Servo is a service management system for Authorised Apple Service Providers. It allows you to run your entire service business from within the same interface. Originally created in 2012 it is being used by service providers both large and small all around Europe.
Main features include:
The application is written in Python on top of the excellent Django web framework and depends on the latest stable versions of the following components for operation:
Install and start PostgreSQL, nginx, memcached, rabbitMQ (only necessary if you want to use automated rules). Then install the necessary Python packages:
$ pip install -U -r requirements.pip
Then clone the code:
$ git clone https://github.com/fpsw/Servo.git my_servo_folder
$ cd my_servo_folder
$ pip install -U -r requirements.pip
Next, run the installation script:
$ ./install.py
For testing, you can run Servo without any extra setup:
$ cd my_servo_folder
$ python ./manage.py runserver
If you want to run rules, set ENABLE_RULES = True and start the worker task:
$ celery -A servo worker -B -l info -s /tmp/celerybeat-schedule
Then fire up your browser and got to http://localhost:8000/
You can also download a preconfigured VMWare image here. Please read the included README files for instructions.
First, back up your database:
$ ./manage.py backupdb
then:
$ ./manage.py selfupdate
After which you should restart your Servo instance. The method depends on how it's deployed.
