Intro – Do Unto what the Sister In-law commands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My sister in-law runs a dog training business in Queensland. Part of her business is to track records of her canine clients – especially notes, vaccinations when they’re due, medical records and certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a previous job she had experience with Animal Shelter Manager<\/a> (ASM3). She’s familiar with the features and interface to know it will cover her needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her business is not big enough to justify the price of the SaaS version of ASM3; so being the tech savvy (debatable) one the family – it was my task getting it up and running for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lead to several nights of struggling, annoyance and failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting the pieces together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To start off I wanted to get a demo version running so I can see what I need to do to deploy it for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I checked out the ASM3 github repository and yes! There is a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no – it is six years old and didn’t work when I tried to build it. I tried a couple of other miscellaneous sites offering hope; but to no avail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end after many google searches; I stumbled across https:\/\/lesbianunix.dev\/about <\/a>with the following guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from a domain name that was sure to set off all the “appropriate content” filters at work; with a few modifications I could get it to work<\/em><\/strong>. Looking at the instructions from the author R\u00e6n; it is substantially different to the old Dockerfile and the instructions on the ASM3 home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s build it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With my base working version – I cobbled up some Dockerfiles for ASM3 and postres and a docker compose file to tie them together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/github.com\/jon-donker\/asm3_docker<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Note that this is not a production version and have to obscure passwords etc in the final version)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The containers build just fine and fire up with no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vising the website<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/localhost\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASM3 redirects and builds the database – but then goes to a login page. I enter the username and password; but it loops back to the login page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the problem lies with the base_url and service_url in asm3.conf<\/a>; possibly with http-asm3.conf settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway – I logged a issue with ASM3 see if it is something simple that I missed; or maybe I have to start pulling apart of source code to find what it is trying to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll update this post when I find something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
