Feecc Print Server is a microservice, designed to handle printing labels using a Brother QL-series label printer.
It provides a simple REST API interface to print and annotate images. It also handles user authentication.
Feecc Print Server comes as a part of the Feecc QA system - a Web3 enabled quality control system.
Print Server is a microservice that is written in asynchronous Python using FastAPI framework and relies on Pillow to annotate images.
The app is supposed to be run in a Docker container and can be configured by setting several environment variables.
Note, that we assume a Linux host in this guide, however you can also run Print Server on any other OS, but be warned: timezone is defined by mounting host
/etc/timezoneand/etc/localtimefiles inside the container, which are not present on Windows machines, so you might end up with UTC time inside your container.
Start by cloning the git repository onto your machine:
git clone https://github.com/Multi-Agent-io/feecc-print-server.git
Enter the app directory and modify the docker-compose.yml file to your needs by changing the environment variables
(discussed in the configuration part).
cd feecc-print-server
vim docker-compose.yml
When you are done configuring your installation, build and start the container using docker-compose:
sudo docker-compose up --build
Verify your deployment by going to http://127.0.0.1:8083/docs in your browser. You should see the SwaggerUI API specification page. Continue from there.
To configure your Print Server deployment edit the environment variables, provided in docker-compose.yml file.
