 # Django Railroad Assets Manager (django-ram)
+
+[![Django CI](https://github.com/daniviga/django-rma/actions/workflows/django.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/daniviga/django-rma/actions/workflows/django.yml)
+
+A `jff` (just for fun) project that aims to create a
+model railroad assets manager that allows to:
+
+- Create a database of assets (model trains) and consits with their metadata
+- Manage the database via a simple but rationale backoffice
+- Expose main data via an HTML interface to show how beautiful is your collection
+  to the outside world
+- Act as a DCC++ EX REST API gateway to control assets remotely via DCC.
+  By anyone, if you'd like (really?).
+
+## Preface
+
+Project is intended to have fun only and it has been developed with a
+commitment of few minutes a day; it lacks any kind of documentation, code
+review, architectural review, security assesment, pentest, ISO certification,
+etc.
+
+This project probably doesn't match you needs nor expectations. Be aware.
+
+Your model train may also catch fire while using this software.
+
+## Components
+
+Project is based on the following technologies and components:
+
+- [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/): *the* web framework
+- [Django REST](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/): API for the lazy
+- [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/): for the web frontend
+- [Arduino](https://arduino.cc): DCC hardware
+- [DCC++ EX Command Station](https://dcc-ex.com/): DCC firmware; an amazing project
+- [DCC++ EX WebThrottle](https://github.com/DCC-EX/WebThrottle-EX): a slighly modified version of the DCC++ EX web throttle
+
+It has been developed with:
+
+- [vim](https://www.vim.org/): because it rocks
+- [arduino-cli](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/): a mouse? What the hack?
+- [vim-arduino](https://github.com/stevearc/vim-arduino): another IDE? No thanks
+- [podman](https://podman.io/): because containers are fancy
+- [QEMU (avr)](https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/target-avr.html): QEMU can even make toast!
+
+
+## Requirments
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- A USB port when running Arduino hardware (and adaptors if you have a Mac)
+
+## Web portal installation
+
+### Using containers
+
+coming soon
+
+### Manual installation
+
+Setup your virtualenv
+
+```bash
+$ python3 -m venv venv
+$ source ./venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Install dependencies
+
+```bash
+$ pip install -r requirements.txt
+# Development stuff
+$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+```
+
+Bootstrap Django
+
+```bash
+$ cd ram
+$ python manage.py migrate
+$ python manage.py createsuperuser
+```
+
+Run Django
+
+```bash
+$ python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+Browse to `http://localhost:8000`
+
+
+## DCC++ EX connector
+
+The DCC++ EX connector exposes an Arduino board running DCC++ EX Command Station,
+connected via serial port, to the network, allowing commands to be sent via a
+TCP socket.
+
+Its use is not needed when running DCC++ EX from a [WiFi](https://dcc-ex.com/get-started/wifi-setup.html) capable board (like when
+using an ESP8266 module or a [Mega+WiFi board](https://dcc-ex.com/advanced-setup/supported-microcontrollers/wifi-mega.html)).
+
+### Customize the settings
+
+The daemon comes with default settings in `config.ini`.
+Settings may need to be customized based on your setup.
+
+
+### Using containers
+
+```bash
+$ cd daemons
+$ podman build -t dcc/net-to-serial .
+$ podman run -d -p 2560:2560 dcc/net-to-serial
+```
+
+### Manual setup
+
+```bash
+$ cd daemons
+$ pip install -r requirements.txt
+$ python ./net-to-serial.py
+```
+
+### Test with a simulator
+
+A [QEMU AVR based simulator](daemons/simulator/README.md) running DCC++ EX is bundled togheter with the `net-to-serial.py`
+daemon into a container. To run it:
+
+```bash
+$ cd daemons/simulator
+$ podman build -t dcc/net-to-serial:sim .
+$ podman run --init --cpus 0.1 -d -p 2560:2560 dcc/net-to-serial:sim
+```
+
