About The Project

Hammond is a self hosted vehicle management system to track fuel and other expenses related to all of your vehicles. It supports multiple users sharing multiple vehicles. It is the logical successor to Clarkson which has not been updated for quite some time now. This repo is again a fork of akhilrex's great project.

Motivation and Developer Notes

As mentioned, this project is a fork of akhilrex's project which is no longer active. To prevent the same from happeing to this project, we are seeking to add more maintainers/collaborators who have access to merge PRs.

We are trying our best to update with new features and feedback is very welcome.

The project is written using Go for the backend and Vuejs for the front end.

Installation

The easiest way to run Hammond is to run it as a docker container.

Using Docker

Simple setup without mounted volumes (for testing and evaluation)

  docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name=hammond alfhou/hammond

Binding local volumes to the container

   docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name=hammond -v "/host/path/to/assets:/assets" -v "/host/path/to/config:/config"  alfhou/hammond

Using Docker-Compose

Modify the docker compose file provided here to update the volume and port binding and run the following command

version: '2.1'
services:
  hammond:
    image: alfhou/hammond
    container_name: hammond
    volumes:
      - /path/to/config:/config
      - /path/to/data:/assets
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    restart: unless-stopped

   docker-compose up -d

Install on Kubernetes

You can install Hammond on Kubernetes by using Helm. The Helm chart for Hammond is maintained by djjudas21.

helm repo update djjudas21
helm install djjudas21/hammond

Build from Source / Ubuntu Installation

Although personally I feel that using the docker container is the best way of using and enjoying something like hammond, a lot of people in the community are still not comfortable with using Docker and wanted to host it natively on their Linux servers. Follow the link below to get a guide on how to build hammond from source.

Build from source / Ubuntu Guide

Environment Variables

Name	Description	Default
JWT_SECRET	The secret used to sign the JWT token. There is a default value but it is important that you change it to something else	A super strong secret that needs to be changed
PORT	Change the internal port of the application. If you change this you might have to change your docker configuration as well	(empty)

Setup

When you open Hammond for the first time after a fresh install, you will be presented with the option to either import data from an existing Clarkson instance or setup a fresh instance.

Migration from Clarkson

You will have to ensure that the Clarkson database is accessible from the Hammond deployment. In case it is not directly possible, you can always take a backup of the Clarkson database and host it somewhere accessible to Hammond using a temporary container. If the access problem is sorted, you will have to enter the connection string the Clarkson database in the following format.

        user:pass@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/dbname?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local

You can check the connectivity from the screen as well.

Note: All the users migrated from Clarkson will have their passwords changed to hammond

Fresh setup

You will have to provide your name, email and password so that an admin user can be created for you.

Once done you will be taken to the login page.

Go through the settings page once and change relevant settings before you start adding vehicles and expenses.

Contributing

Dev Setup

If you want to contribute to the project you need to set it up for development first.

Fork and clone the project. Once you have it on your own machine, open up a terminal and navigate to the server/ directory.

In the server/ directory run the command go run main.go. After some initial setup, the server should be listening on at port 3000.

Next, open a new terminal. Navigate to the ui/ directory and run npm install. This will install all the dependencies for the frontend. After the command is done running, run npm run dev. After some output, the frontend should be accessible at http://localhost:8080.

If you are sent straight to the login screen, try closing the page and opening it again. You should be greeted with a setup wizard the first time you run the project.

Now, simply follow the instructions in order to set up your fresh install.
