Features
========
Here is the list of features currently supported:
* login via farmOS / OAuth2 workflows
* Authorization Code workflow is supported
* (technically, Password Grant workflow is also supported, for now)
* view some farmOS data directly
* limited data is fetched via farmOS API for several views
* performance isn't bad, but data is not very "complete"
* more data could be fetched, but not sure this is the best way..?
* import some data from farmOS
* limited data is imported from farmOS API into native app tables
* this data is exposed in views, similar to direct farmOS views (above)
* export some data back to farmOS
* limited data is exported back via farmOS API, from native tables
* supported tables are auto-synced when a record is created/updated
* AnimalType
* AnimalAsset
* GroupAsset
* LandAsset
* StructureAsset
How I Use This App
------------------
My production farmOS instance is deployed via Podman container, which
I prefer over Docker. (Not that I know much about any of that
really.) It has a PostgreSQL database which runs in a separate
container.
My production WuttaFarm instance is installed directly on the same
host machine, in a Python virtual environment. PostgreSQL is also
installed on the host machine; the app uses that for DB.
I ran the initial "special" import to establish the user accounts;
then I ran the "full" import (farmOS → WuttaFarm). See also
:doc:`/narr/install`.
I configured a cron job to run the full import every night, but in
dry-run mode with warnings. This means I will get an email if
WuttaFarm is ever out of sync with farmOS.
With all that in place, I can use WuttaFarm as my "daily driver" to
add/edit assets (and soon, logs). Changes I make are immediately
synced to farmOS, so as long as the overnight check does not send me
an email, I know everything is good.
Roadmap
-------
Here are some things I still have planned so far:
* finish support for auto-sync, in current asset models
* must make "asset parents" editable
* add more asset models?
* i may only add those i need for now, but others can add more
* flesh out the log model support
* add more tables, fields to schema
* add/improve import and export
* basically this should be as good as the asset model support
* although again i may only add those i need for now
* add custom "quick forms" for assets and logs
* again i probably will just add a few (e.g. egg collection)
* but this could be an interesting path to go down, we'll see
* add custom "CSV/file importers"
* the framework has some pretty neat tools around this, so..
* ..even if i don't need CSV import i'd like to show what's possible
Notably **off the table** for now are:
* anything involving maps
* file/image attachments
I will just import "thumbnail" and "large" image URLs from farmOS for
each asset for now. Will have to think more on the image/attachment
stuff before I'll know if/how to add support in WuttaFarm.
Maps will wait mostly because I have never done anything involving
those (or GIS etc. - if that's even the right term). And anyway the
main "use" for this app is probably around data entry, so it may never
"need" maps support.
