# SekiPOS v2.2 🍫🥤
A reactive POS inventory system for software engineers with a snack addiction. Features real-time UI updates, automatic product discovery via Open Food Facts, and local image caching.
## 🚀 Features
- **Real-time UI:** Instant updates via Socket.IO.
- **Smart Fetch:** Pulls product names/images from Open Food Facts if not found locally.
- **Local Cache:** Saves images locally to `static/cache` to avoid IP bans.
- **CLP Ready:** Chilean Peso formatting ($1.234) for local commerce.
- **Secure:** Hashed password authentication via Flask-Login.
- **On device scanner:** Add and scan products from within your phone!
## 📦 Building the Desktop App (.exe)
If you want to run SekiPOS as a standalone Windows application with its own embedded browser window, you need to compile it using PyInstaller.
### 1. Prerequisites
You **must** use a stable Python release like **Python 3.11** or **3.12**. Pre-release versions (like 3.14) will fail to compile the PyWebView C# dependencies.
Install the required build tools globally for your stable Python version:
```powershell
py -3.11 -m pip install -r requirements.txt pyinstaller
```
### 2. Prepare `app.py`
Before compiling, scroll to the absolute bottom of `app.py` and ensure the standalone runner is active. It should look like this:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
init_db()
# For standalone desktop app with embedded browser, use
run_standalone()
# For docker or traditional server deployment, comment out run_standalone() and uncomment the line below:
# socketio.run(app, host='0.0.0.0', port=5000, debug=True)
```
### 3. Compile
Run this exact command in your terminal. It includes the hidden SocketIO threads and bundles your web templates:
```powershell
py -3.11 -m PyInstaller --noconfirm --onedir --windowed --add-data "templates;templates/" --add-data "static;static/" --hidden-import "engineio.async_drivers.threading" --icon "static/favicon.png" app.py
```
### 4. Post-Build
Your portable app will be generated inside the `dist\app` folder.
* To keep your existing inventory, copy your `db/pos_database.db` and `static/cache/` folders from your source code into the new `dist\app` folder before running the `.exe`.
---
## 🐳 Docker Deployment (Server)
Build and run the central inventory server:
```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t sekipos:latest .
# Run the container (Map port 5000 and persist the database/cache)
docker run -d \
-p 5000:5000 \
-v $(pwd)/sekipos/db:/app/db \
-v $(pwd)/sekipos/static/cache:/app/static/cache \
--name sekipos-server \
--restart unless-stopped \
sekipos:latest
```
Or use this stack:
```yml
name: sekipos
services:
sekipos:
ports:
- 5000:5000
environment:
- TZ=America/Santiago
volumes:
- YOUR_PATH/sekipos/db:/app/db
- YOUR_PATH/sekipos/static/cache:/app/static/cache
container_name: sekipos-server
image: sekipos:latest
restart: unless-stopped
```
## 🔌 Hardware Scanner Bridge (`ScannerGO`)
The server needs a bridge to talk to your physical COM port. Use the `ScannerGO` binary on the machine where the scanner is plugged in.
### 🐧 Linux
```bash
chmod +x ScannerGO-linux
./ScannerGO-linux -port "/dev/ttyACM0" -baud 115200 -url "http://<SERVER_IP>:5000/scan"
```
### 🪟 Windows
```powershell
.\ScannerGO-windows.exe -port "COM3" -baud 115200 -url "http://<SERVER_IP>:5000/scan"
```
*Note: Ensure the `-url` points to your Docker container's IP address.*
All this program does its send the COM data from the scanner gun to:
```
https://scanner.sekidesu.xyz/scan?content=BAR-CODE
```
## 📦 Local Installation (Development)
If you're too afraid of Docker:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```
## 🔐 Credentials
- **Username:** `admin`
- **Password:** `seki123` (Change this in `app.py` or you'll be hacked by a smart-fridge)
## 📁 Structure
- `app.py`: The inventory/web server.
- `static/cache/`: Local repository for product images.
- `db/pos_database.db`: SQLite storage.
## 📋 TODOs?
- Some form of user registration(?)
- Major refactoring of the codebase
