# Part-DB
Part-DB is an Open-Source inventory managment system for your electronic components.
It is installed on a web server and so can be accessed with any browser without the need to install additional software.
The version in this Repository is a complete rewrite of the legacy [Part-DB](https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB) (Version < 1.0) based on a modern framework. Currently it is still missing some (less) features from the old version (see [UPGRADE.md](./UPGRADE.md)) for more details, but also many huge improvements and advantages compared to the old version. If you start completly new with Part-DB it is recommended that you use the version from this repository, as it is actively developed.

## Installation
**Caution:** It is possible to upgrade the old Part-DB databases.
Anyhow, the migrations that will be made, are not compatible with the old Part-DB versions, so you must not use the old Part-DB versions with the new database, or the DB could become corrupted.
Also after the migration it is not possible to go back to the old database scheme, so make sure to make a backup of your database beforehand.
See [UPGRADE](UPGRADE.md) for more infos.
If you want to upgrade your legacy (< 1.0.0) version of Part-DB to this version, please read [this](https://docs.part-db.de/upgrade_legacy.html) first.

### Reverse proxy
If you are using a reverse proxy, you have to ensure that the proxies sets the `X-Forwarded-*` headers correctly, or you will get HTTP/HTTPS mixup and wrong hostnames.
If the reverse proxy is on a different server (or it cannot access Part-DB via localhost) you have to set the `TRUSTED_PROXIES` env variable to match your reverse proxies IP-address (or IP block). You can do this in your `.env.local` or (when using docker) in your `docker-compose.yml` file.
