A baby's eat-sleep-diaper diary.

Track your baby's sleeping, eating and relieving habits.

This started out as just a script to plot a histogram from spreadsheet data, but since logging data via Excel/Libreoffice/whatever is tedious, uncomfortable and error prone, I created this web app.

Consider this beta quality at best - stuff may work or not and may break unexpectedly.

Features:

• Log sleep phases, meals and changed diapers
• Log height/weight measurements
• Log special events (like first steps, words, etc.)
• Log diary entries
• Allow other users to add+view child data
• Display the data in a summary list or in graphical form

Sleep, meals and diapers work best currently, since we're using it on a daily basis. More stuff will be added when I find some spare time.

Setup

To get this up and running, clone the repo and perform the following steps:

• Set up a virtual environment and activate it:

    python3 -m venv venv
    . venv/bin/activate
  

• Install required packages:

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  

• Create a private key:

    dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 bs=56 | base64 > secret_key.txt
  

• Run the db-migrations and start the development server:

    ./manage.py migrate
    ./manage.py runserver
  

• Surf to 127.0.0.1:8000

Disable DEBUG in settings.py if you want to run it in production!

Add the frontend

If you want to use the vue.js based frontend, also do the following:

• Fetch the frontend submodule:

    git submodule init
    git submodule update
  

• Install required packages:

    cd frontend
    npm i
  

• Start the node development server:

    npm run serve
  

• Surf to 127.0.0.1:8000, register an account + set the checkmark for "use new UI" in the user settings.

If you want to run the frontend in production, run npm run build.
