/grocy/grocy/pull/1380

[RoboMod]

@girish @jdaviescoates Yes, it is. But its still not fully compatible to Cloudron. I'll create a patch from my changes, soon.

What an awesome app!

[bubonicfred]

I sorta skimmed past this before, but I think I have a usecase for this.

@robomod I just tried installing it in a LAMP stack but can't get LDAP to work. Anyone here successful so far?

How do you get this to work in a LAMP app?

what I did was...

• extracted the zip file inside the public folder of a new LAMP app
• changed the permissions of everything to www-data (Cloudron)

I got a no permission to access this page (or something of that sort). Then, I..

• moved all content to the "home" directory of the LAMP app
• moved the contents of the "public" folder that was in the zip file to the "public" folder of the LAMP app.

Unable to run grocy: /vendor/autoload.php not found. Have you run Composer?

P.S. I'm trying to use a subdomain (xx.mydomain.com) and not the root domain if that makes any difference.

[RoboMod]

@humptydumpty Sound like a path issue. All the folders and files for Grocy are in the "home" folder of the LAMP app. Hence, the "vendor" folder is also in the "home" folder so that the "app.php" can successfully load the path "/vendor/autoload.php". Does that help?

[RoboMod]

@andreasdueren Did you fix that in the meantime? (Sorry for not reacting )

[humptydumpty]

@RoboMod that half-fixed things.(100% fixed, see below for details)

What I did was move all folders/files to the home folder and moved the content of the "public" folder (the one that's in the Grocy zip) to the LAMP's public folder. I'm going to check the config.php in the /data folder for path issues. Did you disable (NGINX) url rewriting?

Edit: Actually, your solution @RoboMod fixed the issue. I forgot I had edited the config.php base url and once reverted back to its defaults. the login page loaded and it's all working as expected. Thank you!

// When running grocy in a subdirectory, this should be set to the relative path, otherwise empty
// It needs to be set to the part (of the URL) AFTER the document root,
// if URL rewriting is disabled, including index.php
// Example with URL Rewriting support:
//  Root URL = https://example.com/grocy
//  => BASE_PATH = /grocy
// Example without URL Rewriting support:
//  Root URL = https://example.com/grocy/public/index.php/
//  => BASE_PATH = /grocy/public/index.php
Setting('BASE_PATH', '');

// The base URL of your installation,
// should be just "/" when running directly under the root of a (sub)domain
// or for example "https://example.com/grocy" when using a subdirectory
Setting('BASE_URL', '/');

Things to note for future reference:

• all files/folders go into the LAMP's home directory.
• copy over and rename config-dist.php into /data/config.php and tweak the settings like "week starts on Monday" but no need to edit the base path/url if using the domain's root or a subdomain.
• disable phpmyadmin per the doc instructions here

I can see a benefit for using it in small-scale industrial kitchens or perhaps in community kitchens but other than that, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

From the website:

Waste less!

Except time that is

Mmm, as far as I can see Cloudron can absolutely address TWO clients categories, which are BUSINESSES and FAMILIES, think about it so that app would just be fantastic to add for that utility, and that said even for business for lists of supply needs etc. ...
Andy

Yes, families! This is one of the main reasons I hope that Odoo might be supported on Cloudron: to help families co-ordinate.

I love that Grocy can suggest recipes according to one's inventory. Maybe it will prioritize according to use-by date.

[saikarthik]

Whats the status on this app? Would like to install it on my Cloudron as well.

[humptydumpty]

Install it in a lamp app. Steps are in post above.

[saikarthik]

Any reason why an app was not made for it? Is it because of the missing LDAP connector?

[humptydumpty]

@saikarthik not sure, that’s above my pay grade.
